Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster, Surf Green, (Used)

The Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster in Surf Green is a signature electric guitar model inspired by the instrument used by Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge. It features a solid alder body finished in Surf Green with a gloss lacquer, giving it the classic Stratocaster silhouette with vintage-inspired visual appeal. The bolt-on maple neck carries a slab rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5″ radius and 21 medium-jumbo frets, offering a familiar feel that supports both rhythm and lead playing.

This signature model’s electronics are highly simplified compared with a typical Strat: it has a single bridge pickup, originally designed to be high-output for punk and rock tones, coupled with one master volume control. There are no tone controls or pickup selector switches, reflecting Tom DeLonge’s preference for straightforward, aggressive sound and performance focus. The result is a direct signal path that emphasises punch and drive from the bridge pickup.

Hardware on the Surf Green Tom DeLonge Stratocaster includes sealed tuners and a six-saddle hardtail bridge with through-body stringing for stable tuning and increased sustain. The pickguard is typically white or slightly aged-white to complement the Surf Green finish. With its stripped-down controls and focused design, this guitar delivers the essential tones and feel associated with Tom DeLonge’s playing style.
