Seymour Duncan
They have the Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker with a single Master Volume with a Treble Bleed Circuit. The single pickup is mounted to the 4-ply white Pearloid pickguard.
Apart from that, they have a custom neck plate designed by DeLonge.
It ships in a Fender Deluxe Gig Bag though for the price a hard case would have been a much nicer option, as these aren’t exactly cheap guitars.
An interesting reissue and pretty close to the original run from the early 2000s.
MSRP – USD 1299 / EUR 1389 *
Tom DeLonge To The Stars Accessories
There is also a range of matching official Fender Tom DeLonge To The Stars accessories to go with the launch. Including guitar straps, instrument cables and a set of plectrums.

The Original Tom Delonge Strat
The original run was made in Mexico and featured a single white Seymour Duncan SH8 Invader humbucking pickup in the bridge position and a single volume control.
This is an ultra-high-output pickup and is known for its huge bolt pole pieces.

Early 2000s
These guitars were manufactured between 1999 — 2004, but are now quite sought after once more and prices have climbed high on used examples in good condition.
They came with an alder body, a Medium C profile maple neck and a 9.5″ radius rosewood fretboard.
Colours available included Daphne Blue, Graffiti Yellow, Surf Green and Black. Although, Tom often was seen playing a variety of custom colours as well.
It is a hardtail Strat design with a large ’70s CBS-style Fender headstock shape.
I’m guessing that Fender will release these classic colours again and hopefully, the price will not be ridiculously high. As after all, this is basically a single pickup Strat.
The thing that will sell these guitars will be that a lot of guitarists saw this guitar when they were young and probably couldn’t afford it at the time. Plus, the prices on used examples are now around $2k and sometimes more, so they are being hyped by scarcity.
So, Fender, will no doubt sell bucketloads of this limited edition model.
