Till this day, a surf-green Tom Delonge Strat is my absolute Dream-Guitar. I wouldn't even mind if it's the Fender or Squier.
I almost bought a Fender version in Surf Green for $950 shipped. I'm still pissed to this day that I didn't buy it.
Preston Shepherd I think he still has that white tom strat on sale on reverb for 650 bucks
My dream guitars are custom models of some of his 1999 strats (Graffiti Yellow, Ice Blue Metallic, Sage Green Metallic)
I had the fender version and I swore I liked the Squire better
same here
Seeing you with a delonge just feels nostalgic, reminds me of being a lot younger and wishing I could play guitar haha
Will Rieflink
I loved hearing you play those tunes on that guitar!
These riffs r such a throw back to my high school days, those blink riffs got me playing guitar
Wait til you listen to my music
Bought this exact guitar at a pawn shop for $100 when I was 14. Still the best purchase I’ve ever made. Even the squire is a banger instrument
Sounds crispy, got chills when you played m&ms again lol
Personally think it's the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. I waiting 20years to get a fender version in surf green, as I started playing the year it went out of production. Girlfriend found it and got for our 10 years anniversary, my most prized possession now!
That guitar is one of the greatest squiers ever made. The Detonator is really good. That was my first guitar and I regret ever selling it. Def a quality guitar.
thankfully you can still find em pretty cheap these days.
Jeremy My first guitar 16 years ago and it still the only electric guitar I play ha ha
I've not seen one of these for sale in the UK so I bought a Squier Affinity Srat in Surf Green for £170, new. Changed the pick guard, tone knobs and put some seymour Duncan's in it. It looks just like the TD Sig and plays great for the price!
I would love to hear you do enema again with your new setup. Or even just dump weed or something
possibly
Yes!!!!
My parents bought me a surf green fender one when I was in high school back in 2002. Still have it. It needs to be taken in for a cleaning and some adjusting, but still in decent shape. I played it a lot back then, but it’s just been bagged up and sitting around for the last 10 years. It’s gonna take me a lot of practice to get back to being able to play how I used to. Don’t think I could rattle off M&Ms as easily as you though. I love that guitar though. I really regret not buying his Epiphone one. I didn’t realize they just stopped making last year, but I hope they make it again soon.
jeezzz when you started playing carousel i got chills, it was so good man👽
This guitar-Fender or Squier-produces perfect distortion. Just an underrated rhythm guitar. I am surprised more people do not use these. I’ve owned 2 of the Fender versions in surfer green and sold them both-big mistake. I found a near perfect SG Squier 4 years ago for under 200. I will never sell it. I hope to find a Fender that I will keep as well. Unfortunately, people are asking absolutely ridiculous prices for them. I have seen them listed for over 2 grand. They don’t sell at that price of course.
Sounds really cool.
I bought two of these used. Each cost me $250 Canadian and both came with gig bags. Put an invader and new pot in the one but, the other is all original. Will probably put a new pick up in it eventually but I might go with something that’s more classic rock sounding. Thanks for the vid!
Nice! Theyre fun guitars.
I have recently had installed a graphite nut and string tree ( TUSQ🐘) and got everything set up with Elixir 10s; professionally done and set nice and low- What a difference it’s made, no more tuning issues etc. It’s a guitar that sounds amazing
Were his strats seafoam green or surf green? I see both mentioned online but was never sure which was correct.
i've seen both. seafoam is a little paler and i've definitely seen at least 1 paler looking one in his personal collection. but his actual signature production models were surf green i believe
Prices on these have like quadrupled since this video
I had the opportunity of buying one of these this week but the seller was a jackass and when I was ready to pay him he blocked me... Got mad and bought a Fender Alkaline Trio Malibu instead. Not bad...
Did you ever get one
@@nickgames7120 Till this day I never got my hands on a TD Strat, however from 2018-2020 I owned an ES-333 TD Epiphone
I’ll be buying this guitar now lol thanks. Hopefully I’ll find a sweet deal
... And of course it would cool if did some Blink Videos with it 😉
i got one from the pawnshop for $75 in black. Truss rod nut was stripped, so i swapped for an old affinity neck i had laying around.
can you tell me where i could find a squire tom delonge strat of my own ? i want to buy the squire version and modify it to be the real deal just having trouble finding one to even begin with...
I bought the fender version and I ended up liking this squier one I had before better. So I sold it
Sounds great man!
You should seriously make more videos of blink 182 songs like a redo of the old videos you have up. It sounds so much better now than before.
we'll see. i've dealt with a lot of copyright problems with blink 182 videos so its not always worth the effort
littleredguitars2 have you tried putting in the description or saying that you do not own anything of blink 182?
That doesn't do anything.
littleredguitars2 Hmm idk too much about youtube. I never had too much time to learn. But im sure you cna figure it out. Just wanna say that you are really good at playing guitar. And ive learned how to play one of everything and thats my favorite song that youve made. Btw weve talked before im just on my psn youtube channel. But thanks for the reply and ill keep tuning in on your videos. Im not trying to be a kiss ass or anything its just your videos are super creative and very professional. Keep doing you. Do you have a twitter?
Sounds pretty awesome bro, where do you get it ? Im looking for this guitar
reverb.com
This is what I grew up playing. It played better than pretty much every guitar I ever played under a grand.
Sounds great. Great playing also.
Question, Does it have volume and tone with just one pot, or just tone, or just volume?
Just volume
@@littleredguitars2 I accidentally wired mine to have tone only, no volume. I actually like this option. Who needs a volume pot.
What exactly is the difference in terms of sound quality between the TD squier and the TD fender? Is it a good idea to get the squier and just upgrade the PUs and the neck to the stuff that´s on the fender one?
everything about the fender is better. better quality wood. nicer, more reliable hardware. better pickup. etc. not to say the squier is a bad guitar. its just cheaper for a reason.
the detonators are a cross between the duncan invader and duncan distortion is what i was told when i inquired about them. I've bought a ton of detonators over the years to use in my live guitars
Hi Jon!
Amazing video as always.
I was just wondering, if you add an Invader to a Squier TD you could have basically the same tone.
But what the neck feeling? How is the neck feeling on a Squier TD? And compared to a Fender TD?
Thank you! :)
I wouldn't mind if they rereleased the Squier version of the Tom strat again.
I have this in black. It was my first guitar and still the only guitar that I use
I’m thinking of upgrading to a fender jazz master player series
Is there an actual Tom Delonge signature on the headstock or is it just his name on the neck plate?
Just the neck plate
I'm interested in getting Delonge and I've wanted the Fender for years, but there's a really good deal for a Squire version at my near by Music Go Round. Would you recommend going with a Squire which would save me quite a bit of money, or shelling out more for the Fender? Thanks!
you should play it first and decide if you like it. they're both good guitars
@@littleredguitars2I went down to Music Go Round and tried out the Squire. I was very very impressed by how well it played. An absolute steal for the price! Thanks for the response man!
@@pjstraightedge Did you buy the Squier?
@@davidkastin4240 I did. I love it!
@@pjstraightedge That's awesome 👍
How much did you pay for the guitar if I might ask? I’m looking at a similar one, in great condition & they’re asking $400 not including $100 shipping. The tromelo is blocked off and hard tailed, is that bad and should I try to talk them down? I’m a beginner
Thats not a legit TD guitar. Its a knock off if its not a real hardtail. For which I wouldn't give 400. No way
Love that guitar!
I have the squier version from 2001. It's a detonar PU and i like it a lot. Is it really a big different if you put an invader in the squier one?
Give this video a shot and see what you think . czcams.com/video/SB9wD-qUJuQ/video.html
Could you post you setting this guitar up?
Did you get rid of all your Strandbergs?
yeah but i'll probably get another eventually.
Tuners have been just fine for 15 years
sounds pretty good
Amazing!!
I’d like to make my own custom single humbucker guitar. Will a Squier body fit a fender neck? Is there a certain level of Squier I need in order to succeed with this?
Not necessarily. Some fender and squier parts will fit together properly but many dont.
littleredguitars2 any experience with Eden bodies? I think I’ll start there, but curious if you think they’re decent.
Would a strat pickguard fit on a squier?
Its unlikely to be a perfect fit when mixing american made parts with asian made guitars. Itll probably work in the long run but you might have to drill a couple new screw holes
Sick ! Would you recommend this over the epiphone version of his signature?
yes i really dont like the epiphone signature. feels cheaper than the cost of the guitar.
Interesting I got one for 300 Canadian a few years back. Had to soder the pick up myself haha but I wouldn't have paid more. I will keep my eye out for the Squier as I feel the tones might be better than the Gibson to play blinks old stuff.
curious if you ever took off the pickguard and found normally pickup cavities routed or not ?
Only one cavity for bridge HB... pretty cool 😏
Hey man. Did you have to redrill a lot of holes to make that Fender pickguard fit?
a few
What do you think if i put an Invader neck pickup to the bridge on a Squier mini and make a short version of delonge strat? I have small fingers and i am not comfortable with full size guitars...
do what you gotta do to make it work. short scale stuff is cool. sounds like it would be fun.
I already have just a regular fender squier strat but if I buy a Tom Delonge Fender Strat with a Duncan Designed pickup will I notice a big difference in sound or no(dont know to much about guitar tech)
I've played with the Squire version forever and it's always done me pretty well. If you want to hear it in action on my recording let me know
Does anyone knows what tuners you can use for upgrade without drilling other holes?
I dont remember what style the squier ones use. Maybe gotoh tuners would be a direct swap. They make a few different styles
You've come full circle lol
no u.
Can anyone tell me the exact model of this guitar can’t find it anywhere online
Its literally in the title of the video. And they dont make them anymore. Look for a used one on Ebay or something
Some dude is offering a white delonge strat for $330, trying to debate whether to get it or not. He says its one of the more rare versions, would love your opinion/advice on this one 😯
XchuggsX yeah you don't see white very often. Up to you if its worth spending your money on though
Hey Dude, i just want to say thanks for this video :) this guitar is fucking cool
Thanks for watching!
What pots are you using? sounds really good
It's all stock
Sounds killa
I just bought one of these for $200. All black though
how to do the strat tom neck
Alder body??
This is the only electric guitar I own and I have played for 15 years. I'm trying to buy a new guitar now! What I'm so used to this one
Maybe a Yamaha
Found one for 150 usd/eur, worth it?
Fredrik Svärd where did you find it?
And yes it is worth it.
Toates magoats
Do you still have this guitar?
any opinions on replacing s squier neck for a fender one?
theres about a 99% chance the mounting holes will NOT line up. you'd have to drill out new holes and likely plug the old ones... mixing squier and fender parts isnt the best idea because they arent very compatible. its doable. but it'll take some extra work.
Does anyone know what type of knob is used? I'm trying as hard as possible to figure it out, and it looks similar to a telecaster knob but I can't quite figure it out.
just a fender flat top chrome knob. and yes, they are typically found on teles
Thanks, man. Keep up the awesome work!
Where'd you get the pickguard from?
You can get them off amazon
I seen a guy trying to sell the squier model for £600 on ebay, I want one but, I don’t want one that desperately lool
250k or 500k volume pot?????
500k for humbuckers
Love the fat distortion
Seymour duncan neck or bridge installed?
watch the video
littleredguitars2 I watch your video but I speak Spanish 😅
its the duncan designed detonator pickup that came stock in the squier models
littleredguitars2 thank you man,I like your videos because I listen blink 182,its my favorite band 🤙
How is it routed?
The squier is routed for just a single bridge humbucker. Nothing else
What's the song at 8:07??
Adam's Song
What song at 7:34
mutt
You have his tone down mate.
Hey man, where did you get the replacement pickguard? I got a Fender branded , but the holes dont line up at all and the fit around the bridge is off. Thanks for the great content
drill new holes. not a huge deal.
The holes are not the big deal, the big deal is that the neck area doesn't line up. I had the same problem when I tried to replace the pickguard on my Samick Malibu (a Fender fat Strat copy).
I have a black screaming demon I'm looking to trade if anyone is interested I live in Mass and can ship. thanks
whre are u buy this guitar?
Wira Adimas check eBay, but expect to pay a lot, they stopped making them a while ago BUT if you already have a guitar just get a Seymour Duncan invader bridge pickup, that’s what I did
it the same original off tom delonge or custom pickups only?
Wira Adimas what do you mean dawg
Fall Semester
Thats what I was thinking...kind of make your own.
The Great Gazoo yeah man! Way cheaper and the duo sonic hs has a single coil too so it’s more versatile then this one
Holy shit are you selling this? I just saw one with those same pickups for sale. I want it 😂
I already sold it
Is that a Jeff Buckley tele behind you
No
I just bought the squire delonge strat at my neighbors yard sale for $5, she said shed take $1 but since the money was going to our local cat shelter, I just gave her $5
What's the song at 7:33 ?
mutt
@@littleredguitars2 oh shit yeah of course
