- Dagan checks out the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, Tom DeLonge Signature Fender Starcaster! Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has teamed up with Fender once again to design a truly otherworldly phenomenon - the Tom DeLonge Starcaster!
Designed with an offset semi-hollow body, the Tom DeLonge Starcaster boasts a Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom humbucker for turbo-charged tone that’s perfect for chunky power chords and crunchy riffs. But it's not all about power - the streamlined control setup consisting of a single master volume combined with a treble bleed circuit preserves the guitar’s natural high-end, ensuring sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones!

The Duncan Custom really is awesome! Man...I need a pink starcaster!!
I myself have had this crave. And noticing that I don't have a spay paint thing or 1300$ or more to buy one I'm currently trying to get a pink squier sonic ht strat for 200 and put 300 of mods into it and turn it into a tom delonge strat.
Tom just dropped his jaw after seeing Dagan shred.
Love that look and those modern tones! I'm an 80's guy myself but I love that quality man
Love when Dagan does the Punk Rock. I was thinking I wanted the gold but really digging this white guitar.
Super tempted to buy this guitar
NOT DAGAN STARTING WITH FAMILY REUNION😂
🤘🤘🤘
It’s looks awesome! Great review Dagan! Just ordered mine in shell pink!🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻😎
It looks great
Thanks for the long demo. Love aspects of this version. My preference would be for 2 P90’s and no TD signature. It’s the untapped potential of the Starcaster that I really like, and the neck.
I was half-waiting for it to be outfitted with a Seymour Duncan Invader! I really did enjoy the sound of the Dirty Fingers pickup and the aforementioned Invader in the 2 previous iterations of it👍🏽
this dude is a legend
Gorgeous
Don’t hate on me, but for the longest I could never get behind this guy, at all. But now, in my opinion, he’s one of the best product demonstrators/presenters on CZcams. You can tell how much he loves his job.
🤘🏻
Haha, thanks man! I just love guitars and chatting about them 🤘
How the hell did this guy with little to no actually skill on guitar and absolutely zero personality become the face of pmts social media channels
@@metalmaniaclukeuk Ha! Wow 👀
I had the same feeling with PhilX back in the day, but he grew on me, dude just loves guitars and plays the hell out of them!
@@metalmaniaclukeukHe’s a pretty good guitar player tbh, and a lot of fun to watch. Pretty obvious why they’d put him in sales.🤷♂️
Great review! Sticking with the TD Strat though, it's worth the extra cost
Family reunion 😂
🤘😂
Fender linda demais!!!.
What amp are you using? As that makes a big difference obviously, and can make medium output pups like this sound killer
awesome demo! Which amp are you using?
This is probably one of the worst-kept secrets of this year's release 😂
I guess we also gotta thank Gibson for, not only serving as an inspiration for using the Starcaster as Tom's next baseline model, but also for not being able to deliver to his demands, causing him to move back to Fender (for context, when Tom started playing again in 2019, they attempted to custom-order a few of his ES-333 model but the backlog for Gibson was so huge at the time, they won't be able to deliver to him for at least 2 years)
You can also thank the Indonesia Squier factory for building it….
You ever get the sense that PMTV just unleashes Dagan. Turn on the camera and leave. Let him mess around for 20 minutes, and yes, I will watch it. Formula works for me.
Haha thanks dude! 🤘
Thanks for this review, Dagan. Too few reviewers bother with playing actual blink songs with these.
Ordered other day have to wait until September
Dagan is my favorite guitar player
Please recommend a gig bag suitable for Fender Starcaster! (not shell case)
Looks a great piece of kit
Hello Dennys! 😂
😂🤘
@@PMTVUK had to amend it to get youtube to allow me to comment, SORRY NOT SORRY! :P The reference happened!
Good lawd. I don’t need another geeter. But I think I need another now 😂
I hope we get a squier version. I'd get two or three colors instead of one . All made in Indonesia anyway
What differences with the basic starcaster?
Is this guitar limited edition to a certain number?
Looks great but no blink logo inlays or lefty versions plus a huge price for a Mexican made guitar compared to other series. Sad times
And it’s actually made in Indonesia! Same factory as the Jim Adkins Tele I believe, and from what I understand, that’s a pretty well made guitar. But a lot cheaper too.
same place that made Tom's custom shop bodies. Indonesia is the only place with the starcaster moulds
CNC
The ones Tom plays have the blink-182 "smiley face" logo as the fret inlays.... I wonder why they just used standard dot inlays instead of the blink smiley face logo inlays on these.
Price point I’d assume
Price point and the guy who made those is a custom shop inlay artist and cant really mass produce those
Time and money
Pretty much Fender's answer to Epiphone's Dave Grohl 335
Throwing some josie in there see 😉
You reviewing the new Epiphone inspired by Gibson Custom Shop
Played one in a shop. The surf green looked like a toy guitar for kids. This white looks nice though. Some love it, but not for me.
That guitar is big on Dagan so I know it would definitely be too big for myself at 5’8.
Talk......!
Tom Signature Guitars:
Fender Stratocaster + Gibson ES333 = Fender Starcaster
1200 for a single pickup/knob Indonesia made guitar. What a time to be alive!
People are still making these asinine comments? Guitsrs aren’t cheap anymore buddy. Nothing is. Get over it. $1,200 for this isn’t a bad deal.
@@diddyfaplord For this price with how barebones of a guitar it is with a single circuit it is overpriced though. You can get a MIM Player series for less. Feel free to look up the QC issues from Indonesian guitars.
What i want to know is if the bindings are real and not painted on like the squier starcasters. No one is talking about them being real, only the color. Squiers item description also lists the "binding" and its the same factory. If im paying over $1k for any guitar I want real bindings
Also, his sticker starcaster is actually pink. Its just a very light shade of shell pink. He then has a second darker shell pink closer to whats on the production model.
My guess would be if it's made in the same factory as the Squire ones, then the bindings are painted on.
@@robotjeansThing is some models of the older highest end squire starcaster actually did have real binding. Newer models it seems like they're either painted on or left off completely.
He has more than 1 sticker guitar
@@high_on_nightmares maybe the binding is just another sticker /s
@@high_on_nightmaresHe only has one sticker STARCASTER. It's called "Milo" and it's pink. The rest are all custom paint and drawn on.
intro semua tentang kita dong bang
Is this a 25.5" scale or more like Gibson's shorter scale? Id take the shorter scale anything for a guitar like this, over the damn Fender scale on a Gibson classic design everyday.
Gotta 25.5 it’s a fender
No blink inlays is crazy.
No tone knob is even crazier. I get it’s “Tom’s spec”, but most guitarists need one.
You expecting custom shop level inlays from a 1k dolar guitar is crazy
@@TheDibbsnah no tone knob is what makes this special
@@Boraxizyum Strong disagree; it’s visually appealing, but you’re paying more for less on this one. The treble bleed circuit is a poor substitute imo.
@@TheDibbsEVH didn't need a tone knob. All metal and most harder rock musicians don't use tone knobs. I think other guitarists will be just fine. If you desperately need one then this guitar simply isn't for you. That's how products work, YOU buy what YOU want in the product instead of expecting one product to fit everyone.
Your first riff choice 😂
1200 for what is essentially a squier. fuck this i'm playing bass
squier? squiers dont have seymour duncan pickups, custom artwork, better finishes, better setups, longer lasting resale value, fender logo/cosntruction etc. What are you talking about. squiers play and are setup like shit
Dude look likes Dave Grohl with that guitar. ❤
Made in Indonesia, the price is too expensive? The price should be 30% lower. Labor costs are significantly lower in Indonesia than USA, Mexico, South Korea and Japan.
I don't think they had a choice to make it anywhere except Indonesia because it's the only factory with the tooling to make Starcaster's. You're right about the price, I have a feeling Squire will be doing what Epiphone has done with their higher priced models.
Looking at the specs, there is no reason the guitar should cost that much. Half the price would be pushing it.
Who the f is Tom Delong?
Signature guitars are for suckers
It's cool but it's really a squier for 1200 dollars.... Made in Indonesia....
Made in Indonesia for $1200!!!!!!????? Come on. 😢
Yea really its really a squier.
@@jacobray8685 I played this yesterday at the guitar center in Commack on Long Island. It played like CRAP! Felt so cheap. Just my two cents.
I feel the same way about the JA-90. Ive wanted it for so long but can't comprehend the price being built out of country at nearly the same price and an American Performer series. Would be nice to see this and the JA-90 and the Tom Strat at more of the 799-999 price point
Inflation...
Yup. And some to most people can afford it without having to break the bank.
that things a chunk of shit..but Dagan is always awesome!
Heard they're over a grand, hard pass
Doesn’t sound as good as the Stratocaster in my opinion.
try compare with his ES-335
That guitar is HORRIFIC. Dude's band clearly isn't into Marshall Stacks and monster double bass Tama drum sets. Therefore, I have ZERO interest.
Looks horrible. Just buy an Epiphone dot.
Sounds like crap and not authentic these have the treble bleed, which Tom doesn't use
Dude what?litterally every single td guitar had a treble bleed.The tone is also like perfect
@@Boraxizyum i have an og and reissue...they do not have it. I have never had his Es333 It sounded better after he adjusted the gain
Maybe the reason Tom doesn't have them in his personal instruments is because he spends tens of thousands of dollars on production equipment instead of the average consumer who's playing through a sub $1k amp, whereas Tom is playing through a $5k preamp.
@@ja-son439 both the og and the reissue have a treble bleed circuit.same as the 333
@@Boraxizyum they jave two wiring diglagrams from Seymour Duncan. One is for just a single humbucker and the other is for Tom Delonge. Even though the Delonge shows it, they do not have them. I changed my pickguard out on og due to the yrllowing, and it did not have it
