Also, I've seen regular Gibson Tom Delonge versions, and some that are Gibson Custom Shop versions. Why are there two different versions, or were they all Custom Shop?
Squier Sonic Stratocaster with Pearl Pickguard from Amazon.
The Humbucker sounds surprisingly good for a budget guitar!
Selling my 2002 TD strat which I know is genuine as I bought it off a friend of mine in about 2006 who was the original owner. I’ve had a few people ask about the serial and why it doesn’t come up on the Fender serial lookup and I checked myself and it doesn’t. I’m aware a lot of the original run strats don’t, how can I put someone’s mind at ease that it is genuine and does anyone’s OG actually come up on the serial lookup?
23 years ago I picked up my first ever guitar, an all black Fender Squier. Blink was THE reason why I wanted to play. Every day after school and on the weekends I'd spend endless hours on LimeWire (definitely not ripping blink albums) and teaching myself how to play their songs. That guitar and those endless bedroom nights lit a passion deep within me to start making music. Unfortunately, life has many twists and turns but I never left playing. In 2020 with the "vid" running rampant I started taking up recording and eventually mixing and sound engineering. This track was inspired by a compendium of blink songs and manifested through my vision. Not so long ago I was fortunate enough to meet a like minded musician, a drummer who became one of my best friends. We put everything into this song and pushed ourselves well outside our comfort zone; this is the culmination of all of those experiences. Please give a listen.
Hey guys, selling my Adventure Box and know some people here are after them so wanted to give first dibs. Absolutely BRAND NEW in box NEVER OPENED, NEVER played. I've only played a buddy's version and the stuff it can do is pretty sick, but this has never been touched. Rather someone else get use out of it. Not a fancy build number or anything, can be supplied to prospective buyer(s).
Price is 1200AUD shipped worldwide (845USD).
finally pieced it all together. heavily inspired by tom delonges adams song subsonic baritone strat.

I have a question out of curiosity. Why was the Seymour Duncan Invader pickup on this ES-335 later replaced with the Gibson Dirty Fingers? Was it simply to align its sound with his other newer Gibsons, or was it because the Invader didn't sound good in a semi hollow body guitar? I've always wondered whether it was a purely tonal decision, or a more "political" one after he officially switched from Fender to Gibson and was therefore expected, or even pressured, to make the change. Thank you!
Had been in contact with a seller for an ES-333 in great condition. Was all ready to drive 2 hours out to meet up this afternoon.
Sent a message just to confirm details today and got a bounce back that the message could not be delivered. Turns out their entire FB marketplace account and personal account have been deleted or made super private.
A deal falling through is one thing, but this person appears to have just deleted everything without any communication.
Lucky I didn’t wait until I was on the road the check in I guess.
The 16 year old version of me is very sad about this development. The current age version of me is also bummed.
Thanks for being the community that would understand.
After seeing what Alan and the guys from Gear 182 did with the Padres 2.0 I felt in love with this simple design. However I didn't liked the cream and brown colors. I decided 7 months ago to build mine. After playing with AI render I choose this mat charcoal black on a flamed maple top Starcaster body. I used the wood grain as a second color and it looked far better than expected. I cut the design by hand using a stencil vinyl. It took more longer than originally planned because of the bad weather we had here. Can't wait to show you guys the finish guitar with the hardware on!
Only pic I got
Had a friend mod a mim strat I bought in 07. Love the tone of the ES-333 but i'm always worried about banging it up while gigging. Not to mention the clunky hard shell case I have to lug around to keep it in. Figured this would be easier. Can't wait to play out with it.
It's a partcaster, but all parts are Fender originals. 70's strat neck, I wanted to keep the HH hence a Jazz SD H in the neck.
Super excited, and wanted to ask you folks for any red flags to look out for. Listing did not have a ton of details, but the limited photos make the condition look above average at least.
Thanks for any input!
I decided to throw the alien thing on the front and throw the custom serial number on the body, because you can't see it on the headstock...but it's there. The ink from the waterslide decals ran as soon as I attempted to manipulate them, so where they ended up thats where they're staying.
