« Fender Tom DeLonge Stratocaster »

Recently I've been looking into buying a new guitar. Hearing nothing but good reviews about Fener's Tom DeLonge Stratocaster, I decided to try one out. To my surprise, it was even better than I would have ever expected. After saving up my pennies, I went to a local guitar shop. Since no one in town had any left, I had to order one. One month and $735.00 (Cdn.) later, it was mine.

I love almost everything about it. The large headstock, pearl pickguard, and the surf green colour gives a nice retro look. I love the beefy sound it throws out and it's overall simplicity. It sounds amazing when playing any punk, punk rock, or emo and any other type of music with a heavier sound.

There's only one thing I wasn't pleased with... the shipping time. It took over a month to get too me (it was hell). Also, don't buy this guitar if you're looking for a versatile axe. It is an amazing machine, but only if punkrock music is what you're into (or other heavy/distorted music).

Although I was uncertain as to what the quality of a Mexican Stratocaster would be, It is exceptionally well made. It's just as good as any American Standard strat.

Good quality, good value, awesome sound. A great buy.
