Independent shopping perspective
Tom DeLonge’s Starcaster is an offset semi-hollow electric with a laminated maple body, solid maple center block and a single Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom humbucker. The uncomplicated control layout is one master volume, fitted with a treble-bleed circuit to retain high-end clarity as you turn down. Its maple Modern C neck, rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets support rhythm and lead work, while the Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored tailpiece keep the hardware fixed.
