We don't know when the Tom DeLonge Fender Starcaster signature model will surface, or if it will, but it could be some way off considering he'd only recently started playing custom models. But if you've got the one-pickup Starcaster bug like DeLonge, you might not have to wait after all — if you follow Mark Gutierrez's lead. The luthier and YouTuber decided to take on the project with a Squier Starcaster model as the foundation. If you've seen DeLonge's custom models you'll note they differ from all other Starcasters in two fundamental ways; they have an oversized Strat-esque headstock father that the distinctive Starcaster design, and Tom — as with his other signature guitars — only uses one Seymour Duncan humbucker pickup with one volume control and no switch. As Gutierrez notes, in addition to DeLonge's selection of punk rock stickers on his main Coachella guitar he's had a selection of other uniquely-finished Starcasters made too , there's Blink smiley face inlays. Recreating the sticker positioning actually gives Gutierrez the opportunity to cover the neck pickup cavity, tone switch and pickup switch filling work. But the inlays are another matter entirely and prove just how skilled he is. Check the video above to see how Gutierrez goes about creating the DeLonge Starcaster. He's meticulous and we're certainly impressed with the results; he even orders creations of DeLonge's stickers from Kazakhstan via Etsy and uses the same Custom Seymour Duncan humbucker that Delonge has fitted to his.

We're blown away by Mark Gutierrez's woodworking skills and dedication to the project. The end results look and sound fantastic. Check out his YouTube channel — we'll certainly be subscribing!

Blink's classic lineup of Tom DeLonge , Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker made their long-awaited return at the Coachella Festival on Friday with a hits-filled set, but our eyes were on DeLonge's new Fender custom Starcaster model that combines elements of his previous signature models and heralds a new era for the company's resurgent semi-hollow '70s model. DeLonge has played signature one-pickup Fender Strats and Gibson ESs in the past, so the Starcaster's spec is the perfect melding of the two with the neck and headstock style of the former with a semi-hollow construction and one humbucker pickup. Fans only had a day's notice of the band's 6. A post shared by Official Tom DeLonge tomdelonge.
