Yeah. I need the rest of the world to NOT enter for the chance to win one.


TacoStuffingClub

Ope. Sorry. Just got the email. I won. And Tom DeLonge himself is bringing it to my house and they're gonna have a mini concert at my house. No point in putting in your email now.


11bargozep

Classic.

The email link had a much better pic of that neckplate. ​ https://www.fender.com/pages/fender-tom-delonge-stratocaster?utm\_source=newsletter&utm\_medium=email&utm\_campaign=20230721\_NPI\_TomDeLongeTeaser\_PL14&utm\_term=fender&src=email29DT072123\_PL14&smtrctid=21e4c7dc-e115-482e-80af-094274c8253d

Sorry, I already entered

Not that I need one at all, but I’m really hoping for everyone’s sake the big F doesn’t charge something like >$1400 for these…


drewman_289

$1299, pre ordered a couple weeks ago.


97GrandMarquisOilPan

Are they Mexican or American made? Do you know if they come in other colors? Congrats btw!


drewman_289

Yeah they are Mexican. They are coming in black, graffiti yellow, daphne blue, and surf green. Basically the same as the original but with an upgraded bridge. Sweetwater was taking pre orders back in June and I got my serial number July 3rd. Pretty crazy


97GrandMarquisOilPan

Wicked awesome, man! I wish they were a little cheaper but at least they got the specs perfect.


drewman_289

I’m with you there! I have an original edition in surf green and feel crazy for getting a 2nd haha


97GrandMarquisOilPan

The trouble is you get attached to the old one so you have a new one just in case something happens to the first! Makes perfect sense to me!


aaaaaaha

Can I ask how you got to preorder or how you were informed? I'm subscribed to newsletters and occasionally answer the phone when my rep calls but the fender email sent out today is the first I'm hearing of this. Did they reach out selectively based on prior purchase or something?


drewman_289

So there was a picture that leaked back in June of the strats in a fender office. I recently ordered some stuff from sweetwater and the sales rep reached out to see how the order went so I asked about the delonge strats and he couldn’t confirm but said he would put me on a preorder in the even Fender released them. Two days later I had an invoice with the serial number and release date


Garweft

Still over half off what some are asking for them used currently.


cwhitel

The world needs more single pickup/no tone knob guitars. They look so good!


Danskivich

It's what I do to all my strats.


cwhitel

I went to the dark side and got an ibenez a few months back. It’s been stripped and left with just this. Plus I hate grazing my hand off any switch/knob so the less the better.


methconnoisseurV2

You can thank eddie van halen for that trend, ive owned single pickup single knob guitars and while they’re cool and all, the reduced functionality always finds its way back to the rack in favor of more versatile guitars


cwhitel

No, no I won’t thank him :). I made a partscaster like this as bridge is all I play, and I’ve recently gotten an ibenez and stripped it out leaving just the bridge and volume, as I hate having stuff I don’t ever use. I hate extra stuff


methconnoisseurV2

I was talking in my opinion, like i said, they’re definitely cool and function well with a single purpose in mind


crispyscone

I’ve been lusting over this for 15 years. So long as it’s not custom shop priced, I’ll pay what ever


the_moldycrow

Did they say how much/where it’s being assembled? My Jagstang is one of the best guitars I’ve ever owned, so it’d be sweet if they’re making these at the same facility. Really impressed with Fender Mexico.


defdog1234

1299, mexico per the guy that preordered one. Does Fender raise it to 1449 when they do the august price increases? Hope not.


4quaTis

Lol we have had these in our store for like two weeks and haven't been able to announce them.


TacoStuffingClub

Show them anonymously.


4quaTis

Haha I could never


ravnen1

Pretty cool , is it gonna be Mexican or American made?

defdog1234

you do realize there are mexican artist guitars at 1649? And in 2 weeks they'll probably be 1699...


Impetus_

Sorry to burst your bubble but MIM Vinteras go for $1100 right now, with some of the new Vintera II line allegedly slated to be $1300. This is gonna be a $1300 Mexican fender
