The Fender Stratocaster, often referred to as the Strat, is a model of electric guitar designed by Leo Fender[7], George Fullerton and Freddie Tavares in 1954, and manufactured continuously to the present.
It is a double-cutaway guitar, with an extended top horn for balance while standing. The Stratocaster has been used by many leading guitarists, and thus can be heard on many historic recordings.
Along with the Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, and the Fender Telecaster, it is one of the most common and enduring models of electric guitar in the world.
The design of the Stratocaster has transcended the field of music to rank among the classic industrial designs of all time; examples have been exhibited at major museums around the world.[8]
The Fender Tom DeLonge Strocaster was introduced in 1999 by Fender Musical Instrument Corporation.
It uses regular stratocaster body with one humbucking pickup, one volume knob, and a 1970s Fender Headstock.
It started with a white Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader in the bridge position and later the black one was also used.
At first, the Stratocasters were fitted with an American 2-Point tremolo system which was later replaced by a hardtail bridge.
Its neck consisted of solid maple with a rosewood fretboard, although there have been some early custom Stratocasters that were fitted with maple fretboards.
The necks included a large 1970s CBS headstock. The Custom Shop models made for Tom DeLonge himself had Sperzel locking tuners, but the regular production model (Made in Mexico) had stock Kluson-style tuners made by Ping, a Korean parts manufacturer.
Fender stopped Tom Delonge Guitar production in 2003 and since then Fender gradually stopped producing the replacement parts.
At NewFashionSense.com, we still continue to carry one humbucker and one control knob Tom Delonge Style Pickguard.
Our pickguards come with precision custom cut to the original Fender replacement parts by our vendor right here in the United States.
Our pickguards are brand new with unpeeled plastic-seal protective cover.
This is the standard Strat® size and 11 screw holes placement. When retrofitting a pickguard, you will almost always need to modify a few screw holes of your guitar body.
