Gibson Tom DeLonge Signature Guitar Review
thick, distorted tone – get the sound of blink 182
Gibson’s semi-hollowbody design gets a punk rock makeover with the Tom DeLonge signature guitar. The guitar is equipped with an overwound ‘Dirty Fingers’ humbucking pickup, which adds a thick, distorted tone to the classic semi-hollowbody sound. This unique combination of a semi-hollowbody and a high-output pickup makes this guitar perfect for So-Cal punk rock.
The guitar has a classic semi-hollowbody design, with a laminated maple top, back, and sides, and a solid maple center block. The neck is made of mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard, featuring pearloid dot inlays and a slim taper profile. The hardware is finished in nickel, including the ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece.
Tom DeLonge’s guitar riffs have become iconic in the world of punk rock, and this guitar is the perfect tool to achieve his signature sound. Whether you’re playing in a punk rock band or just want to add some attitude to your playing, the Tom DeLonge signature guitar is an excellent choice.
