Review of Fender Custom Shop Tom DeLonge Style Strat from the Music Zoo!

[@chobiechumpis]

Not all heroes wear capes, you guys came back when the world needed you the most. In all seriousness, welcome back Brian and Stefan. I'm not the biggest fan of relics, but these are damn cool.

[@Gear182]

Thanks so much!

[@davidjohnsully]

Love that you got one each! So damn cool chaps ❤

[@Gear182]

Thanks 😊

The biggest issue I see with almost every Tom Delonge strat replica is the neck. A true replica would have a 69 Strat Neck, U Shape, 21 fret, but with a TREMOLO logo. That being said, getting a neck like that is quite difficult, but not impossible. I have a number of Tom Delonge Strat Replicas that I built, all have 69 stratocaster necks with tremolo logos.

I actually like the knob placement better on these than on the TDs. Congrats to you both on nabbing such rare guitars!

[@Gear182]

Yeah they are definitely in a comfortable spot

[@nicofreako182]

These are so beautiful! That would be awesome to hear these relics vs the old td strat and the newest release🤔🤔 Awesome video like always 🎉

[@Gear182]

We will post something forsure

[@mitchxc]

These are so damn cool!!

[@Gear182]

💯

[@Trauzzinator]

All you gotta do is change the pickguard or plug the hole and drill another hole to make it more Tom accurate!!! Why are people complaining???

[@Gear182]

😂 yeah someone will always find something to complain about. But it makes for a good discussion

[@lightfandango2955]

@gear182 Regarding your ones having a darker tone, check if Fender used a 250k volume pot - which they typically do, instead of a 500k pot like Tom’s

[@ches2]

Relic Padre would be sick

[@Gear182]

💯

[@Borax15]

3:20 those ones gives me mad mick mars vibes actually cuz of the relicing

[@samtaylor8019]

Artic white relic with black pearl pick guard and Seymour Duncan sh5.

[@Gear182]

Oh I like that!

[@kittysox8463]

These were super rad, but the price was so wild. Thorn isn’t at the custom shop anymore though.

[@Gear182]

Yeah the prices were kinda crazy

[@Mogs716]

These are sick and to be honest, people would complain about a wet dream 😂… just never satisfied lol

[@Gear182]

😂😂

[@markgibb45]

The guy from 90s Punk Rock Covers on yt has a graffiti yellow one very similar to these I think. No Invader.

[@griffindenbesten867]

Why does brians mic always sound so bad😭

[@thatbrianwallace]

Buy me a new one? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@shortymcsteve]

@@thatbrianwallacejust fix your gain to stop it clipping.

[@thatbrianwallace]

@@shortymcsteve thanks. I’ll work on it.

[@samtaylor8019]

I’m pretty sure it’s due to the compression of the video chat. Stefan is probably the one recording the video meaning it’s just recording Brian’s call

[@DaringDan]

These along with the Hammet Epis and the PRS Tele are my least favorite guitars of last year. Overpriced, under specced.

[@Gear182]

Yeah they were a lot when they first were released
