Michael Murphy Contributing Member In Memoriam..... Shine on, CrazyDiamond	Mar 25th, 2003 09:44 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic At least the Squier version is still there- I don't know about the US one. It seems weird that they would pull it right at the first of the year and just after the Frontline mag came out. Maybe the webpage is just being worked on?
gidoc Contributing Member Milwaukee, WI	Mar 26th, 2003 09:12 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic The USA version is still on the webpage and on the pricelist as well. Part #018-8200-. link to website below. Edited for spelling TD Strat Web Listing (This message was last edited by gidoc at 09:13 PM, Mar 26th, 2003)

Morgan Ringwald - Fender Contributing Member Herbivores Ate Well 'Cause Their Food Didn't Ever Run	Mar 27th, 2003 11:35 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Guys, Here's the deal: We will be discontinuing the Tom D. Strat in the near future ... kinda sorta. Right now, Tom is playing a number of different guitars on stage and in the studio. He also happens to be a heck of a nice guy, and doesn't want to make us mad by having a signature guitar while playing somebody else's during part of his show. Integrity. So, Tom's deal with us just ended (on paper), and he decided that the respectable thing to do would be to not pursue renewing it. We all agree, it's a classy decision. Now, we WILL make Strats with big headstocks, a single Invader and volume knob, it just won't have Tom's name on it. Right now, we are able to use his likeness to finish selling what we already have in inventory, but once that's all sold, we will take Tom's guitar off of our site and out of our advertising. What you noticed with fender.com was premature, and we put the page and the guitar back up. M-
SooperRad I Don't Know	Mar 27th, 2003 07:03 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic So there will be a guitar just like it, but no name association?
Ian Hurtt USA Hershey Bars=the Elixir of Life	Mar 28th, 2003 06:33 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I know this is nitpicking, but you are talking about the MIM version? I didn't think there ever was a USA version...
kshep Contributing Member * San Francisco, CA	Mar 28th, 2003 06:38 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Maybe you could have a 'Name the Tom Delonge Artist Model' contest every year or two. Something for aspiring young single bucker/single volume players to aspire to. You could put the winner's sig on the guitar, put their picture in Frontline, give them free gear...
Mark Jacobs Contributing Member ** FDPGF: Connecticut Pardon My French	Mar 29th, 2003 04:30 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Would it be too much to ask you guys at Fender to drop a tone pot somewhere? I like the look and I like Invader but need a little more tonal variation.
bandmister USA, NY	Mar 29th, 2003 10:09 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Tom D's name will NOT be on the guitar? Now I WILL buy one. cool.
Valvestater MI, USA ~Valvestater, all tubes, all the time...	Mar 30th, 2003 10:36 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Mark Jacobs, buy a Standard Strat, do some work on it. Or get a fat strat, and put the invader in it. That would be pretty cool. Yeah i've noticed lately tom switches left and right, i saw him playing on a guild on tv the other day. Then i saw him playing on a gibson. Yeah i don't think tom likes that guitar that much, what about that black strat he is playing right now that could work.
Jonzer66 Virginia Buying ink by the gallon.	Mar 31st, 2003 12:23 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Tom's getting older and I'm sure he appreciates some diversity. Not everybody can be a Malcolm Young and play the same guitar for 40 years.
SooperRad I Don't Know	Mar 31st, 2003 05:17 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic The guitars he's using now are all modded: only 1 Invader and 1 volume work on all of them.
Valvestater MI, USA ~Valvestater, all tubes, all the time...	Mar 31st, 2003 07:30 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Yeah his work with box car sound much different than blink stuff. So that must be the reason for the switch.
SooperRad I Don't Know	Apr 8th, 2003 05:54 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic The reason the boxcar racer stuff sounds really different is he used different amps, not his Triple Rectifier. At that point, he was still using Fenders almost exclusively.
boroman Poland =w=	Jun 10th, 2003 01:35 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic yeah he used Hiwatt, Mesa and other (i don't remember). He split it together and that's the sound of it. Anyway, he will have Gibson TomDelonge Model (ES-333) and it will have a number TD-333. It will be out in Sepmtember this year. And this is probably the main reason why Fender and Tom deleted their contract.
Stratguy Contributing Member Southwestern Ohio Immoderator	Jun 11th, 2003 12:00 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic A GIBSON Tom DeLonge? Is that a joke? Someone tell me this is a joke. Tom
Stratguy Contributing Member Southwestern Ohio Immoderator	Jun 11th, 2003 12:01 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic So, just to clarify: If I buy a Les Paul, will my Fender signature Strat be discontinued? In the name of integrity? Crap. Tom
Morgan Ringwald - Fender Contributing Member Fenderica Don't Partially Hydrogenate Me	Jun 11th, 2003 05:31 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Don't know about a Sig. model Gibson, but that has nothing to do with why we no longer make a Tom D. model with his name on it. If the Gibson thing is true, good for Tom, I guess. He's a very cool guy and we like him regardless. M-
SooperRad I Don't Know	Aug 11th, 2003 10:25 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Yeah the Gibson sig is coming out pretty quick...even though there wasn't one at NAMM.
