Epiphone Tom DeLonge Signature Semi Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Brown)
Built to the Blink-182 guitarist’s specifications, the new semi-hollow body combines traditional ES construction and styling with the high-output tone and crunch of a Gibson USA Dirty Fingers™ humbucking pickup. Blink-182 has a unique sound that is instantly recognizable and this guitar is that sound. Fans of Tom and Blink will immediately understand it. Like most traditional ES guitars, the Tom Delonge ES-333 features a laminated Maple top, back and sides with a solid Mahogany center block. This now legendary semi-hollow body design allows for a combination of solid-body sustain and acoustic-like resonance that has become associated over the years with many legendary performers including Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton and B. B. King. However, Tom’s guitar takes a different direction with the installation of only one very high-output humbucking pickup mounted in the bridge position that is capable of producing unprecedented distortion yet excellent clarity at high volumes. Combining the high-energy Dirty Fingers pickup with a traditional semi-hollow body guitar was not the original intention when the pickup was developed. But, like many successful ideas, good things often happen unexpectedly and such is the result of this combination. In addition to a “non standard” pickup controlled by only one volume knob, the Tom Delonge sports a non-traditional cream colored racing stripe down the center on a brown body. A natural finished, Mahogany neck with a glued-in neck joint is attached to the body at the 17th fret and includes a Rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl “dot” inlays. Sustain, tone and tuning stability are maintained by Epiphone’s new LockTone™ tune-o-matic/stopbar system and precision Grover™ machine heads. Tom’s signature graces the back of the headstock.
