      @@Giant_Guitars yeah but it has a plain white pickguard. I want to change it to Pearl Lloyd and do some customization on it but I just got it a few months ago and haven't played it much so I want to get a feel for it first before I start messing with it because right now it's really nice

    I love this so much, I have 2 Delonges, one surf green other graffiti yellow, and I have a deep admiration for SpongeBob. Which may seem weird since I’m 29 years old but I can’t help but admire how timeless SpongeBob is, it’ll never not be funny, and it did so without any dirty/vulgar/negative humor.

    I've been a Blink 182 for around 13 years at this point, and a Spongebob fan since I watched it as a kid in the early 2000s and honestly I never expected watching content of this quality on YT, I never expected to want a Bob Delonge Spongecaster because I didn't even knew this magnum opus could exist until today

    I had a Tom Delonge before there was a Tom DeLonge. I converted my 1983 Fernandes Stratocaster into a 1 humbucker guitar and I used the invader. I was able to purchase a one humbucker pickguard.

      @@stringlocker have a ‘94 MIM I whimsically (and somewhat drunkenly) painted it like Buck Owens’ Telecaster, and it had a succession of single humbuckers on a pearloid pick guard for a long time. (Gibson 490T, EMG 85, Duncan Distortion, Duncan Invader, Super Distortion, yada yada yada. It’s since had S-S-P90 setup for quite a while, but I’m thinking of going just P90, I never play the singles. I have to say, though, the middle single/P90 combo does that in between-Mark Knopfler quack better than just about anything else. I am not, however, Mark Knopfler.

    Now that Tom is back with Fender, it is rumored that they are going to rerelease the old strat signature. Might be able to get a yellow TD strat in a few months! The used 2000s models will tank in price also if that happens. Just some food for thought.

      I also heard this. There was one particular big guitar store released them for pre-order online and quickly took them down after they messed up 😂😂 that paired with the paint cracks has changed this from being a guitar to put away and keep good to my guitar to mess with 😁😁

      @@Giant_Guitars I support modding what you have to what you want. It will make you play it more. Also I’m guessing the new strats will have a paoferro board like the new hoppus basses they made. That seems to be the way things are going.

    If you don't follow through on the idea of a DIY refinish AND the Graffiti Yellow color, you will forever wonder what it would have been like to do it yourself.
