I'm a big fan of Blink 182, and when I first saw Tom Delonge play this piece of art I started drooling and wanted one. I finally came across this guitar on amazon and saw the price and decided it was a good deal for a guitar like this. The guitar is very light, due to its semi-hollow body, which is nice. The design and color is beautiful. The sound is pretty impressive when hooked up to an amp with distortion on, and it sounds pretty good even when playing clean. If you like Blink 182 and want a fun guitar to play, you should get this guitar. Very beautiful and fun to play.

Overview: I am a Huge Blink-182 fan and this guitar is awesome. Even if you are their biggest fan this guitar still sounds cool.

Ease of use: There is one knob, it can't get much easier!

Sound: There is one hum-buckle pickup which gets ride of all other sound leaving just the tone of the guitar. there is one knob on the guitar and that is the volume knob. The semi hollow body gives the guitar a more distorted sound naturally and if you listen to the song Rock Show by Blink-182 that is essentially what the guitar sounds like with its volume almost all the way up. With the volume down from 1-3 the distortion disappears leaving a nice sounding warm tone.

Look: Well I think it looks pretty cool personally. There is no pick guard but the strings are high off the pickup so it really isn't needed. The wood is all polished and looks great.

The one thing about this guitar I do not like is the strap placement. The strap placement makes the guitar unbalanced to the point that if you let go with the fretting hand it will tip significantly. But other than that this a very cool somewhat versatile guitar. If you like rock and punk you will like playing this guitar.

You cant imagine the look on his face when he opened this for his 16th birthday. He is a huge Blink 182 & Angels & Airwaves fan. This was perfect! It sounds great too.
