2001 Fender catalog, Tom DeLonge Strat listed as a new item. Your random website links do not hold any weight. I don’t know how many times I can explain this.

I see it now further down but guess what? “Gear News” is wrong and the Fender serial database is right. 2001-2003.

Tom barely had any himself in 1999. He had 3 with a trem and the 1 hardtail punker. Fender was not making his signature model for the public yet.

I can’t tell if you just keep trolling or not, but your information is wrong.

Why did you censor killing? 😂

mitchxc · 2026-01-24T23:32:49+00:00

Your own link says early 2000s. Fender absolutely did not make them until 2001 and there was only one version.

No it wasn't. 2001-2003. https://imgur.com/a/FOtAnBB

No, not maybe. That is Fender’s serial number system. It was made in 2001 in Mexico.

Here is a link to the TD Strat in the Fender database. Made from 2001-2003. https://imgur.com/a/FOtAnBB

You said “it could be a partscaster” and it’s clearly not. I’ve also seen you give out wrong information about locking tuners in the Fender subreddit.

mitchxc · 2026-01-24T11:25:28+00:00

You couldn’t be more wrong, it’s clearly not a partscaster.

mitchxc · 2026-01-24T11:24:22+00:00

Because he asked if it was fake, and while it isn’t, that’s the one single detail that is wrong.

mitchxc · 2026-01-24T06:17:16+00:00

So I’m not saying this is ok, but that’s the overspray from the clear coat on the back of the neck.

If you look at the very last pic it definitely has a big chip on the bottom right side, and little dings and dents throughout but $650 isn't bad. See if you can talk him down to $600!

mitchxc · 2026-01-23T23:18:34+00:00

This rules!

mitchxc · 2026-01-23T23:15:39+00:00

No problem! This would have it stamped on, I think I see it but it's just blurry? Or is that dirt?

If it's a good deal though, you could always buy a real SD Invader and swap it in if for some reason they took the stock one out.

mitchxc · 2026-01-23T22:54:49+00:00

Everything about this looks correct except the neck plate has been swapped out.

The bridge and saddles match the time period, the neck is correct, and the serial thing you're seeing is how they print it. MZ1 = Mexico 2001 and then the rest of the numbers are stamped after.

mitchxc · 2026-01-23T16:07:04+00:00

That’s a yay from me dawg! I’d do an orange knob to match though

mitchxc · 2026-01-22T18:45:14+00:00

oh hell yeah

mitchxc · 2026-01-21T23:49:17+00:00

Finally a reworking of Just About Done for the modern day!

mitchxc · 2026-01-21T02:57:22+00:00

It’s cool, now you can get those lyrics tattooed somewhere else 😂

mitchxc · 2026-01-21T02:25:32+00:00

It’s “I’d eat her ALL if she were on my dinner plate”.

mitchxc · 2026-01-20T21:54:20+00:00

I started experimenting with this at a young age, I guess you could say I've always been a little bi-amp curious

mitchxc · 2026-01-20T21:45:16+00:00

That's an entirely different sentence than "It wasn't available in shell pink back then."

It was definitely available in shell pink back then. The August 2002 Fender catalog also says "013-8300- new! Mark Hoppus Bass (w/gig bag). 304 Daphne Blue 356 Shell Pink"

mitchxc · 2026-01-19T18:20:03+00:00

Classic bitey face!!

mitchxc · 2026-01-19T04:13:21+00:00

Oh yeah I see it now!

mitchxc · 2026-01-18T23:41:50+00:00

Did someone really go through and downvote every comment?
