This Starcaster SLG RF is a unique beast – Tom's signature sound in a semi-hollow package. It’s built for players who dig that Blink-182 edge with a touch of warmth, and the roasted maple neck just feels fantastic. A solid choice for alternative rock and heavier styles where a bit of chime is desired.
