This Starcaster is a really interesting hybrid – part hollow body, part solid. Tom Delonge's signature sound shines through with that Custom SH5 pickup, perfect for modern alternative rock and pop-punk. It’s surprisingly versatile, though, and a great option for players wanting a unique aesthetic and feel.
