why does Tom Delonge command so much marketshare?

My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I bet this one sounds great too. It's in essence a stripped down single PU 335 wound extra hot. He tore up a Taylor on TV the other day. I can't support people that smash nice guitars. I'm sure he's nice and all but than made me cry.

    i'm sorry but it looks like a bucket of smashed assholes. and it'll sell for $3000US. how many fucking blink fans have $3000 to spend on a guitar? and when they do, why would they spend it on one so limited in range.

    I thought it looked more like a fancy miniature chocolate with a light cream topping...

    It is ugly an ugly as piss color. Looks like a bad andes mint.

    It's a Gibson Memphis 333 with one p/u. It's not worth over about $1000

    The DeLonge Strat is pretty cheap, I have a feeling they'll keep the price on this one down a bit, too... it'll be spendy, being a hollow-body Gibson, but it won't be as high as Lucille...

    It is gawd-aweful ugly...

    I hate blink 182. i can't find a more useless band than them. whiney voices, sucky power chords, no solos. It's so damn boring. Can you say "four chord wonder" because i can!

    Bastards...anyway, that guitar doesn't look that great, and the delonge strat sucks too

    I've shit things that looked better than that guitar.
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I kinda like the guitar, but hell I'm a drummer. Even if Blink's music is not that good, I've got immense respect for Travis Barker. I think he's just amazing behind the skins....

    The signature strat is a piece of junk... no offense to anyone that plays it but c'mon I'm sure the blurb from Fender when they came out included "who needs more than one pickup?"

    looks crap, just like Blink sounds. Why do it? hes got fender, which is more than he should have.

    Not a big Blink fan at all. Whoever got inot the about the 4 chord thing, no solos etc was dead right. Simple, repetive stuff.

    I have a custom Tele with a single pickup. I love it. I always use the bridge pickup when I play distorted, so what's the problem?

    My tele I use the bridge pick up most of the time, but sometimes I have it in the middle position. But rarely in neck.
