This guitar is the best guitar for my style of music. I play mostly punk/emo/screamo. You get a rich sound when you have distortion on it and you get a nice smooth tone when you play it clean.

Price paid: $ 499.99
Purchased from: Ken Stanton Music
Features: My guitar was made in August of 2010 in China, and it has 22 medium jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with a one ply-binding. The fretboard is adorned with Dot inlays and the neck has a 24-3/4" scale length. It features a 1960's slim-taper neck, but its still bigger than a Strat neck. The neck is mahogany and the back is not painted and allows for fast playing with little effort.
It has a maple/birch laminated top with an attractive cream racing stripe on a brown matte finish body. It has a Standard Gibson style hollow-body shape with cream binding all around.
The bridge is a Tune-o-matic, as is the stop bar. All the hardware is chrome, and I did notice a bit of "gunk", or some residue on the stopbar..
All the electronics are passive, and it features one lone volume control potentiometer, topped with a matching cream knob. Standard Epiphone jack sometimes gets loose, as does the volume knob, but I have already fixed this. It has one pickup, a Gibson made dirty fingers humbucker. Its a monster, and has massive output. It has a great dirty crunch more akin to old rock records than todays over processed, over compressed hard rock sound.
Standard Grover tuners, though it stays in tune fine. The Epiphone strap buttons seem fine with my Planet Waves strap. Also came with the usual accessories; A crappy cable, truss rod wrench, and a box. // 9
Sound: I play a lot of punk music, poppunk, rock, even metal and pop at times. This guitar covers all the bases and sounds great playing U2 or blink 182... The pickup is was a big factor in buying the guitar and it really is fantastic.
I have played it through a Peavey Vypyr 30 watt and it sounds great distorted or clean. I have also used it on a little amp that has a really dirty and rude sound and it plays ramones-Esq punk rock well.
Its pretty quiet, amazing considering its a pretty hot pup in a semi hollow instrument, but i dont get too close to my amp or really crank them up to 11 that often... very full sound, very bright highs and deep lows.
The sound it makes is varied and as long as its more distorted rock oriented music you're good. The cleans wont blow you away, but they aren't bad at all. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: Action- Low, Low, Low... Super fast, very good. A bit of buzz on the low "e", but I fixed that. Pickup- Sounds fine to me, with 12 pole pieces and height adjustment I don't wanna mess with it, it already sounds great! Craftsmanship- Overall really great. The knob and jack were a bit loose after a few hours, but thats normal. The bridge had some stuff that came off easily, not sure if this was factory or music stores fault. The nut has like a sliver of space more on one side than the other if you want to get picky. Everything is very well put together and is a caliber above my Epi Les Paul standard. // 9
Reliability & Durability: Seems tough, not a lot to break here, the hardware seems good, I play aggressively. Good strap buttons, for my strap anyway. If I was playing a gig at a coffee house I wouldn't bring a backup, but to a bigger gig I would bring one of my other 3 electrics. // 10
Impression: It matches my style perfectly. I have played around 3 years. I have an epi lp standard, this guitar, a homemade EVH Frankenstein strat, and a Peavey rockmaster. I also have 2 acoustics. I would get it again, and its fantastic. // 10

Features: This is the second guitar I bought, ordered it online, don't know which year or country it's from, but I'm gonna guess 2006 and Japan? It's a 22 Fretboard, rosewood. It's kinda fat neck, not the best neck for me since I have quite small hands, but it's kinda good to play anyway, I don't get tired hands on this neck! Hollowbody "ES" type, has a nice finish, the Bridge is a tune-o-matic and the tuners are really solid and nice. It just has one volume knob and one pick-up. It has the allmighty Gibson Dirty Fingers humbucker wich is by far the hottest and narliest pick-up ever made! // 8
Sound: I play alot of Punk/pop-punk/easycore, it suits my style perfect! It got that in your face sound. I use it with a Marshall JCM 2000, no pedals (just a tuner) and it sounds awesome! Too bad you can't use the guitar in a live or rehearsal-spot eviroment becouse of all the noise, it's a hollowbody so it will feed until the end of time! But in studio, or at home, you must search long to get a cooler sound than this guitar! I fell in love with the Dirty Fingers humbucker and I have it in almost every guitar, but it sounds best in this badboy, it's just bada-s! // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The action, the intonation and everything else was perfect when I got it! It was even tuned! The pickup was good, but I always higher/lower them to find the sweetspot. The only little complain is that the G string gets out of tune more easily than the other strings. But I heard that about other Gibson and Epiphone guitars! It was perfect! // 10
Reliability & Durability: I have used it live sometimes and it seems solid! Nothing to complain about. It seems very solid, nothing wrong with it! I don't use it live, have used it a few times but it gives to much feedback when your not playing! The finish scratches of fast, back of the guitar has a bit of scratches. // 9
Impression: I play alot of pop-punk/easycore stuff and for that IN A STUDIO OR AT HOME it's perfect! Not so perfect in a rehearsalspot or at a gig. I also own a Hagstrom Ultra Swede, a Feder Jag Stang and a little bit of pedals here and there. If it was stolen I would buy a new one, I love this guitar and I love tom delonge, it looks really good and its fun to have friends and stuff point at it and say "cool that's Tom Delonge". // 9

Sound: This guitar is terrible. Has no clean sound at all. Distortion is great if you are only looking for a pop punk guitar. I play it with a Marshall AVT150 half stack and the clean sound is jsut terrible. The Tom DeLonge Strat sounds 10x as good as this. // 3
Action, Fit & Finish: Action is pretty good. Not as good as most Gibsons. Finish is good on it. Only flaw really is the sound and the input gets loose. Its not Gibson quality. // 5
Reliability & Durability: This guitar will last. Playing live or just sitting at home. Comes with a nice hardshell fitted case. Strap buttons are good but, would replace with strap locks if you're playing shows. Because th strap tends to slip off because of the strap button location behind the guitar. // 7
Impression: Good for only one stlye of music. I play punk/emo/scremo/metal and about the only one this guitar is good for is pop punk. I've been playing for around 5 yrs now. If this guitar was lost or stolen I probly wouldn't waste the money again. If you like the look of the guitar get a ES-333 or ES-335 they sound way better. Or if you want the Tom Delonge name get the Fender Tom Strat as I said before the sound is way better and will do more type of styles. This is the worse Gibson I've ever played. // 4

Price paid: £ 350
Purchased from: GuitarGuitar
Features: Gig bag - Loads of pockets, very useful. Strap - Hasn't broken in 2 years. // 10
Sound: - Amp - Marshall MG Series 10CD
- Lead - Venom Professional Noiseless Instrument Cable with 90° jack. (Very good)
- Pedal - Boss ME-25 (amazing pedal)
- Clean tones - amazing sound, very jazzy.
- Distortion - again, a fantastic sound, very "punky" (as it should be)
- Effects - sounds very good with effects such as delay, reverb, wah, etc.
- Pickup - Gibson Dirty Fingers Humbucker x1 - The best I've ever used. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The action of the guitar was very well set up on my guitar. Loved the factory strings, not sure what they were. Currently using Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom strings. - Sounds excellent. My only minor concern was the it was matte and after some use it becomes shiny from where you rest your hand. Looks good though, not too bothered. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I've played it on stage a few times and I've had no problems. // 10
Impression: Style of music - Rock/Punk, Jazz, Metal, Blues. Playing time - 2008-present. "Can I have the Gibson version for this price?" (£350). If stolen - Buy a new one. Love - sounds and playability. Hate - Nothing Favourite Feature - Pickups. Compared this to the ES-335, I preferred the ES-333. // 10

Price paid: $ 500
Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: Made in China, 22 medium Jumbo frets with a laminated maple/birch top. I like the size of the frets, but wish there were 24, the neck is pretty skinny, which I like. The Finish is brown, with a cream stripe running down the middle. Its very unique, and I haven't seen any brown guitars other than this.
It's basically an ES-335 with a Locktone Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tail piece. Also it has grover tuners that lock, my G string (ha) likes to drop a little low, but the rest stay in tune a long time. It only has a volume control, which is all I need, the rest I use the pedals I have for.
The big thing it has is a Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup. It has just one, but it sounds great, and really accepts effects. // 8
Sound: I play a lot of punk, and alternative, mostly my own stuff. But I've covered everything from muse to dashboard confessional with this. Obviously it plays Blink-182 and Angels And Airwaves easily.
I use a Crate amp, and have a DigiTech RP-250 or 200, not too sure. I can make all sorts of awesome sounds, and the guitar is able to handle them all easily. Even with a direct feed into the amp it sounds very nice. Also the guitar is semi-hollow, so you can go without an amp. However, it's a little noisy, since its a semi hollow. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: The action is the best I've ever had on a guitar. Nice and low. The pick-up was ready to go, as was everything else. The only problem would be the grover tuner on the g-string, although even that is better than other guitars I've played. The Finish was perfect, no smudges or scratches, and no other flaws were noticed. // 9
Reliability & Durability: It is a very light guitar, surprisingly, given it's size. Also, since it has one pick-up and knob, little can go wrong with the guitar, and for the 10 months I've had it, nothing has. My strap is very heavy for a strap, and it does tend to fall of when I'm sitting, or if I put the guitar behind my back. However, it does not fall off when I'm just standing and playing. I wouldn't use a back-up guitar bringing this one, and if I did, it would just be another ES-333.
My only negative comment on this is the finish, since it is fairly matte, I can see the matte finsih wearing off and becoming shiny. // 8
Impression: I play a mixture of punk, space, and alternative rock. This guitar feels made for what I play, I've been playing 19 months now, and this guitar helped make me a lot better. If someone stole this guitar, I would buy another one, simply cause of the uniqueness that signature models have.
What I love: The finish, the action, the shape, f holes, semi-hollow, the thin neck, grover tuners, and pick-up.
What I hate: my strap has trouble staying on, its got a bit of feedback.
I was either going to buy this or a Fender Jaguar. I chose this because it was 200$ cheaper, and the guitar seems very unused by most people. Its the best guitar I've had, and that I've played, and is perfect for someone who wants a different guitar, that still rocks. // 9

Price paid: € 500
Purchased from: Waltons
Features: This guitar is a semi-hollow body. It has 22 medium jumbo frets. The body is made from laminated Maple, the fretboard is rosewood with white Dot inlays, and a mahogany neck. The hardware is chrome, and the guitar has a stoptail bridge. Of course, you have the two f-holes, and one volume knob for that Dirty Fingers pickup. And Tom's signature on the back of headstock is pretty cool too. // 9
Sound: I play a million and one styles. For the purpose of this review, I'll talk about punk, hardcore, blues etc. I play this guitar, usually, through a Fender Frontman 25R. I also mess around with a Boss-ME50 pedal.
The guitars tone is pretty sweet. It's a rich sound, and the bite out of it is really tasty. Of course, this was built for the kind of music Tom makes, but that doesn't mean it's a one trick pony. It's got a real bite to it, which I love. I use Ernie Ball Slinky Top Heavy Bottom strings, because I love getting a chunky sound out of it when I'm palm muting or riffing it up. I also down tune a lot. I can definitely use this for more then just pop-punk. My band plays a lot of post-hardcore stuff, and this stands up to the challenge. It is a guitar that is meant to be played loud.
It annoys me when people say it has "no" clean sound. That's a lie, the clean stands up perfectly well, even if it is still a bit dirty. It's not "glassy" (really bright), and you don't have the option of switching to another pick up to get a jazzy kind of tone. But it's a cool, crunchy kind of sound, which is different. And I like different. // 8
Action, Fit & Finish: I had been saving up for this guitar for a while, and paying it off in installments, so by the time I got to it, the guys in the store knew me and had set it up perfectly for me. Because it was brand new, everything came perfectly. I haven't really needed to change anything since, except for checking the intonation every so often, the saddles etc.
It's easy to play, the actions not too high. I had an Ibanez SA before this guitar, and while the action on that was lower, I started having a bit of trouble with fret buzz, and the neck was an awful lot wider too. This suits me down to the ground, and there's been no problems at all with it so far. // 10
Reliability & Durability: This guitar is made for rocking, and is a tough axe. It's a lot lighter then I expected it to be when I first picked it up, but it's a solid guitar, and has withstood a few encounters with very very little damage. I wouldn't really feel the need to bring a back up guitar to a gig with this in my hands. // 9
Impression: Overall, I love this guitar, and although I do sometimes miss the versatility of the Ibanez, I would probably buy another one if it got lost, stolen or broke.
I wouldn't recommend having this as your one and only axe. It's nice to have a bit of variety. But my god, it does it's job well. I love the comfort of playing it, I love the vicious bite out of it, and apart from all of that, it just looks so damn cool as well. I went out with the intention of buying this guitar, and from the first time I picked it up, I was sold. // 8

all of you who have never played it but like toms sound live you have to remember that its also toms amps and he uses ALOT of amps so don't get this guitar because you like his live sound because you wont get that sound unless you use his amps

do u kno who deserves a signature guitar... Chris Cheney!! he is one of the best guitarists i've ever seen and he just doens't get enuf credit 4 it
Christ, that thing looks like they've painted it in sports-car colours & let it sit in either old beer or a case stuffed with used tea-bags - OK, so at the time they released it, he was a popular player, but This is like giving Tony Iommi a bloody Gretsch or a Rickenbacker - Just not the right crowd. The squier was a good idea, maybe an upgraded Fender version, but not this
stop bagging on tom, just because you tools dont like his music, and just because you say he doesnt deserve a signature guitar doesnt make it true. id like to see you all go out there and be as successful as he has been, and is still being.

yeah he put a seymour duncan invader in it
actually no he didnt, he uses the rare "Dirty Fingers" pick-ups by Gibson...they sound the same as the invader, but a bit more distorted. I see where u you were gettibg at.

very true... but in everyone elses defence as well he does have shitty rifts! who puts anthem part 2's rift in everything's magic with an extra note its stupid
give_ em hell
i do see what ur saying about the copying riffs but i wouldnt say they are shitty. i think some of them are really good and id be damn proud to say i made those.
btw gonna buy this guitar soon! hope its good. n tom DOES deserve signature guitars
I actually like this. I love 333's and 335's but the 333s are more practical. I love the Dirty Fingers pickups, and I actually DO like the color scheme. The only thing that turns me off about this is how versatile it ISNT. Like other's have said, it's not for everyone. And that's fair. Thats sort of the purpose of a "signature" guitar.
If I had an ES series (besides my '57 125) I'd most definitly have '57's in it. If I had 2 I'd probably throw in a Dirty Fingers just because it DOES sound cool, but it loses it's hollowbody feel imo.
In reality, everyone who bashes Tom for having signature guitars, it's simply just jealousy. You all think you're such hot shit with your arpeggios and Dimebag Dean's. The fact is, you're not, and you probably haven't written some of the most catchy songs in recent history. His parts are simple, but there's no denying they're good. He turns stuff that most people are afraid to play in fear that they wont look 'cool' into actual, good songs. Simplicity is in some cases the key.
the guitar has unique sounds i think. a little bit of classic touch. maybe tom wants it that way. besides, this is a signature guitar. i like the sound and the look of it, although don't listen to tom's music too much.
btw, could you guys "tom haters" just stop acting like a bitch. i mean, he is a sloppy guitar player. it's an amazing thing with that kinda playing he got sig guitar. but he is a good musician. goof ideas in music that others couldn't think. good rifts, and many peole love it. it wasn't his playing skills that made him deserves that sig but his creativity.
i'm a pure metalheads my self but i don't enjoy dissin' people just because their playing a little bit under your standard or whatsoever. so, just grow up will you..

Yeah, I saw Start The Machine(AVA Documentary) and the One he plays has an invader in it.
In the Booklet for I-empire you can see there is one with an Invader in it too.
sounds like the last 2 posters knew each other. the guy who plays for 5 years says it sucks but the 2 year old noob player says it rocks...hmmm i think ill take the 5 year players word over the 2 year players.
now...im a HUGE blink and ava fan. i love the sound of the ES guitars but i dont like the humbuckers...i love open coils. this is the perfect guitar for fans of blink or someone wanting a nice alternative to the typical ES guitar. i always wanted a tom delonge signature but it was too expensive. the gibson pickup gives so much high-gain punk tone. the semi-hollow design gives a perfect effect tone. the tone is perfect with distortion, the feel is amazing and comfortable..its good for everything dealing with punk and the new-age scene AWESOME
ya well, sure the guitar sounds amazing, but i think most of the good sound is coming from the mesa amps he's using

hi, i want a new guitar i have a epiphone les paul buth i just cant choos between two ****ing awsome guitars the tom delonge es-333 and the tom delonge stratocaster can someone help me ?
What gives? This guitar has ONE pickup. The first reviewer needs to stop buying things on impulse. I can't otherwise understand how a player of 5 years would buy a guitar he obviously doesn't like unless he bought it without trying it first which is a noob mistake, not something someone with experience would do. Reviews on UG are nothing to go by it seems. I've just finished my third review that has either blatant mistakes or outright lies in it. As far as buying an ES series guitar goes i'd recomend the ES-339. It's a shrunk 335, just bigger than a Les Paul, which i found much more comfortable and managable to play but still has the ES-335 sound.

yeah he put a seymour duncan invader in it
do your research, he put the invader in the strat. not the es 333, he has a dirty fingers in it. he CUSTOMIZED the guitar himself. and theres a video about it, they brought back that pickup FOR HIM.

very true... but in everyone elses defence as well he does have shitty rifts! who puts anthem part 2's rift in everything's magic with an extra note its stupid
yeah but its still his riff and he can do anything he wants with it
it's fine on clean. do you even have the guitar? It's better than your piece of fender crap. Have you seen what the ES-333 was able to do? Ya kno tom doesn't only play punk, listen to AVA. You God damn hatters, i have the guitar, both the epiphone and gibson one. And it's amazing. For those who are interested, buy it, these guys have no idea what they're talking about. But, do buy the one from Epiphone, alot cheaper and sounds just as great.
This Gibson has the lowest rating out of the Epiphone, Fender and Squier lol
This isn't a Gibson and I think Gibson gets lower ratings because the guys that review it can review the guitars. Almost everybody who reviews a Squier or Epiphone or some other starter guitar is a beginner. And they rate their guitar a 10. But if you have a Gibson then you know if the guitar has something you don't like and how it compares to other guitars. Most guitars are reviewed by beginners who have just bought the guitar and they don't take time writing the review.
I own Gibsons, American Fenders and many others by I tour with Custom Epiphone Sheratons with Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pick ups. I bought this to be my beat-up guitar when I play live and I'm now buying my second as a back up. This sounds very good live. I have an Edge-style pedalboard and Traynor all tube 50-watt head with a celestion v30 4x12. Guitar cleans are a little more dirty/crunchy than usual but that's how I like it.
