Thomas DeLonge's Gear
In this photo Tom shows off a version of his signature Fender Starcaster. This is one of the first Starcasters Tom received from Fender after rejoining Blink-182. The guitar is in a very light, almost white looking shell pink finish. Tom customized the guitar by adding stickers from some of his favorite bands. The guitar resembles the sticker strat, and the box car racer 335 that tom played previously

An Alesis Micron is seen just to the left of Tom’s head on a coffee table in Tom’s studio.
A Moog Little Phatty Stage II is seen to the right of Tom (above for the viewer). The 4 knobs give it away as a Little Phatty of one version or another.
Tom is playing a Yamaha Motif XS7 in his studio. Note: the lowest key is an E, so certainly a Yamaha Motif 7-series. Also of note: the generally grey housing of the keyboard and the 8 dark sliders …this means definitively the Yamaha XS7 since the Yamaha Motif 7 and Motif ES7 have 4 sliders and both have a lighter grey than this while the Motif XF7 is nearly black paint all over.
Tom posted this picture of his studio with his Korg Kronos X 61 seen to the left of his Roland synthesizer.
In this photo, you can a pack of Ernie Ball Light Gauge Nickel Wound Guitar Strings on top of Thomas Delonge’s Gibson ES-333.
Ernie Ball themselves say Tom uses the Medium Light strings, which are 12-54.
