Don't diss the strat... it sounds absolutely amazing for punk/metal/rock or anything where the gain knob is cranked.... it has awesome distorted tones with a distinct tight bottom end and a very nice twangy gritty clean... plus its a string through so it has more sustain than a normal strat and better tuning stability. People give it a bad rep for being a Tom Delonge signature, but guitarist have been making this same guitar for years and years he just happened to like it and have fender release it.
Yeah I think people have a problem with the name rather than the make. Tom Delonge is not a rated guitarist, he's simply A guitarist....
However, I don't doubt that the guitar is probably great for rhythm
