Tom Delonge Signature Fender

Toms custom shop Fender strats have a single Seymour Duncan Invader pickup, Sperzel Locking Tuners, large 70's headstock, a single chrome P-Bass volume knob with a 500k pot, and a black string guide. He uses an Ernie Ball strap and has .60mm Dunlop Tortex picks, and his guitars have Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom strings (.10-.52). He has Baritone Telecaster necks on his guitars with no finish on the back of the neck, while his nut is a Graphtech nut with microscopic lubricants in it. His guitar wireless system is a Shure U14D.

Red
Fender Strat that is tuned down 1 1/2 steps. I don't think it is a Sub-Sonic, although it might be and he just got a different headstock. It has 22 frets, unlike his other guitars.

Chrome Silver
Fender Strat that probably has taken the most abuse, if you look at the dents. Many times, this guitar was used to capo up to F#, but was also used to play songs in standard tuning.
