The Blink-182 guitarists signature is a semi-hollow guitar that features a streamlined control setup, modern "C" neck, and Fender locking tuners for tuning stability. Initially released in the ‘70s to offer versatile sounds for players, DeLonge was drawn to the Starcaster only recently, with him first using it on stage in 2022. Its infamy was quick and fast, with die-hard fans of this punk icon rushing to modify their own Squier Starcaster guitars at home into makeshift replicas of the instrument, unable to wait until this official signature release. “I love this guitar, I really do. It’s t ..read more

But while you can certainly use these combined effects to stoke Jimi-style fire (and ..read more

In sound reinforcement, we can equalize the response of a PA in a room with less than ideal resonances. These resonances add or subtract energy from the PA output and present an uneven response to the audience ..read more
