- tl;dr basically, i knew these werent going to be amazing replica's but... i was hopeful because i love the original guitar design so much. but this is a travesty. multiple flaws that i just can't overlook. and believe it or not i was actually more excited for the item itself than the autograph. so yeah... bummed. EDIT. I was able to return them so any offers to purchase them will be ignored

Gear I use:
Guitar: changes by the video. i use a lot of fender, and gibson. but feel free to ask specifics.
Pickups: all of my guitars use different pickups depending on what suits them but i will say Bare Knuckle Pickups are my favorite and preferred brand. feel free to ask specifics
Amps: Fractal AxeFX 2 for the guitar tone on my covers, lessons, and original music . i almost always use Orange AD30 presets but sometimes some Friedman, Soldano and others sneak in.. i dont typically use real amps anymore. certainly not in my videos just for convenience.
Strings: 9-46 are my main string gauge for fenders. i'll use 10-52 on Gibsons typically. i tend to flip flop between Ernie Ball and D'addario.
Picks: i tend to use .73mm Tortex but i'll use .60mm for faster strumming songs or for Bass guitar.
DAW: Reaper for all my recording software. - เพลง
It looks like someone tried to make a birthday cake TD strat.
Thanks for the heads up man. Canceled immediately.
I knew these were gonna be a disaster when they used a photo of him playing the metallic blue strat. You know...the wrong guitar lol
Tom shouldn't have signed these. We live in a shity world when we love his legacy more than he does.
I think he hates to be known as a blink 182 (jokey band) member when he wants to get into secret governmental stuff and since Ava has been more a spiritual project and lifestyle for him he basically uses blink fans to grab a few bucks with pretty much no hassle.. you can see that when he was performing for blink , sounded like he hadn't had a single rehearsal before the gig.
I have been thinking about this comment a lot this morning (bit weird, I know) and you are 100% correct. I genuinely couldn’t have put it better.
I definitely cancelled my order and got my money back. What makes me most upset about it isn’t even the crappy quality. It’s that Tom signed each one and didn’t have any issue sending them to people. PS. I love the new song clip. I’ll use my returned money to buy your new album instead hah.
If I’m being honest, I’ve never seen a high quality mini guitar. Every single one I’ve seen is as crappy as that
Neither have I but the amount of silly mistakes is upsetting. Just no attention to detail. The very few details this guitar actually has. Shouldve been easy
Tom needs to address this.
What's the song title on the ending?
I just emailed them to cancel. That looks like absolute trash.
It looks like a guitar you would get in a kinder egg or cereal box lol
What’s the scale length on this please?
Damn, best part of the video was your new song in the outro. Really dogged it!! I’m excited to listen to your new album! Keep killing’ it!
I was pretty pumped about them announcing these, but definitely noticed that the product pictured was the actual Fender Signature. Still have my Daphne Blue from 2001!
Yeah i was appalled by how bad mine looked, i emailed them asking if there was even a certificate of authenticity because it looked so bad people would think it was fake
damn i thought this was gonna be a jokey video like “it can’t stay tuned. the pickups are awful,”
Hey Jon, could you please tell me the weight of the Tom Delonge Dude Ranch era Les Paul? Would appreciate a lot!!! Thank you very much. Rock on, Chris
No i can't
@@littleredguitars2 Oh, is there any reason why? You said that it's heavy but what means heavy? 4.5kg, 5kg, 3.8kg? Mmmh. Did you sold the LP? Thank you for any help.
Yup sold it.
@@littleredguitars2 Ok, thank you. Long time ago or just recently? Didn't get this by following your channel. BTW these AXE Heaven "things" are really rubbish by own experience. But Tom had several Strats with Tremolo/Invader. So this model with the back trem cover is not so much the wrong way but the bridge had to be more detailed as a trem and no hardtail. Such a Strat Tom played and showed in the Pursuit documentation. I think you already knew this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Have great weekend man. Ch
eers, Chris
@@littleredguitars2 One last question Jon. Could you please tell me the year of manufacturing of this LP? Looks like mid- to end 90s. Thank you very much for any help. Cheers, Chris
Isn’t the back silver plate also supposed to have his name on it ?
When I heard replica I thought these were aliexpress replicas of the miniature guitar. The fact that this is genuine is insane.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing!
Since there's a backing plate, I guess they were designing based off the prototype version of his signatures lol.
Thank God I saved these money, and I just got an original yellow strat unplayed since 2004 and still new
That outro song sounds sick
No problem IMO. Still will keep it unopened
I bet ya these will fetch hundreds of bucks on eBay soon enough. Some Tom bot will buy it
man I get that maybe making a tiny invader is hard, but can they like, I don't know.. Put it in straight? Btw new music sounds great. That tone is gold.
Was there a shipment notification?
Yes
Ahh damn, I was looking forward to this turning up but at the at nearly $85 before paying for it coming to the UK on top of that, I’m gonna have to cancel. What a shame.
I bought one miniture of this brand few years ago and I was very disapointed as well.
seu canal é legal, vc toca igual ao Tom, me lembrou a adolescência. um dia vou tocar com voçê, Subcrito new ^^ abraço, legal pra caralho.
They clearly took a regular strat mini model and made a poorly-designed custom pick guard on it.
I just built a warmoth version of a single Humbucker fender Strat with a string through hard tail body with a tune-o-matic bridge. It’s a great design for a strat.
The sharpie on the back of the neck ahahahah
If it’s through “to the stars academy” it’s a scam. Period. It’s so sad that he let himself get taken advantage of by those people. I really hope he didn’t sink any of his own money into that project.
What is the outro song? The song is awesome :o
An original song of mine that's yet to be released
Can't wait for it to be release 👍👍 keep it up mate 👍 the sound of that music is awesome 👍 love it
Thanks a lot
After seeing this and the photos/vids Allan put up, I’ve emailed to cancel my order. Thankfully hasn’t shipped yet, probably because I’m in the UK, so fingers crossed for a straightforward cancel and refund.
Can’t believe the errors and poor quality of these. Like you, I’ve seen loads of mini replicas over the years, and they never look quite right, but this is a different level, especially given the price and the photos/description they used to sell these in the first place.
It is a lot of money but I’d be super stoked to one of these and the back plate is so minor to me
Video was great! Song was badass!
Damn that’s a bummer
Looking at the close up shits it seems every aspect of the miniature is a mess like it was done with a hangover .. but I’ve always been happy with my axe heaven guitars, plus look at their site and they usually the best .. not sure what happened with this run
I got one and wasnt too upset by it. The signature was the most important part for me I suppose. Just a cool collectors item but you make all good valid points! Absolutely false advertising . I was only watching the big day out 2000 set the other day and noticed a back plate on the silver strat he was playing
Man, that is why i m watch u so long.))) Ty very much!!!!
Love my replica. Wish I got a second!
looks like my Flea ''punk bass'' replica, I got at a gift shop in Spain, for 6 $. Total crap. Sorry for that.
Well, looks like I might be cancelling my order...
my guess it was an error on marketing, it was probably supposed to be the Daphne Blue guitar. I haven't gotten mine yet but will make my judgement then.
my girlfriend bought me mine and now I cant wait to inspect it
I have purchased books, hoodies, shirts, and a jacket from @To the stars, always satisfied, but this guitar will probably be my last purchase. As you said, a slap in the face. Mine arrived damaged, and the neck pocket is all chipped away. It almost looks like it broke, and they re-glued it.
i was heart broken with how poorly made these were.
Oh, also your music sounds awesome man.
wow i nearly bought one a couple months ago well im glad i didnt buy it now
ive ordered one to germany^^ what i remember :on to the stars presale there are 2 different pictures....one surf green and one from the teal Green one...thats fucked up fact 3
i know this is from a while ago now i saw a blink 182 miniature guitar on eBay a while back before these it had the 20 years smiley design on it and it looked way better then these ones and i don't think it was ever licensed by the band itself i think some company just decided to do miniature guitars with different bands artwork on them the thing i don't get is tom knows what his signature guitars are and usually when you get something like this you send the other company reference images of whatever you want made and when he received the he should have looked and noticed everything wrong about the from color to back plate to headstock issues to the horrible looking pickup but its like he didn't care about the wrong color and didn't care about the flaws and i have a feeling like most companies the company he chose to make them did them for him on the cheap for a few dollars a piece so he could them sell them for a huge profit tom is my guy but this was a disappointment i was going to purchase on but it would have cost me more because i live in Australia and i saw on Facebook Instagram google and TH-cam that a lot of people weren't happy then a few months later i saw he did a miniature of his semi hollow body and i thought rom the photos it looked nice but what customers would receive will probably be a repeat of the fender disaster
Mine was shit quality too. Seriously looks like a kindergartner painted the pickup on. But at the end of the day I think it's kinda cool especially since it's daphne blue like my full sized Tom Delonge strat. Would I buy another miniature from Axe Heaven? No.
Is it real signature?
Yah
That's pretty bunk. At least if the colour and picups looked more like invaders it may be somewhat acceptable.
I would guess these are made in China by people earning a pittance, who have no idea who Tom Delonge is. They are probably required to assemble dozens of mini guitars per hour. That's "hand-crafted".
Lol. I just got an email refund notification a half hour after requesting a refund. Not bad.
How were you able to request the refund? Thanks
@@SJMKS.0 I emailed TTS from their customer service link on the bottom of their page. Just told them the quality doesn't match the advertising or price paid. They responded quickly with the cancelation and refund.
@@jasonstevenson85 had it already arrived/been shipped out?
Same. I've always had good communicatuon with them. Quick refund no questions asked.
His ORIGINAL he plays in the pursuit of tone has a backplate.
That's not the guitar we're talking about here my man
I’m so mad mine shipped before I saw the photos online. It’s trash.
Lol okay I read more comments lol my bad
I think you were a little luckier than Allan, I saw his it was really bad. Still the overall quality of these is shocking! P.s Nice track
Thanks for the vid. Looks so bad so I'm gonna cancel mine.
If anyone is unable to get a refund. I’m willing to buy for 15$ + shipping. Yep
the price is insane
Handmade in the USA, not by some child laborer in China being paid $5 a month.
Echoing other comments, it’s a shame this was held by Tom and he was happy to sign and send them out. Says a lot about the man.
The fact that they are charging 75 dollars for it.. screams scam
I have a Squier and that mini looks exactly like it. Except mine has the maple fretboard.
Sick 😎
Thanks. Just cancelled. They got back within 20 minutes.
I haven't yet
Yikes, it looks like one of those realistic fondant cakes. As a cake, it might be impressive, but as a miniature replica, it’s garbage.
Im surprised there is no ‘Tom Delonge’ engraved on the silver plate that keeps the body attached the fret board.
That was feature on the original too
Maybe he can make it up to us by putting out his full size signature strat.
Cyrus Doce yeah but fender isn’t gonna offer him a signature again. His time has passed. But these minis well fetch hundreds in a year on eBay. Just watch
Andy Bradford haha good luck
@Cyrus Doce Nah man, literally everything associated with Tom Delonge ALWAYS has risen in value, his guitars, straps, used gear, personal items, signed items. Some tom bot will buy it eventually
@@thatbrianwallace thx bb
Lottie kinda shitty of me to buy something that’s limited in quantity to resell? It’s called business man. Even this TH-cam channel you’re on right now does the same thing 🤣🤣🤣 you sound like a 🤡
The advertisement looks photoshopped to me..
Thats kinda my point
Not bad for 30 dollars but anymore is too much. I think the worst thing is the pickup, not only does it not look like an invader but it's poorly made regardless.
What blows my mind is that Tom signed every one of them knowing they weren’t correct. Makes me definitely look at him differently as an artist now.
Hard to believe Tom would let his name be associated with that piece of junk.. maybe the signature itself is fake
Yea since any toddler can learn how to sign that signature, not hard to believe.
At least the guitar stand is decent lmao
Thank god
Yeah, that looks pretty shit man. Glad I forgot about buying it
its a little mini guitar, i feel like youre expecting too much. but $75 is too much for what it is
Did you even listen to what I had to say?
@@littleredguitars2 i did, i actually watched the entire vid before commenting
@@wildcard749 it's supposed to be a replica, period. It is not. It was falsely advertised. Pretty simple. The price could be argued to justify quality but not inaccuracies.
I dont see any problem with with it. 🤷♂️
The colour is off the signature is arsed ways, the product looks cheap. Really?
Eww... that guitar looks, eww
They are made for little tiny people hell you knew that you couldn't play it why hell did you order it man was you drunk
🤡
you good?😂
Jesus this looks so bad, doesnt even look like the replica. for 20 bucks sure its a cool piece but for 75 bucks you should of had the exact specs
100% with you - it looks like shit... sorry
Yea that looks pretty terrible.
WTF? This "guitar" it's very ugly 🤣🤣🤣
Tom is extremely hungry for money 💰
Looks horrible.
Toms signature is the laziest I've seen an artist do. It's like anybody can easily do that themselves and say that was signed by him lol
Nato G Ferreira did you ever see the video of him signing the original Xbox’s with Mark and Travis?
@@jasonholden no I haven't , do you have the link? I tried to search for it but unsuccessfully
Nato G Ferreira ah I have been trying to find it. It’s from the TOYPAJ era. Tom literally puts the laziest TD on several Xbox’s (he was barely looking) and Mark says something sarcastic like “The kids are going to be so stoked with that signature”
@@jasonholden yea I guess that's how kids would feel, I felt the same when I won directly from american hi-fi, their lyric sheet signed by Stacy with the most boring signature and the laziest hand writing, they shouldn't do a competition if they arent bothered about giving prizes lol I basically kept it for a month and ended up burning the thing cuz it was just lame. And they are one of my fav bands, I had a similar situation with finch when they performed a show in glasglow looking pissed off and not even thanking the people that showed up. No wonder people end up forgetting these bands.
Now here's a 1st world problem if I ever saw one!
