What is wrong with the people who gave this video a thumbs down?! .. it’s obviously a video of personal opinion, so why the dislike? Cause you don’t share his opinion? People are weird. Thanks again man, really appreciate your content! Keep it coming!
i own the ES-333 Epiphone since 2009 and it was the best decision ever. love the guitar and the tone. give me that special blink feeling when i play their songs ♥
I just bought one 2 weeks ago and I agree with you. It was the best decision ever. Im very happy with it. Feels good playing, has a good sound. Just perfect!
@@theloserdevilpodcastI bought it second hand a very good deal. Really cheap tho. The guy didnt know what he had 😅 these guitars worth now like 1000 dollars or more
It’s funny because I feel the exact opposite way about this type of guitar. The way it feels sitting and the way it inspires me even though it does feel less than stellar. Especially when I’m sitting, something about how it stays on me when I’m sitting. So much better than a strat on me but hey it’s all personal preference!
I believe tom said playing the strat was like playing a violin based on the fact he's a pretty big guy which is probably one of the reasons he was drawn to the Gibson. Never really liked the look of it personally. And for that price you can get a far more versatile axe.
He has stated that. You're right! I'm around the same height, ( 6' 4.5" ) And too be honest, playing a Stratocaster vs. "Bigger" guitars... Well, it does help having something a bit "Beefier" for "Bigger/Taller" guitar players... Just my experience...
A friend of mine had a TD strat in high school and it felt great for my size then. As an adult playing a start feels like I’m playing with a toy. I’m only 6’ but I’m a bit muscular. If you saw me playing it you’d definitely ask if it was a mini.
PattyMayonnaise just want to say I appreciate that a 6’ muscular man has the user name PattyMayonnaise lol. I really connected with that cartoon when I was a kid. Haha Doug.
The "poor guitarist guy problem" I have the same problem, I want to buy that guitar but but the money is not enough not even to buy quality gear the the economic crisis in my country (mhmp Argentina ...) which has been around for years makes "economic guitars" cost very expensive, to get to the point, the guitar is designed for people who want to play like Tom, and if you want to keep the guitar I'd recommend you an equalizer pedal or something like that
I'm 6' 2.'' mainly a bass player, but I got a few guitars too, Gibson LP, Epi TD, PRS & a Jazzmaster. Playing tiny strats always felt weird, I totally love the feel & sound of my Epi Delonge, I got it used for $ 300 it's much better than any, even higher end Squiers I tried. What might work for you, wouldn't suit others needs. Great video!
I have the epiphone and I learnt to play on it so I have a big soft spot for it. I love how much it feeds back. Still love it. It’s only good to play standing up though
Honestly I agree with the gibson vs epiphone feel issue. I'll only own a few epiphones: 57 reissue junior, some of their nice acoustics, and the only one I do own, a white lightning les paul And yea the epiphone TD 333s I've played all felt like shit, but the price is decent
I recently got the Epiphone Casino and find it very versatile in tone. Been a strat dude since 2005 cause of Tom Delonge and never really liked the feedback or bulkiness of a hollow-body before but the music i been making in the last couple yrs guess changed my tone and been liking it the big hollow bodies and can still play almost similar to the strat sound with pedals and amps. Guess it depends on the sound and tone and been liking the feel of the neck of the hollowbodies.
I had a strat, and currently have the epiphany and Gibson. I didn’t like the strat, like you said it was too small for me, and it was way too distorted, but it played better than the other two. The epiphone was decent and I wasn’t expecting a huge difference between the epiphone and the Gibson, but it was night and day. The Gibson sounds so much bigger and fuller. It’s my favorite guitar I’ve ever had.
I have owned the Epiphone version, but I ultimately sold it because it sounded dull and it wouldn't stay in tune, the only thing that really saved it was the pickup. I then found a Gibson ES-339 Studio, which is basically a TD signature without the racing stripe, same pickup and all. I got one really cheap as it was about to be discontinued, but the only problem was that the finish was essentially black vinyl which affected the tone, so I stripped it and refinished it. Now it plays quite well :)
littleredguitars2 That's why I got the black one initially, although Tortoiseshell trussrod covers seemed a bit of a bizarre choice considering the target market.
I have one ES-333 Tom DeLonge Signature and I was very surprised for its sound. It is a very versatile guitar for many genres of music. Im very happy with it
The Epi version was the first guitar I ever bought with my own money, good guitar but the lack of features does make $500 a bit much. Still It's one of my favorites and it ended up getting stolen and thankfully got it back but in the time it was gone I wasn't rushing to go buy a replacement if that puts it into perspective. Would rather build a warmoth mooncaster in the style of it now though.
Yeah it’s all personal preference. I just picked up an ES-333 for around 3,000. I have played it none stop for the last month and i do feel like it is overall way better than the strat. It feels like a way better built guitar and the craftsmanship is overall way more impressive than my TD strat. The tone for me is also so much better from the Gibson. I just feel like it plays way better than my fender. However as you say, it’s all about personal preference.
I've played cheap squire telecasters and lower model esp vs. I had an epiphone les paul jr 57 reissue in cherry red. Sold it. Recently bought a les paul traditional pro 3 epiphone, cherry red. I have to say, the two epiphone are the best guitars I have ever played. Hands down.
Hey Man! big Blink fan since i was a teenager. 40 now and started play last year :) big fan of Blink and also am a Free M., is Tom too? i know you are due to other videos i have seen. Thanks for replying. Fraternally from Switzerland
I like Epiphone, but no doubt Gibson is better. But you get what you pay for. I don’t have any problem with Epiphone’s and love playing them for practicing or just messing around, but Gibson definitely has a much nicer feel and sound.
I have Tom’s epiphone :) people love it, and I never get tired of seeing it or playing it. I had his fender back in the day and it never felt super special.
Epiphone has really stepped their game up in recent years. I have a 2015 epi hummingbird pro and a 2020 epi les paul custom and the build quality on them (especially the lp custom) are fantastic for the price. That being said the 335 isn't for me either. I wish like hell I could find a sticker strat replica or a decent EOTS fender strat.
I actually have the Gibson Epiphone he put out, and I enjoy it honestly. OBVIOUSLY it's not gonna be on par with that of an A grade $3,000+ Gibson, but it's a nice guitar. MY fiancé got it for me for my birthday. I play pretty much all standard tuning shit on it, and use my actual Les Paul for anything higher (or lower perhaps) than Drop D tuning.
Everything about the epiphone version is just as good with the exception of the finish and frets. Only serious reason I’d take it over the Gibson is because I’m not as worried about getting it a little beat up (it’s way cheaper) and the headstock angle is less harsh, less nut binding so it stays in tune longer. Don’t get this guitar if you don’t like intense amounts of feedback. If you like nasty ripping sounds like a p90 on crack, get a second hand epiphone one, fix the frets, and have fun
I am torn between buying an Epiphone TD333 or an Ibanez AS63-MTB. Here in Bulgaria, the TD333 costs about 450 EUR, while this particular Ibanez can be found for a little over 300 EUR. So as you can imagine that's okay for our standard of living. I am still torn between the two, I honestly don't know which one to buy. I want to get the TD333, but then again - why not get something that's not directly copying a favourite musician? Then again - it's a beautiful model. So I really don't know what to do. I will wait for a couple of more months, to save up some more cash and then decide.
I have the TD Epiphone Signature and I can only say good things about it. It's more dirtier and has more power than strats but at the same time you can play clear songs really amazing. I suggest to have both a strat and a 333/335 as long as you feel comfortable. Side note their self titled Album played on a strat just doesn't look right, the darker and more serious character doesn't fit the strats.
In your case, you have some guitars so it wouldn't be needed to get it, unless you wanna collect it and are amazed by the sound and unique design. However, the TD Epiphone brand new go around 400-450 so it's kinda cheap to afford.
👇👇That’s directed at other people who might be interested. He’s right about then being uncomfortable to play, i only play mine standing up because I’m skinny and the hard angles dig into everything when I sit down to play it
I have a Gibson es-333 in black that I purchased from Martin of boys like girls. My understanding is Tom owned it previously. Would love to chat more about it. It’s amazing.
littleredguitars2 sorry I didn’t get a notification about this reply. But Yepp, black with cream stripe. I’ve posted it on some FB and reddit pages just to share.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I own both. Finally got the Fender a month ago and haven’t touched the EPI since. If you ever wanted to try the EPI for shits and giggles, we could figure out shipping both ways and I’d let you try out mine just for review purposes.
Hey man! I’m not sure if you know about the website zzounds.com, however I bought the epiphone 333 off that site. Small monthly payments. I always wanted the Gibson as well, couldn’t afford it. I’m a huge Tom fan and I’ve always wanted it. I own two tom fender strats and really wanted the 333 but did not have the budget for the Gibson. I was weary about the epiphone 333, but I honestly love it man. I understand your hesitation about the brand epiphone, but I really think you should maybe give them another shot.
WOW! "Great Grandfathers Guitar..." I've seen that guitar in the background of some of your videos and have wondered the "History" / How you acquired it/If you play it... (Because I don't think that you've played it in many, if any of your videos...) COOL to learn a bit more about that guitar... Sounds like you have a lineage of Musicians within your family line. No wonder you are such an awesome guitar player! :D
i use it a lot for recording. doesnt see much light as far as covers go just because i tend to do certain things but i try to bring it out for the newer blink/ava stuff since he uses a similar guitar during that time. but yeah its pretty sweet and it plays and sounds great. if only it were a little smaller hah
Squiers are worse imo, I have one and its alright to dick around on but I've always thought Ephiphones were better feeling and sounding. Actual strats are still my favorite though
So what about the Mark Hoppus signature basses (Fender or Jaguar)? I know this is primarily a guitar centered channel, but it's still cool to hear your thoughts.
hey buddy question for u my telecasters bridge pickup has little to no sound when tone knob is turned down any idea why seems to work fine when tone knob is turned up
and i have the tom delonge es333 its not that bad if all u want is to play tom songs i think with any guitar aslong as i the right set up you make any guitar sound good but i do understand the comfort level with using the es333 its not as good as playing a tele something smaller in size
I was looking to buy the epiphone and the guy said to me that his friend took a Gibson to a pawn shop and sold it for £700 I'm not sure what the us equivalent is
Gibson’s nowadays aren’t great. for the price you’re paying, you can get a better guitar if not cheaper from brands like fender, ibanez, schecter, and even epiphone. i really like epiphones, especially the prices of them. i don’t think playing pop punk songs and power chords can really test the true abilities of a guitar. epiphone is really saving gibson’s ass right now atm.
I’ve owned three of Tom’s Epiphone ES-333’s, each time thinking I’d get a good one, and I can honestly say that they’re all shit. If you’re gonna get a Tom DeLonge guitar, get his Fender. I’ve heard great things about the Gibson though, but they’re extremely rare to come by these days..
@@littleredguitars2 Dude have you been out of the loop? Gibson's whole "play authentic", everyone knows their newer models are sucking in quality straight from the factory. Gibson right now isn't worth the amount of money they're asking for. This has been well known for a while now.
I've had several of the Delonge strats, both fender and squier. Surprisingly, I've found that the lower end squier version plays and sounds better than the actual fender version. I sold all of my delonge's except one of the Squier Strats. I also have a gibson 333 (Natural) and HAD a Delonge 333 as well. again... sold the Delonge. Its a no contest against the standard 333. I HATED that guitar, but love my natural. Those are my two "Go to" guitars. As for bass... NOTHING ive played beats a hoppus. Nothing.
I personally wouldn’t. It’s a nice looking guitar, but it’s not versatile. Only 1 pickup and no tone control. I like playing Blink-182 and AvA songs, but that’s not the only type of music I play, let alone listen to. Rather get a 335 or 339.
Hey Jon, WIll you ever buy Tom Delonge's Signature TD333 Gibson/Epiphone?
Edit: Nevermind, just watched the video.
Ive got the epiphone 333 and a fender delonge strat. I prefer the epiphone to be honest
Love that cheesy “oh, didn’t see ya there!” Intro lmao

Ye,pretty dumb, I enjoy the es models alot but still liked.
I still have a tom signature fender that he smashed on stage during the take off your pants your.
Post a vid of it man

Squiers are a-ok! I recently got a Deluxe Jazzmaster and it's really fun. It's my only guitar and I recommend it to anyone.
Squiers are awesome guitars. Squier stratocaster deluxe guitars are probably the best bang for buck budge strat you can get.
I have the epiphone and I learnt to play on it so I have a big soft spot for it. I love how much it feeds back. Still love it. It’s only good to play standing up though

littleredguitars2 That's why I got the black one initially, although Tortoiseshell trussrod covers seemed a bit of a bizarre choice considering the target market.
And in 2021 these Epiphone Tom Delonge Signature ES 333 are going for $1300-$2000. Crazy as hell because I got lucky and bought one for under $1k

you should mod your own TD strat. its not too hard and if you shop around, it can be fairly cheap.

only in the bridge position? neck works fine? thats a weird one. maybe a wire is grounding out some how? i'm really unsure.

My dream is to have the signature 333 Epiphone!
That intro is 💯
I used to have the guitar, but I sold it because the texture and feel off it wasn’t very good. Like wood plastic. Doesn’t shine
I bought a fake chibson of the tom gibson, and it's such a fucking awesome guitar. I just couldn't do the epiphone headstock
nice. lucked out
They're still available fam! Check on AliExpress
Ehh, it's ok.
Loved that intro
I was looking to buy the epiphone and the guy said to me that his friend took a Gibson to a pawn shop and sold it for £700 I'm not sure what the us equivalent is
Anyone that sells a guitar to a pawn shop is getting ripped off
They need to release more colors for it.
Agreed
I had a tom delonge epiphone es333 and the headstock snapped off after around 6 months from laying it down on a bed. Worst day of my life.
Someone is actually selling the one he owned in my city. Would be cool to say you have it but that’s about it.
I had a chance to buy an Epiphone one didn't jump on it and I regret it.
why not give the 339 the TD look?
Too much effort
Is anyone willing to sell a Fender or Gibson Tom DeLonge? Looking for both. =)
try reverb dot com
Gibson’s nowadays aren’t great. for the price you’re paying, you can get a better guitar if not cheaper from brands like fender, ibanez, schecter, and even epiphone. i really like epiphones, especially the prices of them. i don’t think playing pop punk songs and power chords can really test the true abilities of a guitar. epiphone is really saving gibson’s ass right now atm.
I’ve owned three of Tom’s Epiphone ES-333’s, each time thinking I’d get a good one, and I can honestly say that they’re all shit. If you’re gonna get a Tom DeLonge guitar, get his Fender. I’ve heard great things about the Gibson though, but they’re extremely rare to come by these days..
Agreed, i had an epiphone tom delonge too, felt really cheap and got so easily out of tune
I had the epiphone one back in the day. It was a pile of shite! Greetings from Ireland!
i am guilty of asking this one at you last time haha
Freemasons and their 33's
Hmmm Epiphones are way better quality than Gibson right now. Easy example is the Lee Malia signature series of guitars. Gibson has been slacking again
No they're not
@@littleredguitars2 Dude have you been out of the loop? Gibson's whole "play authentic", everyone knows their newer models are sucking in quality straight from the factory. Gibson right now isn't worth the amount of money they're asking for. This has been well known for a while now.
I've had several of the Delonge strats, both fender and squier. Surprisingly, I've found that the lower end squier version plays and sounds better than the actual fender version.

it was your great grandfathers and he had it for a very very long time but yet it was made in the 80s? the 335 im saying
well he bought it later in life but he still had it for a couple decades. played it so much it needed a refret as soon as it became mine.
Will you ever buy the TD333?
watch the video?
littleredguitars2 Never.
Just out of curiosity, how tall are you? I had a Gibson 335 and eventually sold it to buy a 339...I'm 5'10" and thought the 335 looked huge on me.
Im around the same height
will you ever get the matt skiba signature guitar?? ;)
Lol no
It would be hilarious if you kept playing consistently less tuneful intros to these videos but keeping the same cheery persona.
I personally wouldn’t. It’s a nice looking guitar, but it’s not versatile. Only 1 pickup and no tone control. I like playing Blink-182 and AvA songs, but that’s not the only type of music I play, let alone listen to. Rather get a 335 or 339.
Guitars like that aren't really meant for versatility, more simplicity.
Rolling back the volume cleans it up a lot.
I used to own tomdelongeguitar.com do you remember it?
I always visited that site probably 5-6 years ago.
