Question:
Talk about pandering to the lowest common denominator. Delonge is the sneering, talentless guitarist for Blink 182, a band of late twenty-somethings that caters to an audience of 12 year olds. Not only has Fender issued a signature Strat bearing his name, but it has also bestowed upon this model two of the most appealing and nostalgic Strat colors -- surf green and daphne blue. any comment?
Answer:
While not disagreeing with anything you have said, if you were CEO of Fender, and your job was selling guitars, what would you have done differently? Fender is a business, they need to make money to survive. Blink 182 is a hot band, not exactly to my tastes, but that's beside the point, if Fender can sell a lot of these guitars because of that, then what exactly are they doing wrong? I wouldn't especially want an Ace Freeley signature LP, but that doesn't mean I despise Gibson for making one.
