April Birthdays 
I'm gonna get one...at least I hope. Found one at an Indy Guitar Center, this evening, plugged it into the all-tube 50W Vox combo that I'd been trying other guitars through, and although the previous owner had replaced the Seymour Duncan Invader with a different Seymour Duncan humbucker, I fell in love with its tone. As I was playing mostly barre chord jams...making it up, as I went along...I thinking how it'd make a better companion to my Fender So Cal Speed Shop Strat, than my Squier Bullet Special.
While my So Cal Speed Shop Strat sings sweetly on the high end, and snarls on the low end, then growls like a tiger when down tuned to C, the Tom DeLonge Strat snarls and growls. In that, I figure the Tom DeLonge Strat will really come alive, to down tune it, trying D-D first, then C-C. I'll keep the So Cal Speed Shop Strat standard tuned, and use it for all of my hot rod instrumentals. I'll likely create some heavy metal tunes, with the Tom DeLonge Strat.
I'll still add some more Fenders to my collection, as mentioned in other posts, as well as a Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway for one of my main surf guitars, along with my Epiphone Les Paul Jr. 90, and likely a Gibson SG Classic for my surf rhythms. If I feel inspired to have 2 lead guitars, I'll use both Les Pauls. Otherwise, I'm pretty much inclined to reconfigure my guitar collection in the way of "if it don't say Epiphone or Fender on the headstock, I'm going to sell it." I still may end up with a few guitars that may never appreciate in value, but I'll end up with guitars that will all be used for various recording projects, rather than one or two, with the rest of 'em collecting dust in a corner. I can't help that I've found my rockabilly and surf guitar voice in a couple of P90 equipped Les Pauls, and a P90 equipped SG, while I found my country/psychedelic voice in a Telecaster and Stratocaster...then finding I also have a heavy metal voice through a Tom DeLonge Strat. At least they'll all be speaking through the same amp, when I'm able to add an all-tube combo to my gear collection.
