he uses these because they are baritones, which gibson doesnt make. he used a jazzmaster style baritone in 03/04 and his orange baritone strat before that.
The Jazzmaster was such a nice guitar too, he uses it on the AOL sessions obvious video, looks and sounds the bomb. Thinking of getting a custom version from Warmoth!
@ElliotsMedia He rarely uses his epiphones anyway and btw your right, e doesn't have to pay for them anyway so price is not a problem. However he is adverse to giving away a near 2000 $ worth gibson, especially if its one of his customs with all the ava shit on it. So he uses epiphones to promote them and keeps them in case he wants to give them away (gibson website only sells the epiphone version). Look up tom giving away his guitar at the blink tour 09, he goes and gets an epiphone.
there seems to be confusion, it's a baritone version of the delonge custom gibson, which is essentially based off an es335 body with duncan pickups. he most likely isnt switching between this baratto and a gibson because of price... the baratto is a baritone, which just means it has a longer neck and can produce much deeper tones than a traditional neck. if you're into thrice, they're a perfect example of baritone guitars on recordings, that super low growl
I knew about Tom using a 'custom' hollowbody guitar for the lower tuned songs like Obvious and Adams Song, but I never knew what it was. Like right after he got is Gibson Sig. he had a custom Fender barritone. It was white with a black pickguard, Jaguar/Jazzmaster bodyshape and pretty much like his old Sig Strat for all of the rest of the stuff. As for him playing the Epiphones aswell, I guess it's for promotion or he uses them to trash/ give away.... He does give away guitars every now and then
@HeroSupplements sorry I haven't replied, my router broke, yes I would really like to help you with the Tom delonge guitar website as I am a large fan of the site
ok, itd be really helpful for someone to awnser this, whats the difference between his signiture epiphone and gibson. because they look the same except a different headstock and name. also the epiphone is $500 and the gibson is like $2,000. Now is there any difference besides the name?
@Brodster4life promotion purposes. so dumb kids will think epiphones are just as good as gibson. I'd rather the kids buy the epi then the gibson. Gibsons prices are too high.
I own 2 TD Gibsons, one in the standard brown and another custom done liek his satin black and black gloss. Both look alot better than this thing in my opinion. Gibson has alot nicer curves, way better head stock, and without the pickup cover/plate on the body , it looks bare... like its missing sumthin.
@unleash1the8beast2 Twas an amazing tour! And yes i was quite blown away when i saw him switch his gibson out for the epi. both great guits, and a great marketing ploy lol
@dmon715 are you sure coz im pretty sure in some of the adams song videos live in 09, he's using a baratto, i dont think hes used the brown with cream stripes or natural live, but he definitely has used the black, with cream one
All the pics you have in this video are from the Baratto website. Tom gave them one of his guitars and they converted the neck and headstock to a Baratto and got rid of the neck plate. In terms of 2010 gibsons... i have one on order right now, andwill have it in august apparently. they are 100% the same as the years past. but when they played adams song, he used the baratto, same with obvious
@dmon715 alright, cheers for the info, is there a site where i can read abut this more? Oh and by the way, how have u ordered one of his gibsons now, are they like reselling or something or is it a left over from 2003/4?
DUDE, i just got my gibson delonge TODAY. holy fuck, what a beast. its soooo soo sooo sooooo perfect. wow. it cost me $3,000 canadian total. and yeah they build it lefty, but its like $500 more.
Guitar Center is selling them for $500

Gibson doesn't make baratone guitars, used for lower tuning. He uses these guitars in songs like Adams song and Obvious, cause they are lower tuned
