    Tom DeLonge and To The Stars have announced a limited edition series of guitars. They will go on sale tomorrow.

    To The Stars* is proud to unveil its rarest and most creatively distinctive guitar release to date: ten ultra-limited Tom DeLonge Meteorite Fender Starcasters, collectively known as The Ad Astra Ten. Each is a fully hand-customized, one-of-a-kind instrument crafted from elite materials and literal fragments of the cosmos.
    
    Available this Black Friday (November 28, 2025) and timed to the ten-year anniversary of To The Stars*, The Ad Astra Ten honors a decade of boundary-pushing creativity - where science fiction, music, and outer-limit exploration collide. Inspired by Tom’s own legendary meteorite-finished Custom Shop guitar, this series pushes that vision even further.
    
    Each guitar begins with an original TD @fender Starcaster before undergoing an extensive transformation by master craftsman and longtime punk-rock skate veteran @brianthrasher13. Every finish features a retro-inspired colorway sealed beneath a clear coat infused with ten hand-crushed meteorites - and each instrument is topped with a one-of-one illustration drawn directly by @tomdelonge. #tothestars

    $3,500.00.
    Due to the nature of this item and its components, shipping is restricted to USA lower 48 states only.

    These are really cool. Wish more artists would do stuff like this. Expensive as hell, but still really cool.

    These are essentially the standard models you can purchase, just custom painted and signed by Tom. 50% mark up for the customization/signature...oh plus the case these come with. Original production doesn't even come with a case/bag.

    And that's why you always leave a note.

    Man, does Tom really need $3,500 per guitar at this point? I love the signature models from these guys, but they're soooo pricey.
