TO THE STARS MEDIA PRESENTS
“THE AD ASTRA TEN”
10 ONE-OF-A-KIND TOM DELONGE METEORITE FENDER STARCASTER GUITARS FOR ITS TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Hand-Customized by Tom DeLonge & Crafted by Master Builder Brian Thrasher – Each Embedded With Crushed Lunar, Martian, and Bolide Meteorites
To The Stars* is proud to unveil its rarest and most creatively distinctive guitar releases in the company’s history: ten ultra-limited Tom DeLonge Meteorite Fender Starcasters, each a fully hand-customized, one-of-a-kind instrument merging punk rock with elite craftsmanship, and literal pieces of the cosmos called The Ad Astra Ten.
Available on Black Friday and timed in celebration of the ten-year anniversary of To The Stars Media, this release honors a decade of boundary-pushing creativity—where science fiction, music, and outer-limit exploration collide. These guitars embody the spirit of that journey, combining cosmic materials with the defiant creative streak that defined the company’s early vision.
Inspired by Tom’s own legendary Fender Custom Shop meteorite guitar, the new run begins with an original Tom DeLonge Fender Starcaster, then undergoes an extensive transformation by master craftsman and longtime punk-rock skate veteran Brian Thrasher. Each body is finished in a retro-inspired custom colorway and sealed under a clear coat blended with ten different crushed meteorites, ground by hand with a mortar and pestle.
These extraterrestrial materials include samples from the Moon, Mars, Carbonaceous chondrites, and the historic Chelyabinsk super bolide, as well as specimens traced to Asteroid 4 Vesta.
Every guitar features a signature red acrylic “To The Stars” knob, a hand-sanded satin neck back, and—most notably—an individual one-of-one hand-drawn cartoon and signature by Tom DeLonge, illustrated directly on the instrument. No two guitars share the same artwork.
Each Ad Astra Starcaster also comes with:
• A signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity
• A digital photograph of Tom creating the artwork on your exact guitar
• A physical fragment of the meteorite material used in the finish—your own piece of the cosmos
Master builder Brian Thrasher, whose three-decade career spans guitar building, punk rock, and a lifelong obsession with meteoritics, describes the project as a dream collision of passions: “It’s always rad when you get to combine the things you’re obsessed with. Punk rock, guitars, and meteorites—this one was super fun and I had a blast making each guitar totally unique.”
Tom DeLonge adds: “I’ve always believed music connects us to something bigger—and these guitars literally came from outer space. They’re playful, they’re punk, and they each have their own weird little soul. I’m excited for people to hold something this special.”
With only 10 pieces available, this limited release is the most exclusive To The Stars x Fender creations ever produced—an extraordinary fusion of music, art, and interstellar history.
Available for $3500 each at 9am PST on Black Friday.
