The first guitar Barakat ever wanted was a Fender Tom DeLonge Signature Strat. He eventually tracked one down from fellow pop-punker Ian Grushka from New Found Glory. The Strat is still stock and features a single Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge. (New Found Glory is the inspiration for All Time Low’s band name—they took it from a NFG lyric in “Head on Collision.”)
