does anyone where these guitars are manufactured?

i find the official info and retailers void on this topic!

Considering the price is in the $500 range, I'm assuming they're MIM.

Yeah I agree with TGS on that. I could be wrong. I have looked at the specs and think it is going to be a winner. I cannot Waite to try one out. I am considering getting one because I have been looking for a HH guitar and I love Strats.

i find it hard to believe MiM as the pricing is lower than the current MiM Standards, i don't think Fender would do that, that leads me to believe something akin to the Squire line,

we'll have to wait and see if someone comes back from a store and tries one,

No, it's MIM, there's no doubt about that. They're currently cheaper than the MIM standards because right now the MIM standards are too expensive (I remember them being $400, not 500).

The Blacktops are made in Mexico. They don't come with a gig bag added to the price, which is a good thing because that's $40 I always refuse to spend.

They're quality guitars. A Sonic Blue Blacktop Strat jumped onto my lap the last time I was at Guitar Center and it ended up coming home with me. It's strange playing a Strat with two humbuckers, without a middle pickup but I think I can adjust.

Honestly I do not care about which country they are manufactured as LNG as they play and sound good. I agree with the other person about the "gig" bag. I have 3 of those things and never use them. I would rather spend money on a good case.

I cannot wait to get my hands wrapped around one. I want to see if this is my next new guitar. It has what I am looking for on paper, let's see I'd it is as good as it reads.

The orignial was "The Big Apple Strat". Not a new concept to Fender, just a new wrapper.

Hi, Doc. I remember the Big Apple Strat and the Double Fat Strat that appeared a few years later. I probably thought they were abominations at the time.

Hmmm, I bought a Stratocaster with two humbuckers and no middle pickup and traded for a 50's Tribute Gibson Les Paul Studio with two single coil P-90s the past two weeks. My 6 string universe has been turned upside down and I like it.

John

Cheaper than MIM Standards? Wow, that's really good. Too bad I'm not into humbuckers. P-90s are great, I have a Les Paul with one in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. Nice combination.

I was looking for a HH Fender with a trem system too, fortunately by chance I found a bargain discontinued Fender MIA HH Strat. So I won't be buying one anymore, but they do look pretty hot!
