From what I read this guitar is a Factory Special Run exclusive commissioned by certain Fender dealers in the UK. It's also offered as a twin humbucker variant in Black and Crimson Red Transparent with chrome hardware.

Seems to be available as a Europe-wide model. Thomann list all 3 versions.
The black HH has gold hardware.
The pickups look suspiciously like a version of the Korean Booheungs as used in the original Blacktops. They were not well received by many.

Both Black and Crimson HH sport chrome hardware, only the Olympic White HHH has gold-plated parts.

Can I request you stop showing me guitars with gold hardware as I neither have the finances or space to accommodate their outrageous coolness. Gold and black looks sooooo good.

I was never really into gold hardware until I built Fish Face and now it seems there are Strats with gold hardware every where. I am obviously a trend setter.

The trouble I am having now is I look at most of my other Strats and think "That would look so cool with gold hardware."

I used to think gold made a guitar look pretentious but it now almost seems to give it a Steam Punk retro look which I really dig. It must be a bi product of getting older; if you surround yourself with stuff that looks old you, by comparison, must look younger....perhaps. :roll:

The HHH lacks off a push-pull pot to tap and split the humbuckers for more traditional single-coil sounds.

I'll pass on the HHH for any guitar.
