Mustang arrived
I have to say, that it sounds very nice. Some of the clean tones are really impressive..good job Fender

Some updates on my Strat

EMG DG20 kit with original Fender mint green pickguard (still retains the oem look of my blacktop), Original Fender staggered locking tuners & Schaller strap locks...and a new Gator Case, since i'm starting to carry her around

Why did you buy a blacktop in the first place when the first thing you do is changing the pickups? They are single-coils, if I'm not mistaken. Now you made it a real strat


I like your guitar even more now congrats!

Cheers from Tsüri

Hi Amerigo and thank you,
i choose this one (blacktop) because i liked too much the combination between maple fretboard/sonic blue body, plus 22 frets which other MiM they don't have. And i can't buy a Custom Shop . I wanted something that i can customise "out of the box"..and with a good base to start with...

Looks great, bet it sounds fantastic too with the DG20s....I love mine!

Where in Switzerland are you from?

Hi Schritzer and thank you very much for the compliments! It's a very versatile guitar now, that's why i love so much this DG20 set from EMG. I'm from Tessin

Yeah the DG20 really is a very versatile set, such a massive tonal range. I bought it specifically for those Gilmour PULSE tones, but you really can get everything from single coil to humbucker tones out of them.

Ah I have a friend from Bern, not too far away from you I think. Few hours drive.

Thanks alot guys

Love the Blacktop, looks great with those EMGs. Looks like lots of folks are modding these things, I put some GFS Texas wound pickups in mine.

Saw a sonic blue one on Craigs the other day for $275. If it had a maple neck I would have been all over it.

Nice guitar, even better after the mods. I love the way the Blacktops play. Not too keen on the original pups, but as you know easily changed out. Welcome to the Forum.
