I strongly prefer 22 frets, which the Blacktop provides. And it's already got HH with splits, and the pickups are good enough as they are, and my preferred mod is HSH. It also saves me $200. Had that guitar been available here, it would have saved me 33% of what I would have to pay if I imported it, with the mandatory hard case. I don't wish to buy that other guitar and mod it to build a Blacktop. My hunt for the Blacktop HH-FR has been stalled because the distributors haven't communicated with me or the local dealer, and that will be another story.

I'm also a fan of HSH guitars but I prefer HHH for versatility reasons: you'll get more tonal possibilities with the inner and outer coils from the middle humbucker mixed with the front and rear coils from the neck and bridge pickups.

As soon as sell a couple of pieces of equipment, I'm gonna get a Floyd equipped guitar. My last one was stolen. And, I wasn't going to get another. BUT, I really miss playing me some 80's hair metal (with Dokken being one of my favorites). There's an ESP/LTD George Lynch Tiger on the local CL that I would love to get. Its been upgraded with SD pickups also. Only wants $550 with HSC. I like this particular guitar because of HS pickup configuration. A Standard Floyd Strat is still a possibility, but I would make it an HS. Just because I don't think I would use the middle pickup for that type of music.

I like the HSH also. I had an original 1987 Ibanez RG550 in the Desert Sun Yellow. I was into Steve Vai back then.

Oh yeah, congrats on the new/old Blacktop!

Nice guitar!! Love the HH layout- and lots of potential for pitch squeals and dive bombs! :D I love the fact fender opted for HH config with a Floyd term on this one.

I've got a soft spot for Floyd's on a guitar, and one thing I have noticed is that when you look at what is on the market today, it seems that there is a lot of black 'heavy metal' guitars out there like ibanez rg, ESP or B.C Rich in matte finishes equipped with EMG's rather than the classic Strat shape:

I'm on the hunt for a 'rocker' ie- a brightly coloured rock machine like a San Dimas, Kramer Pacer and the like with a maple neck & fingerboard. Seems that era has gone :oops:
