I wasn't even looking for a guitar. Just went in for a Vox Amplug...

Guitar Center had other ideas.

Right in front as you walked in was a display of Fender guitars that were on sale.

Among them was my newest pride and joy. A black w/black pickguard HH Blacktop Strat.
This bad boy is gorgeous! The chrome pick up covers really set off the black/black color. Once I plugged it in, my resistance crumbled... I was not expecting these Fender humbuckers to sound so good! Also, the guitar feels and plays as good as my MIA Standard. It's very resonant, and sustains for days.

What a great guitar! Fender: Ya did good!

The truly amazing part is that I'd never really considered buying an HH strat before. To me, a Strat is all about the single coils. Then I tried one. The pickups are quite a bit nicer than my HH Ibby, and for nearly the same money.

I'm really tempted to get a tele blacktop to replace my old ibanez as my bucking guitar.

Do these come out of the mexican factory? They're really cheap in comparison to the MIA's.

Hi pyroman,

Yes, it is a surprisingly decent guitar. With a couple of upgrades it can be very nice. A picture of yours would be cool. :wink:

Resistance is futile.
You won't regret it, I promise!
The sonic spectrum is quite amazing.
