Power with every note. The Blacktop Strat comes fitted with a pair of powerful Alnico humbuckers, emitting a tone with all the warmth, sustain, and rich character that they're renowned for. It goes without saying that you'll experience immaculate clarity with every note, due to the hum-cancelling nature of the pickups. Not to mention the searing hot capabilities that lie at your fingertips. Because humbuckers were born to unleash those scorching melodies and fat, textured chords that shaped the sound of rock 'n' roll. And, with individual tone and master volume knobs, players have complete freedom to shape their tone to their style.
Born to perform
Every inch of the Blacktop Strat is crafted for performance. And it shows. A stunning mahogany body provides a distinctive richness in your sound, along with a dual-cutaway design for effortless access to the upper frets. Fender know better than anyone that a guitar should enhance creativity. And this limited edition model is certainly no exception.
The maple neck is shaped into a “C” shape, fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand. This way, you can play every riff, chord, and solo with total control and precision. What's more - the Pau Ferro fretboard is distinctively sleek. What this means, is that your fingers will soar across the surface whilst movement of your hand will remain fluid across the back of the neck, ideal for fast playing. Put simply, the Blacktop Stratocaster won’t hold you back. Because, ultimately, Fender know what it takes to deliver a truly refined playing experience.
Fuel your performance with expression
It doesn't get more creative than using a whammy bar in performance. Hendrix used one in his Woodstock performance. Jeff Beck made it his own. And now, you can inject your performance with your own creative flair. Whether you're unleashing screeching dive bombs, giving your solo that extra kick, or simply decorating your chords with some elegant shimmer – the famed Strat tremolo system gives players an even bigger platform to experiment their sound with. A Strat wouldn't be a Strat without it. So it goes without saying that the Blacktop features the iconic tremolo bridge design, for even more possibilities in your sound.
