My alternate tuning guitar / backup.

I bought my Blacktop Strat a few years ago when they were a fairly new item. Mine is sonic blue, which is gorgeous (as opposed to the black shown here). Originally it was set up absolutely horrendously, but since I have had it set up properly. To me the neck feels a bit dead and the pickups are slightly too dark and muddy for my tastes. However, I think it sounds fantastic and beefy when tuned a whole step down.

First mid priced strat

I've used this strat on several recordings and played this guitar live countless times. As soon as I picked it up I instantly bonded with the neck, perfect and strat. Right now this guitar is strung with 10-52 but I do feel it would be better with 11-56, but that may just be me. The pickups in this guitar are very hot, pushing the front end of my fender champ into a nice natural overdrive when I crank the clean volume knob. My only complaint with this guitar is that the sustain isn't great and the pickups have become slightly micro-phonic with there age. But if I was asked a simple question "Would you buy this guitar again" I would as it gives me the ability to play almost any genre and it suits my playing style just right.

Unbelievable

This guitar has a single coil/humbucker combination in within two humbuckers. I will personally say it's my go-to guitar for anything.

Favourite Guitar

This is my favourite guitar that I have ever played or owned. Again I want another one. Upgraded this with an Original Floyd Rose and a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge with a Dimarzio Air Norton in the neck. White Scratch Plate to make it a little classier. The perfect guitar for me! The one I would grab in a fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ1e1kBKkJ0

Beautiful guitar! I like your videos, too. Did you know you can embed them on Equipboard by selecting the video option instead of the review option?
