underrated strat

this is really a great guitar for all types of music, far more versatile than a standard SSS strat, the neck is a good, neutral size that most anyone would find comfortable, i haven't experienced any tuning issues, even when using the vibrato, the stock pickups are fairly good, the coil splits aren't the best sounding to me, i find them very sterile sounding and I'm not a huge fan of the switching system it uses, but even with that, its the best strat I've ever picked up, and if you can find one cheap, which is getting difficult to do, its probably one of the best mexican fenders you can buy.

Versatility and beauty!

This beauty is a guitar for "all gigs". The factory splitted pickups gives the user a lot of sonic possibilities but despite this fact the Blacktop has no lack of soul and mojo in my opinion. Of course you can change some itens as keys, electrics etc..but i'm totally satisfied with mine.
