With a rosewood fretboard, two humbuckers and a middle Telecaster single-coil pickup, the Fender Blacktop Strat HSH roars with a sound all its own.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
5-way pickup selector switch Versatile; wide range of tones from fat to thin
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range
C-shaped neck profile Comfortable, rounded oval shape
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel

Take a Blacktop Stratocaster HH model and add a single-coil Telecaster middle pickup between the full-throttle neck and bridge humbucking pickups, and you have the Blacktop Stratocaster HSH. A scorchingly formidable guitar that was already extremely versatile gets an additional sonic boost.
