I love the sound of my Les Paul guitar so it was a no brainer when Fender came out with the Blacktop Strat. It pretty well covers the LP sound plus can still cop the traditional Strat sound as well. Not sure why Fender ever discontinued them.

Yeah, I saw that. Very tempting, but I gonna resist. I'll kick myself later.
If I didn't already have a black Embassy, it would be gone.

...so I ordered the last Bach NR Body from Roman today....will take some time to remove the neck stump...comes without hardware..
That looks like a great start to a project we'll want to hear (and see more) about!
love running into these....
this one has the original pair of ever elusive Sylvania 6CA7s...

Yes it is, a 2005. Not an iconic year for Strats, but I just wanted to replace an acoustic I sold (Sigma Martin--an outstanding sounding guitar). Was looking to just buy a Mexican made strat and a guy I've dealt with off and on for years said I could have this one for not much more. This was when there was a local instrument shop in the area. It's a better instrument than I am a player, that's for sure. I have a little Princeton 75 watt amp I play through. That little sucker is ungodly loud!
Never need to go beyond 2 at home.I'm not sure why the would either. Seems like a great option, and one that would draw some humbucker fans to a Strat.
Miles, that's just gorgeous!
Used the '06 again today and it sounding great with the GHS Precision Flats was no fluke. Sounded great again today. What a joy to play AND hear now. I swear that bass is as comfortable as any I own or have played.
Beautiful finish on that Strat!
