Product Description

Fender’s Blacktop range shakes up some their most popular designs to offer something a little different. The Mahogany Strat is no exception, combining striking looks with fat Mahogany tone and an HHH pickup configuration to boot!

Body & Neck

Strats are known for their balanced tone, sometimes with a slightly scooped midrange, courtesy of either an Alder or Ash body. Not for this model though; Mahogany makes a rare appearance. As a result, this Strat has a weight low-end resonance and a honky midrange – perfect humbucker territory.

For the neck, it’s the familiar Maple, this time featuring a larger ‘70s-style headstock. This adds to the edgy appearance of the Blacktop, and the use of Maple offers the perfect amount of top-end sparkle to complement the hefty Mahogany sound. Special mention to the black headstock finish – slick.

Hardware & Electronics

Where the Mahogany body adds weight to this Strat’s sound, the pickups add muscle. Triple Alnico humbuckers – yes, 3 – provide output by the bucket-load, delivering snarling tone that’s perfect for fat riffs and soaring leads alike. This is easily one of the chunkiest-sounding Strats in Fender’s range.

Notable hardware details include the amp-style Blacktop knobs, vintage-style Fender tuning pegs, and 3-ply pickguard. Gold hardware adds a final polished element to a guitar that’s otherwise oozing attitude.

I love this guitar! Looks amazing and plays really well. It's got a good weight to it being a mahogany body. The neck is fast and silky smooth. It needed a bit of a set up out of the box, but other than that it's a winner! I've only played it through a Vox amplug headphone amplifier, but it sounds awesome. Just waiting for my Boss Katana-Air now to see what this baby can really do!

It needs a major set up but over all I am thrilled!

Dr Jagan Mudigonda8th May 2019

A brilliant guitar. This is my first ever Strat and it's been lovely to play. It doesn't seem to need a setup as it played beautifully straight out of the box. It's also so beautiful to look at as the photo will hopefully show 😊 A lovely lovely thing to own in my very humble opinion. I personally love the look of triple bumbuckers but each to their own.
