I got this about a week ago. I love the color and finish. Every bit as good as any American Strat I've played. The neck has a gloss finish on it. It doesn't give me any problems, but I can understand why some would want a satin finish on the neck. The frets are clean, smooth, and seem to be level (I haven't noticed buzzing anywhere). ...
For more details please copy the Amazon link below in your browser:
I just can decide on the color. Hahaha. I spent a long time deciding on a new Axe. found it and can't come to a conclusion on what fucking color I want. Damn indecisivness....
@ESPMETALLICAFAN17 The thing I like about the Black Top series is that they are so versatile and affordable and you can play any music style. $479.99 at nstuffmusic with coupon code FENDER35
Maybe a Duncan custom custom in the bridge and a JB in the neck...that would make the guitar chunk a little more but still give you a little smoothness in the neck if you wanted it.
I just got the exact same guitar, except with a rosewood fretboard.
I got home and noticed it out on my doorstep. So I brought it inside. It seems fine and all but I'm worried that it might be damaged because it was cold outside. Is there any chance the wood or anything might start changing because of the change from cold to warm heat?
@WhereBeWaldoAt You always want to let a guitar slowly warm up to room temperature in its case or gig bag before exposing it to a warmer temperature. The neck and the finish can both be affected. Feel the body first before pulling the guitar out, if the body is cold to the touch just leave it in the case for a while.
@WhereBeWaldoAt You should be good..the finish would happen immediately...the neck you should watch for warping over the next few days.....even if it does though it should be able to be adjusted.
@NaffMusic I have one for almost half a year now and am looking for a pickup upgrade, it's a great guitar for jazz, but I want more of an edge. I play through various amps and still, overall, not really satisfied with how it sounds. I want to make it sound a bit colder on the highs and harsher on the lows. What would your advice be?
I have this guitar (but black) it is honestly a great guitar with perfect action and tone variation. Fretboard feels great and bends easy like he said. Sounds great clean and on overdrive with the humbuckers, I would recommend it to anyone! ;)
@NstuffMusic Mhm i see. And can you somehow theoretically tell me the difference between maple and rosewood fretboard? It seems that the maple is bit quackier than the rosewood and the rw has more bite and bass. Which wood is better for funk, ska, punk, hardcore and that kind of stuff?
Mark is an awesome guitarist. Really sells it well. I've watched all these videos and now I just can't decide which blacktop I want! It's gonna be down to cosmetic preference, as they all as sound amazing as the next!
I was looking for a guitar in the Fender Blacktop series and I'm eyeballing the currently Blacktop Tele. Is it possible to swap the stock humbuckers for Gibson or any other type of humbuckers, or are they not the same sizes?
@MrJamessmithmusic Hmmmmm....tough comparison. They are way different in the respect of the LP is a set neck design and a bolt on not a bolt on neck like the tele. A set neck will always have more gusto and sustain. But the tele does a great job!
I want to ask what would be a good Fender guitar that would have a mild country sound and make it sound like the band Blur (if you've heard of them)? I really need help! Thanks :)
I just opened one up to verify the wiring. The pick up are only a two wire design so coil tapping is not possible. You could always change the picks out for something that is tappable.
Can you tell me, im looking for a versitile guitar... Is this a good guitar, for more heavy settings? I love the way this guitar plays... so smooth its angels singing.
Hey, I am planning on buying a Tele and I think this may be love at first sight. Do you ship this to Istanbul, Turkey? How much would it cost, everything included?
@SvenneSvennePelle The cool thing about the Blacktop series is they are very versatile and can play most styles of music. $419.99 at nstuff music with coupon code.
@soultosqueeze68 dude go with a 500 blacktop jazzmaster! My band plays grunge also and i'm getting one. just change the neck pickup if ya want to a humbucker. Its a great deal man. But def. a jazzmaster bt or a strat.
Is it soft for bends...say using .09 gauge?? I'm between this and a Schecter omen 6 extreme but the Omen has 14 radius, and this 9.5? right?? does it blends alright anyway??
We do have a full-time, highly skilled, luthier who has many years of experience under his belt. Not only does he handle all of the repair/restoration work here, but he also builds the MC Custom guitars you may have seen being demonstrated here on Youtube. The approximate cost to install 2 pickups in a solidbody guitar would be around $50 plus parts.
I would like to purchase this guitar and replace the humbuckers with SD P-90 Phat Cats. Does NStuffMusic have a licensed technician to do so ? If so then how much would the shop cost for that specific service ?
Which guitar is better???? this fender blacktop telecaster or a LTD EC 256 AVG, I play classic rock, hardrock- GLAm, and im undecided yet which one to buy
@Remoraisdead Sorry to make this more difficult but the are similar in quality. I would go with whatever one you like the look of better. The only other thing is the Fender would be easier to resale if you ever wanted to sale it.
Hello, I'm about to get a new guitar I'm really into the Muse sound style. I'm a bit confusing between the blacktop telecaster and blacktop jaguar, they have the same pickups and switch positions. I really love the shape of the jaguar but it has a smaller scale my hands aren't so big so I don't know if it would be a problem. But I'm wondering if the smaller scale will change the sound or it will sounds like the telecaster. Which one you would choose for Muse musics?
@k0ldan The Jaguar will sound a little fuller because of the body size. The smaller scale is better for someone with short hands the frets are closer together. $419.99 at nstuffmusic with coupon code.
Hey, I own a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson ES-355. I recently decided to get another guitar and I'm looking for something a bit more aggressive. After a lot of searching I decided I should get a Telecaster... What I would like to know is:
What are the pros/cons of the Blacktop Telecaster in comparison with the standard one? And also, I want something completely new and I don't want it to sound just like my Strat. In general, is the difference between Teles and Strats that notable?
@Norkross The Blacktop Tele is not your typical Tele it has high output humbuckers they are alot more aggressive than the typical single coil pickups. The Blacktop will be alot more aggressive and fuller than your Strat.
i like your reviews on guitars, very detailed info on the description, a wide demo on the pick-ups. please reply to me if you have time to explain how to get that overdrive tune. is it from the amp (if so please tell me what kind of amp it is) or is it a seperate pedal triggered effect (please tell me that one too if it is) i am considering buying a Blk Tp Jazzmstr or Jaguar or a Mustang (my hands are small though, i need to check the guitars in person) thank you for the nice review! ^^
@grengoism You might want to look into either the Blacktop model seen in this video or the Standard (Mexican-made, that is) model if you're looking for a low price without low quality. If you have more money, the American Deluxe model would be ideal and they feature S-1 switching which gives you more tonal options. Of course, you really can't go wrong with a Fender...you should still always try any guitar before you buy it though and give it a look over. You never know if one's been damaged!
I can honestly say that I see the point of the blacktop series, I have 2 fenders myself. One thing I cant say is that I understand what Gibson has done with the whole new 'firebird x' and other projects done recently.
Pretty much set on getting this guitar, but my band plays a mixture of heavier stuff mixed with lots of ambient/ delay/ reverb parts as well. I know this is perfect for the ambient parts, but could I replace one of the pick ups with an emg to have a mixture of that tele tone and the high gain emg tone?
@GiantBlackWomen I wouldn't suggest mixing a active pickup with a passive pickup. I would put a hotter passive pickup in the bridge or replace both pickups with EMG 81 and a 85.
@NstuffMusic I dont think I want to put two emg's on it, I think it would ruin the tele tone that I want. What kind of passive pick up would you recommend for more gain?
Would this guitar be good for a heavy metal tone such as metallica, megadeth, pantera...etc. with its stock pickups?
bigbirdoncrack12 5 days ago
@bigbirdoncrack12 It could handle it. They are not super high output pickups but they crunch nicely!

Of course, you really can't go wrong with a Fender...you should still always try any guitar before you buy it though and give it a look over. You never know if one's been damaged!

Do you think this guitar is the best of the blacktop series for playing both jazz and rock?

@panchoojam Yes, it would work well for both styles of music.

I can honestly say that I see the point of the blacktop series, I have 2 fenders myself. One thing I cant say is that I understand what Gibson has done with the whole new 'firebird x' and other projects done recently.

Is this guitar good for playing the versatility of punk to soul?

Pretty much set on getting this guitar, but my band plays a mixture of heavier stuff mixed with lots of ambient/ delay/ reverb parts as well. I know this is perfect for the ambient parts, but could I replace one of the pick ups with an emg to have a mixture of that tele tone and the high gain emg tone?

@GiantBlackWomen I wouldn't suggest mixing a active pickup with a passive pickup. I would put a hotter passive pickup in the bridge or replace both pickups with EMG 81 and a 85.

@NstuffMusic I dont think I want to put two emg's on it, I think it would ruin the tele tone that I want. What kind of passive pick up would you recommend for more gain?

@GiantBlackWomen You might want to check out the Dimarzio D Activator Bridge pickup and keep the stock neck pickup that would be cool.

That guitar is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Is it wrong that I want to make sweet sweet love to it?

Hi! Nice review and really nice playing
I have a question...
I wanna buy that guitar, I like it very much but... do you think it works for pro stuff or, just for beginners ?

@LuteroReforma It's not a beginner guitar. I would say intermediate to pro level.

Do you know if you can swap a standard Tele bridge right in to replace that bridge 'bucker with a normal Tele pup?

@TEHBR00TZ I'm sure you can how much work it will be I'm not sure.
NstuffMusic 1 year ago
@TEHBR00TZ Yes you can. You just need a bridge thats designed to hold a tele bridge pickup.
