Fender Blacktop Telecaster HH demo – Damon Chivers @ Nevada Music UK
Get this Tele here… www.nevadamusic.co.uk Every now and then the usually conservative Fender designers kick loose and decide to hot-rod one of their standard models to add a little glitz and glamour – After all when everyone else is saying that the design of the original Telecaster is so perfect that it would be a crime to change it – How can you better the original …? The answer of course is not to change it – just to give it a new suit or a new haircut, which I beleive is what Fender have done with the new Blacktop series – inside it’s still the great instrument that it used to be, yet on the outside it’s had a contemporary make over to bring it up to date – so just who was it that said you can’t play heavy Metal on a Telecaster … ? The Blacktop Telecaster HH is a no-nonsense dual-Humbucker Tele that’ll impress the hell out of you without breaking the bank. Twin Vintage-style Fender Blacktop Alnico humbucking pickups deliver the hot high-gain power of today’s most aggressive sounds. Other distinctive touches include skirted black amp knobs, a reversed control plate and a vintage-style hard-tail bridge with six grooved saddles for optimum string alignment. The Blacktop Telecaster HH features include an Alder body, Rosewood 9.5″-radius fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, a gloss urethane finish, and Nickel/Chrome hardware.

i got this one. its? really a nice guitar but the bridge is not that good. can you put a t-style humbucker bridge on these guitars ?
@Lesterr96 +1 on that! Although, you might as well? just get a ’72 Deluxe then.
Whats a nice amp to play with? this guitar?
if only Fender could use those large 70′s headstock on? these….
I have this guitar for 3 months and half and I luv it is beautiful guitar i chose this color candy apple red with rosewood fretboard I cant I’m geting a? fender American Standard or deluxe Stratocaster
Just bought myself one of these the other day.? Sounds and plays like a DREAM.
Does this guitar scream John 5? Even though he uses a different Tele… or? is it just me?
does it come? with a hardcase
@DeltyBoy Well, it has humbuckers, which is half? the job done. I guess what you need is just to tweak the tone well enough to reach that level of distortion. Or if you have an extra hundred quid lying around, change the pickups to active ones.
I’ve loved Telecasters for the longest time, but I would have? had to send it for extensive modification to fit humbuckers in because I play heavy music. Then Jim Root of Slipknot started using Teles with humbuckers and eventually released and thought I’d get his signature series, but I am against signature series lol. Then this came out and IT IS SUCH A BLESSING.
Hey would you guys happen to know the output on those humbuckers? Can’t? seem to find the info anywhere
@MrHuntForGame you and me both, one i get one of these im gonna find a tele pickup in it so its an hs or sh model not sure which one? yet
@lucradiste Exactly the same
I wish this guitar had the standard Telecaster bridge pickup. I love the sound of it in my Squire (which I found, win!). ?
I have the fender Blacktop Telecaster Candy apple Red with rosewood fret board i luv too play my telecaster i have a best 2 telecaster I have i luv my? Telecaster i have a fender telecaster Blacktop and fender Telecaster standard I luv my guitar specially i cover my own music
@DeltyBoy you said’ and other screamo bands’ you can’t say ‘and? other’ if you didnt name any.. and you idiot.. bullet for my faggottine is not even screamo.. PG.99 is screamo, and city of caterpillar.. learn your genres.. just because a band screams, doesnt make it screamo.
you fail at trying to make me look fail.
@Who88y read carefuly i said heavy metal bands like pantera and killswitch engage and other screamo bands like BulletForMyValantine lol you? failed at troll
I have a question. I’ve been looking into Teles for a long, long time, and when I found out? about the HH version, I became split. Coming from a Punk rocker, I’ve? always wanted a chance to rock out on a Humbucker, and with the amount of treble the Tele puts out would just be amazing. But because its a HH set up, do I lose that classic treble vibe or does it still retain that Tele sound?
@DeltyBoy pantera and killswitch engage aren’t fucking screamo band, you? ignorant peice of crap.
Well I really love my Standard Tele – but I would like a fatter sound as well and this Blacktop HH sounds like it. Maple? fretboard? It would be interesting to see one compared against a Gibson SG – although the cheapest 2PU SG is about £600 against the Fender £450.
so this guitar is good for blues and jazz and rock from what ive seen and its allso for metal but my? quistion is if that guitar good enough to play heavy metal like pantera killswitch engage and other screamo bands
I hated telecasters too, but when I? knew that my fav solo ‘stairway to heaven’ was made with one, my view started to change, same with stratos and my eddie van halen style practicing
@lucradiste Exactly how I felt and now I’m most likely gonna get this guitar.?
I got a blacktop HH black on black two months ago and it has reignited my love of? playing. It really is a fun guitar to play. It feels and plays like a guitar three times its price. great fun.
good review? mate.
