in-DePth: Like its cousin, the Jazzmaster®, the Fender® Jaguar found new life from the mid-1970s onward among gifted and innovative guitarists who prized it for its shorter scale, tonal versatility and sheer individuality. A popular modification was to swap out its single-coil pickups for humbucking pickups that delivered thicker, more powerful sound.

That modern tonal tradition is built into Fender’s new Blacktop Jaguar HH guitar. Sleek and supercharged, it’s powered by a pair of over-wound alnico humbucking pickups for heavy high-gain tone. Distinctive touches include skirted black amp knobs, a slinky 24” scale, Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with stop tailpiece and a lean control layout featuring a tonally convenient single three-way toggle switch. Other features include an alder body, maple neck with 9.5”-radius rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, gloss polyester finish and chrome hardware.

in-DePth: When Stratocaster players want to exchange the guitar’s classic sparkling clean tone for full-throated thickness and high-gain roar, their favorite way to do it is to mod their beloved Strat® guitars with humbucking pickups.

That’s the idea behind Fender’s new Blacktop Stratocaster HH guitar. Streamlined and amped up, it delivers heavy high-gain tone from its dual over-wound alnico humbucking pickups. Other features include skirted black amp knobs, synchronized tremolo bridge, alder body, maple neck with 9.5”-radius rosewood or maple fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, gloss polyester finish and chrome hardware.

in-DePth: There is a certain kind of Telecaster player who reveres the instrument for its archetypal design and crisp signature sound, yet seeks to cover even wider sonic ground. To get thicker, full-bodied power, many players have modified their Telecaster guitars with humbucking pickups.

Fender’s new Blacktop Telecaster HH guitar has that sound and power—and more. It features dual over-wound alnico humbucking pickups that deliver hot high-gain sound. Distinctive touches include skirted black amp knobs, a reversed chrome control plate and a hard-tail bridge. This Tele® also features an alder body, maple neck with 9.5”-radius rosewood or maple fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, gloss polyester finish and chrome hardware.

in-DePth: The Jazzmaster found renewed popularity from the mid-1970s onward among new generations of sonically adventurous and highly creative guitarists. One of their favorite modifications was to complement the round tone of the single-coil neck pickup by adding a humbucking pickup in the bridge position for powerful and heavy tone.

Fender’s new Blacktop Jazzmaster HS guitar gives you exactly that and more. Sleek and supercharged, it has a Duncan Designed™

single-coil Jazzmaster neck pickup and a high-gain humbucking bridge pickup, with other distinctive touches including skirted black amp knobs, a Jazzmaster tremolo tailpiece and a lean control layout featuring a tonally convenient single three-way toggle switch. Other features include an alder body, maple neck with 9.5”-radius rosewood fretboard, 21 medium jumbo frets, gloss polyester finish and chrome hardware.
