The Story

Music Zoo Exclusive Hardtop Stratocaster Double-Humbucker Electric Guitar Black Cherry Burst

So, the Hardtop is the Zoo’s own take on the Super Strat concept, as made by the source! They’re distinguished by having very vintage-like Bare Knuckle Mule humbucker pickups, and the guitars are available in one- or two-pickup models. You’ll also notice that these guitars are built without pickguards, hence the name Hardtop; all electronics are rear-loaded through the instrument’s back. This Hardtop example, finished in a gorgeous Black Cherry Burst, has two pickups that each have independent volume controls and one master tone control. A heavy-duty three-way toggle switch is used as the pickup selector.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Strap, Cable, Custom Care Kit, Paperwork, Certificate of Authenticity
