COMMENTS
Replace Carved Top Stratocaster
According to Fender catalogs the humbucking pickup was a Seymour Duncan JB, although it actually had two rows of fillister screws like the Seymour Duncan Allan Holdworth signature pickup.
FENDER SAYS
A highly figured book-matched maple top adorns the new Carved Top Strat. Select woods combined with your choice of two pickup combinations make the Carved Top Strat the ultimate in form and function. Features include a swamp ash body with carved maple top, figured maple neck, Sperzel Trim-lok machine heads, LSR roller nut, 22-frets and Fender Deluxe 2-point synchronized tremolo. The HSS model features two Texas Special single-coils and one Seymour Duncan JB humbucker.
The HH model has all the features of the Carved Top Strat HSS but with dual chrome covered Seymour Duncan humbuckers and special switching.
Fender tweed case included.
