COMMENTS
Replaced by Carved Top Strat HSS and Carved Top Strat HH
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
The Carved Top Strat's highly-figured bookmatched maple top and internal electronics are proof positive that it's not just for show. This guitar has the stuff and looks gorgeous to boot! Features: Ash body with carved, highly figured flame maple top, lightly-figured maple neck, Deluxe tremolo, two Texas Special single coils, one seymour Duncan double-screw JB humbucker.
