and HH means humbucker humbucker

No, I don't know what tuff means, who uses what?

[Gunner Recall]

I get the thread now, anywho

Blacktop I'm guessing because each model comes in black with a blackguard (and most of the non-black finishes have black guards)
...though some of the strats have white guards and the JM has a mint guard.

Guess fender didn't really think that one through.
HH as mentioned just means humbucker+humbucker pickup configuration

I think the OP was saying that the Blacktops were "yuck" as in not good and Tuffteef though he was asking about a band whose name is Yuck.

haha Sorry man, I was just saying yuck because the blacktop jags look super bland to me.

[Cody_Pole]

Well the link on what they used for recording was still pretty cool.

[BlindtoFaith]

Blacktop is in reference to the black amp knobs.

Blacktop 'cause it sounds badass. Like you're playing on the streets.

This is the definition I will store in my brain

The blacktop jazzmaster has a humbucker in the bridge and a p90 in the neck, no rhythm circuit, and no locking trem. I dunno much about the rest of the blacktop series. I modded my bt jazzy with a gretsch style tone switch and it now has the best clean tone I've ever heard from an electric.

The hh jaguar has no trem and two humbuckers.

[Psyre]

ahhh the trem! That's what was missing!
