With its stealthy matte black finish, black pickguard, dark fingerboard and black controls, this model has an understated appearance that stands apart from more traditional Strat colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA subtle \u003cstrong\u003ered pinstripe around the edge of the pickguard\u003c\/strong\u003e provides just enough contrast to break up the all-black aesthetic without taking away from the guitar's minimalist look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a traditional SSS Stratocaster, this guitar uses an \u003cstrong\u003eHSS pickup configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining two single-coil pickups with a bridge humbucker. This makes it particularly versatile, retaining the clearer Strat-style tones of the neck and middle pickups while adding a fuller, more powerful bridge sound for distorted rhythm and lead playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional \u003cstrong\u003efive-way pickup selector\u003c\/strong\u003e is accompanied by one volume and two tone controls, providing plenty of tonal flexibility from a familiar control layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark fingerboard features understated dot position markers, while the matching dark headstock continues the blacked-out aesthetic along the full length of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA chrome \u003cstrong\u003eStrat-style tremolo bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e and chrome output jack provide some contrast against the otherwise dark hardware and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a Strat-inspired guitar that retains much of the versatility of the traditional design while offering a distinctly more aggressive contemporary appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChinese-made Stratocaster-style electric guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatte black body finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack pickguard with subtle red detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHSS pickup configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck and middle single-coil pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-way pickup selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne volume control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo tone controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDot position markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark matching headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrat-style tremolo bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome bridge and output jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-cutaway body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for rock, metal, blues, alternative and modern styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar offers something quite different from the classic sunburst Strat we just covered.

It's subtle enough that the guitar still looks almost completely black from a distance, but gives the design some additional character up close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chinese Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663607435342,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/6064\/8014\/files\/Matte-blackstrat1.jpg?v=1751616828","url":"https:\/\/chinese-guitars.com\/products\/matte-black-fender-stratocaster-style-guitar","provider":"Chinese Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
