MGR/Laura ThorntonFender Showmaster Blackout
Published on 05/26/05 at 15:00I acquired this sweet guitar at a local guitar shop called Gulia's Music in Canton, Ohio. I paid $499.99. I had no intentions whatsoever of buying a new guitar that day, but it just stood out. It's a beautiful sight. It seemed too good of a deal to pass up. And, its been a pleasure to own.
The entire guitar is black. My personal favorite color. (Note the name "Blackout".)With the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker, it has a pure heavenly tone. It's also very lightweight and comfortable for high-end reach.
As I am usually a diehard Gibson fan, I prefer two tone and two volume controls, which this guitar only has one of each.

The 2 point whammy though it isnt floating stays in perfect tune. The tuners are locking. The electronics are equipped with a reverse wound Seymour Duncan, 59 in the neck position. And, a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker in the bridge. The neck is set and the fretboard has 24 frets easily accessible with no silly fretboard markers. There is also a graphite nut and most importantly everything about the guitar is solid black.
I couldn't have asked for a better deal. I'm very pleased with my purchase, it has all the features I'd normally receive with a high-end guitar. It's probably the best Fender I've ever owned. It has a style all its' own.

SOUNDS
The blackout is oriented Metal. it sounds remarkably well in the most by
configurations. But I play on a small amp (marshall MG10cd) with multi purpose (korg AX1500G) sounds come out very well.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had nine months, she is really beautiful and it sounds good.
The value for money is exelllent.
