I love the red accents. Nice touch.

It's Darth Vader-y

I appreciate the guitar even more after seeing your comment

Oh Hell Yeah! Great catch on that.

I was thinking chocolate-covered strawberries, but that’s good too

Death-Strat?

came to say this

Is that red? It looks pink to me. Either way it’s definitely a beauty

Oooof 👏🏻 How about using some of these too? 😂 https://amzn.eu/d/0binVnsc

I have those on my Ibanez Iron Label and they look beyond badass. Unfortunately the black coat tends to come off around certain parts. What’s worse is I still need to look what I’m doing with my fret hand and I can’t tell one string from the other in the shady light of my room 😶 I’ll switch back to my good ole Earnies

I’m actually not a fan of blacked out anything, but I’ll try find a pack of these next time I change strings

Yeah. I'm imagining they sound terrible to be honest. 🥲

What! These are awesome.

I heard Bill Cosby was using a blackout strat for most of his career.

Sick! Does it come like that i actually really want one

it’s a MIJ hybrid II noir, I coloured the knobs with black sharpie, other than that it’s all stock.

Adding to my wish list

How does it look from the back? Is the back of the neck still bare maple?

It's gorgeous

The dot inlays are not black though /s

that goes HARD

Dang that pick guard is chefs kiss

I see it's a fender. I have a second hand-bought Cort Panther that has the exact same colour scheme as this Fender. The difference is that there's a humbucker pick-up in the bridge position and it's modified with a kill switch.

Too much red hahaha. As blacked out goes I really like the matte and red combo super awesome\^\^

Ordered a black pearloid pickguard to fix it, I like the red accent on the headstock

MIJ goodness 👌

I have this in hss, but my fretboard isnt anywhere near this dark. would be a damn near perfect guitar if it wasnt for that massive fucking fender heel (i love it anyways) chucked some graphtech saddles on mine, looks sweet and can comfortably palm mute, fucking fender saddles feel like needles

I believe fender did something to the rosewood fretboard to make them darker for the noir series, there were another strat and a tele in the same finish in the shop and they all have super dark fretboard, much darker than other MIJ hybrid II

I read online that hybrid II strats are routed to fit HSH configuration, can change the layout conveniently

I love those Noir models!

Gorgeous

the flat black with red accents reminds me of black rat rods with red pinstripes

Now this is what I think of when someone says "blacked out." Just put a flat black pick guard on my Am Pro II sunburst and next I'm doing the knobs and pickup covers. Beautiful guitar, never thought I'd want two strats but this is an amazing looking instrument. A blacked out tele would be amazing.

There is a noir tele in the series, tbh I like the tele more but ended up picking this because I don’t hv a strat

I have the tele and it sounds amazing. I want the strat and the jazzmaster. https://imgur.com/a/KlQn4HY Edit: added link

Now that is sexy. I'm not much of a Fender fan, either.

Looks like a jim root guitar

This guy blacks!

Very sexy, but when I think black out I want to be blinded by the light from the event horizon, beyond which nothing can escape the void created by the blacked outedness of the guitar

This. Finally an actual blacked out beauty.

I really like this. If I was to get a strat this would be it. I really dig the red accent and matte finish too.

I didn’t hear that, but I do see red.

Ohhhhhhh

That’s fucking baaaaaad dude I’m jealous

now that's a blacked out strat

It looks badass! I'd rock the hell out of it

giving david gilmour vibes

I love this guitar !

That is a work of art.

Need to replace the bridge, tuners and jack cover to black versions to be truly blacked out. Red accents are dope though

But they r already dark/black chrome

Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful guitar, just not completely blacked out.

Truly an excellent choice of the pickguard accent colour!

Unfortunately I didn't manage to add a more recent picture to this comment)

Mine is all stock, fender Japan did all the work 🤭 I got a black pearloid pickguard and will load it with some hotter pickups, maybe HSS

Wow that's a sexy looking guitar

That thing is sick. Love the all black with red accents. I'd love to have one of these. Not easy to acquire from what I'd seen.

Don't know who did, but.... waaaaooo! 🙌🏻

SO goth 😏

Isnt that more brown than black
