I think it's just the same pickups but without the covers on them. Though I have to say, the covered pickups look sweet on the Blacktop. The uncovered ones look good as well though. If it was that much of a dealbreaker, you could always swap them for covered Duncans or something. The price of the Floyd version is a bit higher but there's different hardware needed for a Floyd compared to a vintage trem. It's a nicely hotrodded version of a Strat and it looks great. Shame there's no maple board version for the Floyd version.
On a different note, I wish Fender UK sold bodies, necks and parts like they do on the US site. I would love to build myself a white Precision with a maple/maple neck, some nice passive pickups and a mirror guard. Essentially a Steve Harris Precision but without the INSANE price tag.
if it were me I'd go for the tele instead

no tremolo but those are for faggots anyway
If I'm tuning my guitar to drop A tuning should I get a thicker 6th string?

Unless you are an incredibly light handed player than yes, I have been able to go to at least drop C with a 10-46 set and be able to play relatively in tune. But ever since I switched to a 10-52 set I can go down to drop B and wail pretty good on the strings without too many issues. I know people can only switch out their low E with a .60 and play fine but I need all the bass strings to be a little thicker.
some dude on omegle sent me this video of his band, he's the bassist.

thought it was pretty sick
I need at least 12s for standard tuning and even those feel sloppy to my gorilla hands. I use 13s on my own guitars

I think you can't split the coils with tele and tremolo is still optional on strat, you can dismount it and add springs at the back and you get static bridge.

There is also the Fender Jaguar Blacktop.

My G string is buzzing at the tuning peg, I thought it was hitting another peg, but its the peg itself buzzing, possibly, since I took the string off and put it on again, turned the other way.
Should I replace the peg(s)? It's not really a problem unless I'm playing the string open.
It might just be that the bushing has come loose. Tends to happen over time, I've had it happen to bass tuning pegs.

Maybe they hose it down with Tinactin afterwards to remove the proglodyte fungi.

trust me, shave it off
how embarrassing
It's actually not so bad in person. It could be worse, like some of the guys i see at college with like 5-6 hairs that actually show, looking like a basketball with some black-ass hairs sticking out
But as of right now i've been growing it out a bit and shaving it, so it grows in thicker.
Plus i wanted your opinions on it because i haven't be around any girl or guy in almost a month that can give me an honest opinion.

trust me if the beard comes off you won't have that problem anymore
You kinda look like a child with fake facial hair attached, it's like oh noh.
Well I did shave it off. I don't have anything but stubble now. I haven't had it for a few weeks now.
that beard literally made me feel ill
My seven string guitar never stays in tune properly and it's really irritating.

A beard you say?!

No really, I want to cut this thing off but my straight razor is dull. I gotta go to school looking like this... I ended up with brown hair, black eyebrows, and a red/brown beard...

Don't grow facial hair until you know it covers most of your lower face, I have the same problem although it makes me look 5 years older at least and I'm 22 years old.

Maybe it's the tuners in your headstock being loose?
Eh, I can't be arsed to get all the parts to rewire my les paul, how much would it normally cost a store to do it for me? I don't want to get ripped off.

Normally it's quite expensive best if you check out luthiers all around for the pricing, it's still best to pay good money if the luthier is good, doing it in store might rip you off.
