I find the American pro 2 Strat an incredibly high quality musical instrument with no faults whatsoever . Everything about it is so good. I also have an American performer strat which is a beautiful instrument with its own unique sound and feel. I have a player Strat which is a good instrument . I went with Miami blue as it looked quite unique. I originally liked dark knight after seeing it on KZitem videos lol look good stunning but when seeing it in shop found it to be much darker more like black in darker rooms ie without a spotlight shining on it . I found Miami blue colour to be better than expected from videos . Very nice Alamo videos helped me choose - I don’t live in the USA . But these fender guitars are so cool.

If you have any gear that you don't need sell or turn them in, also you can talk to a rep and most times they'll drop the price by a hundred or two. So you can pick one up for around $1.3k and then whatever you get for selling your old stuff.

I'm guessing the supply of ash is being impacted by ash die-back, which is blighting a lot of the ash trees here in the UK and may be doing so in the US too. What is 'pine' anyway? It's a whole family of trees, not just one species. Everything from Sitka spruce to Scots pine to Lebanese and Himalayan cedar is pine!

I like to top load a tele. Because then the strings don't go through a dramatic angle change. So the strings don't really ever break. Plus I am of the opinion, and I've never heard this anywhere but it just makes sense to me, that a top loader actually resonates the bridge itself, adding to the ballsyness of the bridge pickup in the form of microphonic juice.

I bought this kind of strat and it’s a amazing guitar. However they come with 0,09- 0,42 and the string heights are very closed to the fingerboard. I’m thinking of changing the string sets to hybrid 0,09- 0,46 anyone tried those? And how set the strings a bit higher or more inclined on the 3 lower strings ? Great video!
