I thought CS sounded a bit spankier, clearer, and overall hotter than the AVII. No wonder, the pickups are different. Both are great. With the CS the value has to do more with provenance and the cost of hands-on labor, but is it twice as good because it is twice as expensive? Of course not. Whenever possible, let your hands decide, not the label on the headstock.

I dont understand. Usually hotter sounding guitars/pickip eill sound darker, fatter, so less spanky and less clear. Which is it? I thought they sounded the same thru youtube tbh

Somehow I found both guitars to sound way too dark and woofy in this demo. I’ve played the AVII and Fender Custom Shop Teles with hand-wired Texas Specials in the past and hadn’t found this to be the case so I imagine it’s something to with the amp setup. I would really love to hear this comparison done again with an amp better suited to showing off the Telecaster’s virtues (bite and clarity) like a Fender or a Vox.

It's darker because of how he had the mics set up

This video just makes everyone want a CS. 😂 I think they both sound great the CS sounds better, but that could just be those pickups.

It's the cheaply feeling fretboard on the American VII that is a turn off for me... I've heard stories of people buying the V2 and the fretboard having some sort of black stain on them that got on their hands. For $2,200 the fretboard should be at least naturally dark in my opinion and high quality. Might as well get a used custom shop(best of both worlds and you just pay an extra grand for quality). I owned a V2 Strat sold it because it wasn't as good as my PRS silver sky(American) needed a setup and there was buzzing everywhere. -Bottom line my recommendation buy the Fender MIM Vintera 2 Series Strat or Tele's. Basically same parts and everything but you are saving a grand and getting the same level of quality and sound.

@@rogerYT69 Same here. The fretboard has a beautiful grain, high quality, and no stain or anything weird in the slightest.

Do the american vintage happen to have sharp fret edges sometimes, anyone experienced this?
