2019 Fender American Professional Stratocaster
FIRST OF ALL PLEASE WATCH MY LONG REVIEW VIDEO WITH THIS BEAUTY: https://youtu.be/YWKHkwkK74E
Fender renamed the well known American Standard range to American Professional as they developed and introduced a lot of great features! First of all the well known pickup guru Tim Shaw created a new set of “V-Mod” pickups, these are high output but very vintage sounding Alnico II / III / V pickups so different magnets at different positions. The guitar sounds absolutely great and more importantly they sound equally good across the neck (no dead or quieter notes etc…)
New “Deep C” neck shape. It’s not deep and not chunky at all, it just feels more “natural” for the hand. It’s still a thin neck.
Other new features: narrow tall frets, pop-in tremolo arm, bone nut, Elite Hardcase and my favourite new feature: Treble bleed circuit! It’s amazing! You can turn the volume down (for cleaning up the amp) and the guitar doesn’t lose any presence or treble!!! Awesome!
This beauty has been played, it has one little ding at around the bottom edge of the guitar (I’m clearly showing it on the video and photos), but apart from that ding it’s in great condition! It comes with its original hardcase, certificate, hang tags (please watch the video, I’m showing all of these! )
Prices are crazy on these, with most of these with asking prices over £1100++ Get this one for much less! Actually that ding and the “played in” condition makes this cheaper than a new Mexican or Japanese Strat…
