    I bought one immediately they came out, Dark Knight with Maple neck. Everything spot on straight from the box. The push-push tone control giving you 7 way switching is a brilliant improvement. The neck is the best Standard production Strat I’ve ever played. I also have vintage Strats with 7.25 radius & low output pickups. If that’s what you want this is not for you. The V-Mod 2 pickups took me some getting used to, but for modern sounds they are superb.

    I've owned mine over a year. It's definitely the best modern Strat IMO. Even better than the ultra models. I played them all one day at GC and was surprised how well it played and sounded vs. the ultra luxe that was $1k more.

    I love my 🇺🇸 strat . I was in the " candy" store looking for a black Mexican telecaster to modify. While I was there, I asked if they had a professional 2 telecaster and he came out with a Miami Blue ( which caught my eye) and as soon as I held it, I knew that this was my guitar.... the neck fit like a glove ‼️
    I told the guy to forget about the Mexican telecaster
    Norway got hit with a lot of snow and really cold weather ❓❗

    • @gitarmats
      @gitarmats  11 месяцев назад +2

      ​@gitarmats I originally wanted a black telecaster because I have a white strat, but when I saw that Miami Blue, I changed my mind. But I want to get a black Ibanez AZS Prestige guitar . I'm a Fender guy but the Ibanez has a nice feel to it.

    Good demo, and your playing is quite nice. Your sound on this video is excellent. I’ve watched a few demos of this guitar from big name music stores, and they suck by comparison. I have a 2022 Am Pro 2 in roasted pine with a rosewood fretboard. Great guitar, and no regrets.

    I would highly advise you try before you buy. I bought one and it had the worst fret work I've ever seen in 40 years of playing. Thinking it was just a bad one, I've tried a few more, same thing. So do not order online without a good return option. The color is gorgeous though. Neck is a great shape. But Fenders build quality across the board has fallen badly. I've given up and ordered a TA. Certainly an extreme difference but I have CS strats with issues too. Fender is slipping. Lots of these RUclips reviewers get sent a perfect example...not saying that the case here.

    • @gitarmats
      @gitarmats  6 месяцев назад

      That’s unfortunate. I had a am pro 2 tele with a bad fret too, but this strat was pretty much perfect. Kind of regret selling it. But the Tom Anderson stuff I’ve tried has been really amazing too. Wish I could try them more often.
      Just for disclosure, I bought this guitar used myself. Maybe some lucky day I’ll be sent free guitars, but not yet…
