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.
Brilliant review, I've just been looking at the new ultra fenders but after listening to you and the tones your getting out of this strat I think I'll go for this one. Thank you
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.
Skaffet meg denne, og det er den beste gitaren jeg har spilt noensinne, utrolig komfortabel og din testvideo var ett stort bidrag gil at jeg endte med Dark Night. 😀👌👌👌
The guitar sounds really nice. The tone is 'full' and solid but organic and natural at the same time. Really nice piece of gear! Thanks for a great review 🙂
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 ❓❗
That’s great to hear! It’s an amazing guitar for sure! And the Miami Blue finish is probably the nicest one! Yes, the snow is covering everything at the moment!
@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.
Thank you very much! Actually, I haven't tried the Ultra, so I can't say for sure. But I can't imagine going wrong with the Am Pro II. Really nice guitar!
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.
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… Thanks for watching!

@@denbodg9311 Yeah, great guitars! Thanks for watching!
Love your playing you show the versatility and pure tone of this magnificent guitar. You deserve more subs.
Thank you very much! I have gained more subs this last year, but it’s a slow process. Thank you very much again!
Good demo and thanks for the wit @ 4:40 !
Thank you! Haha, glad you enjoyed it!
I want one, and plan on getting one soon, I’ve had it picked out for a while, perfect addition to the collection
Cool! I think you'll be very happy with it!
Nicely done. Looking at one of these so this was very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant review, I've just been looking at the new ultra fenders but after listening to you and the tones your getting out of this strat I think I'll go for this one.
Thank you
Thank you so much! Enjoy!
It's a visually stunning guitar. I love the dark tone to the sound. Perfect match to the appearance. Another homerun for Fender.
Yeah, it’s really sweet! Thanks for watching!
@@gitarmats I beg of Fender to put out an HH version of this very guitar.
@@davidkelter8379 That would be cool indeed!
Just got the SSH, good review.

I agree! It's really good! Thank you!
Great playing! (And the guitar’s nice, too…)

Veldig bra demo av denne Fenderen, faktisk en av de beste demoene jeg har sett! Vurderer sterkt denne gitaren og fargen 🤤😄👍
Tusen takk for det! Setter stor pris på det!
Go for it! Knallgitar!
😀🤘👍👍
Awesome demo. How was the noise under higher gain?
Thank you! From my experience it was good! I used this one only at home though, so I did not try it on a loud stage.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much for the kind words! Yes, it’s a great guitar!
we have the same guitar mine and the mercuri color
Cool! Great guitars! Thanks for watching!
@@gitarmats it's a pleasure
Would be nice to hear what amp was used for this demo
@@ALAINBEM I used the amp model Brit 800 in the Axe Fx 2 for this video. That’s essentially a Marshall JCM 800. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Love ur playing man.. Whatis ur opinion on the American ultra and which is better according to u? This or the ultra?
Thank you very much! Actually, I haven't tried the Ultra, so I can't say for sure. But I can't imagine going wrong with the Am Pro II. Really nice guitar!
Nice tone!! What Amp Simulation did you use in this review?
Thank you very much! I used the Axe Fx 2! I’ve upgraded to Axe Fx 3 Turbo now though.
tasty
Thank you!
If Bat Man played a guitar, this would be it.
@@donmunson4802 Haha! Yes! 🦇

Great guitar, but waaaay too expensive for what it is.
I got it at a bargain price on the used market, luckily! Thanks for watching!
For a second I thought your were in an ALS chair
Haha, luckily not! Just good old IKEA. Actually the best chair for guitar playing I’ve ever found.
Thanks for watching!
@@gitarmats haha It does look like a comfortable guitar chair.
Awesome demo!
@@johnsmith-ug5tp Thanks again!
