That’s a beautiful sound on the professional.. nice and warm, not too thin

[@glassslide]

Great job by Tim Shaw on the V-Mod pickups, they sound amazing!

[@alexmcmurtrieSits]

The V Mod pickups sound great.

[@danielhartman5086]

I Love it. Ordering 1 tomorrow from Sweetwater. Tobacco Sunburst with Rosewood fretboard.

[@ivanmaguina4974]

In the Fender Stratocaster HSS, in the position 2 (bridge + middle) the humbucker pickup is split?

I have a 2001 American standard strat. I love it, but I always wished it had a fatter neck for better hold and support. This guitar feels like it answered a lot of people's "wants" in a strat. I will always favor the 60's 7.25 neck profile though. That thing is pure heaven. Good job fender! I now feel like my standard strat has an antique vibe to it which is a nice feeling.

[@malloc_01]

Very. Nice review TY

[@ElmerFerrer]

Is the strings spacing on the bridge of the American Professional the same as the American Standard?

[@giantmoose777]

What a fantastic review - absolutely sensational. Great work.

[@amarmot3635]

Like this guy. A real pro with great personality.

[@simonmcc3608]

Great review. A good balance of playing and information.

[@donmunson4802]

I know it's all personal, but I've been playing both Standards and Professional for a couple years now, and there's really not a lot of difference in them. I do prefer the Fat50's over the V-mods, although both are typically versatile pickups.

[@stevegreen3442]

Bought one, they are amazing. Thanks for the awesome review.

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks for watching!

[@uria702]

I think the fat 50s sounded better but the neck on these are absolutely awesome

[@pradhumnamainali]

it sounds amazing....which amp is he using?

[@computerhackingskill]

It's a Fender Bassbreaker 15, really versatile, great sounding 15w valve combo.

[@mpalin11]

An excellent review and demo! Thank you!

[@javiceres]

And now... A Jazzmaster Pro !!! :)

[@BrawlHex]

Should I pop a treble bleed into my 2017 pro?

[@richardlecomte6839]

2017 pro already has one

[@Durberville1]

That is a really good review , top work

[@gregorybeavins4182]

My pro is an Olympic white lefty model. Carrying it in the case is a reai Olympic event.

[@paulmartin8737]

where can I get this chords and study this kind of music.? It exist a book or a course with good rifts? Thank you for the video. I will buy a HSS Shawbucker A.P.

[@Hendrik46562]

What kind of amp do you use here?

[@KunalSinghMusic]

Does the 3 tone sunburst come with a mint green pickguard?

[@Boldfacechimp]

Kunal Singh yep I have one

[@javiceres]

Very nice review :)

[@overkill2006]

are the v mods noiseless?

[@Mistershredd]

No.

[@Boldfacechimp]

Great review

[@marklorenfahey4942]

Great info! Thanks mate from across the pond here in San Francisco California. I just bought the HH Shumbucker Olympic White. Picking it up today, can wait to plug er up! I subbed yer channel. :) Cheers

[@vincedipietro6685]

Gotta justify the jump in price somehow. I get the impression that Fender is also trying to significantly reduce its inventory (using up existing bodies and fewer colors). Check out the new Tele (looks like a Mexican body and parts).

[@brandonb2623]

I don't like the color scheme as much this year. The 2016 colors were awesome

[@shirtsguitar]

Good review :)

[@foxxygearreviews7754]

Great review. The neck feels a little different butt otherwise it feels and sounds pretty similar. I'm not sure I could tell blindfolded whether I was playing last year's standard or this year's professional.

[@MrSiddhardta]

American special is more of a real US standard these days. More similar to the first standards from 1987.

[@thenumber2356]

MrSiddhardta how so?

[@MrSiddhardta]

TheNumber23 The satin finish maple neck also on front. Modern c fast neck profile. Same tuners as the first US standards. More of a "no nonsense strat".

[@thenumber2356]

MrSiddhardta Do you prefer them over the modern ones?

[@MrSiddhardta]

TheNumber23 Yes! A retro strat look with smart modern features. Put some favorite pickups in it.

[@thenumber2356]

MrSiddhardta Nice! Whats your favorite pickup?

[@davidmusselwhite547]

I didn't like the new strats. The pickups do not sound good and the tall frets makes it sound out of tune because I play hard. So I sent mine back

[@robertkrykant4591]

It’s 2021 and the tuning stability on the Stratocaster is awful, across the whole range, locking tuners don’t help much either, unacceptable.

[@turlockhammer3872]

I am thinking about buying one soon, its the only model fender in olive. Are you saying it will not stay in tune? Thanks

[@robertkrykant4591]

Turlock Hammer - make sure before you buy any Stratocaster that you play it, bend the strings, use the tremolo arm (vibrato) if it isn’t fitted ask for for it. Take a tuner with you if you can. The first few times it goes out of tune the staff might say its new strings don’t fall for that one. If it doesn’t stay in tune in store it won’t stay in tune at home or gigging unless you have it ‘repaired’ by a tech, but you shouldn’t have to do that. Play it first is crucial. I’m looking to buy a Strat, I’ve had them before and I’m not going to end up with another that’s unreliable. Good luck, let me know how you get on, all the best

[@jordanpratt9384]

My 2003 American strat never ever goes out of tune.I can go two weeks without touching it,or play it for an hour and all is well.

[@philippe31881]

je regrette les FAT 50's

[@rubentrevino6288]

to me its the same old shit from fender, repackaged tripe over again, not impressed,

[@tomthx5804]

They wanted to justify increasing prices by 100-200

[@multipipi1234]

Better than that Alamo guy
