Fender American Professional Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar Antique Olive

This is an excellent guitar, with great articulation and presence. The neck profile and frets are different than my old Strat, but just as easy to play.

I had a EJ Strat before this but it had a defect in it. I had to sent it back. The EJ was a good guitar. I intended to buy another one but they didn't have the one I was looking for. So I settled with the American professional Strat. I was very impressed with resonance unplugged but probably not as pronounced as the EJ Strat probably due to polyurethane vs the nitro cellulose. Once you start playing it though plugged in you forget about those details and just enjoy playing American professional Strat. It has a faster playing neck than the EJ and would imagine your hand would fatigue playing the EJ at a gig. The pickups sound good to me best way to describe is a blend of old school and new school sound. Distorted they sound nice and clear and soloing has good articulation and feel.the tuners are staggered and keep the guitar in tune pretty good but will replace them due to faster string change and better tuning stability especially if u plan on using the tremolo. May swap out the pickups as well eventually not because I don't like them but just to expierement. The bone nut certainly adds to the resonance and sustain and is better than synthetic materials in my opinion. Overall a good Strat that will satisfy even the most seasoned player.

Great playing, feeling, sounding guitar. An absolute pleasure to play! The modern profile neck and tall frets make it so easy to bend strings and play fast licks. Can't wait to play gigs with it. The only thing I would change on this Strat, would be for it to come with locking tuners stock, which I immediately retrofitted as soon as I got the guitar.

I've been wanting to get one of these guitars since they first released a couple years back. I finally got mine today! The neck on this guitar plays effortlessly, whether it's chords or soloing, you feel what you're playing, without straining your hand and wrist. The pickups are responsive and clear, and the tone is simply beyond this planet. I settled on the Sienna Sunburst finish, and it is gorgeous to put it kindly. That beautiful grain from the ash body is undeniably cool! The molded hard shell case is rock solid, and it looks like it'll protect the guitar nicely. I'm so happy I bought this guitar! She's a definite keeper!!!

I love just about everything on this strat- The shape and profile of the neck suits me well. I play it for my own entertainment.

I use it to practice & for small venue gigs.Also, jammin with friends
