Fender AM Pro II Strat MN MBL

The guitar arrived in its case. The tremolo was leaning forward so I had to tighten up the springs to make it level. I also had to set the string action to my taste because it was too low. Other than that everything else was just perfect. The guitar is a Fender classic with a few new twists like narrow tall frets, pop-In tremolo arm and cold rolled steel block, push-push function of the second tone control for activating the neck pickup in switch positions one and two, treble bleed circuit that maintains highs when reducing volume, crisp, clear sounding pickups and fingerboard rolled edges to name a few. The color of the guitar is magnificent. Supreme workmanship is evident. No flaws at all. I played it for a few hours and I really loved this instrument. It's going to be my go to axe. The only thing that I feel is missing it's locking tuners. Not that the Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered tuners that come with the guitar are bad, on the contrary they are good quality tuners, but tuning stability with excessive use of the tremolo, I think it will be an issue with these tuners.

This guitar is awesome.

The colour - beautiful - no photo i have seen so far truly depicts it. it's greener than it looks in most photos and really deep. you have to see it for yourself to appreciate it.

the maple fretboard is also beautiful - glossy and really rich in colour.

the pickups are a dream - you can get the classic strat sounds out of it. with the addition of the push-push button, you're spoilt for choice tone-wise.

i really have no complaints - action was perfect for my playing style - straight out of the box. it actually was still in tune when i got it, even after having travelled so far and across 5 countries!

the hard case is really robust and excellent quality.

one word to describe the whole package - FANTASTIC!
