Alamo Music Center: Fender American Professional II vs. American Professional Stratocaster Comparison
Chris and Cooper are back to compare the new American Professional II Stratocaster with its predecessor, the American Professional. Though the Lake Placid Blue model we're comparing here is a Limited Edition model, it's still close enough for a comparison-- these Strats differ in their necks, pickups, tremolo hardware, neck finish, fret rolling, and of course, colors. After checking out our reveal of the American Pro II line, we hope you can hear a difference between these two models.
