Top load is recently being rediscovered, for it’s slinkyness. Favored by Page, Buckley and Campilongo... behind the nut bends, more resonant full chords... try it! You’ll be “in the know”!

So very good to see you Cooper. You're playing great and I am so very proud of you and the very fine musician you have become! Best to you, Mark Marty

Mr. Marty!! It’s so great to hear from you. Thank you so much, you taught me all of it! I hope you’re doing well. Hopefully we can catch up before too long.

Another great video guys; always fun and informative, cheers.

I just acquired a dark night tele and love the guitar! Fender has hit it out of the park with this series.

I’ve just bought strat in sienna sunburst color. It’s amazing! I’m happy

I love the roasted pine,would of been cool for them to put a roasted maple neck with it

This is the review that made me want to subscribe. I would love to hear some tele instrumental video all about the guitar being played and nothing else. It’s so relaxing lol

I'v bought both the Telecaster and Stratocaster HSS in this range and I love them so easy to play, I'm going to add the Telecaster Deluxe AP2 to the collection soon.

Great video guys thanks 🤙 Love these Fenders too.

Very fast review and good information !!!

Great, informative, entertaining vid. Thanks again! You guys continue to rock. Cooper should think about a pay-for-view stream, I'm in.

J.Mascis uses a topload tele to record the lead parts on most of his stuff. He is the person I thought of when I saw that. Nice feature, I will try it out for sure on mine.

Thanks for playing the maple necks!! Seems like everyone else is demo-ing the rosewood

Played the Tele in Miami blue some weeks ago in a local music store and totally fell in love with it. Since then I am thinking about getting one... But it is still a big chunk of money...

If you have any gear that you don't need sell or turn them in, also you can talk to a rep and most times they'll drop the price by a hundred or two. So you can pick one up for around $1.3k and then whatever you get for selling your old stuff.

That Miami blue color is stunning.

The push-push switch on the strat adds the neck pup to positions 1 and 2. On the tele, it switches from series to parallel when in position 2.

Yep, we asked Fender to clarify and they finally did - yesterday. ;) but that is what we figured out it was doing.

That Telecaster looks absolutely gorgeous.

Has Cooper’s playing made huge strides since he first started appearing on the channel? Because lately he has been killing it and I just don’t remember that in the beginning...

God the tone of that telecaster is almost like that guitar is telling me brother you found your tone..I just ordered the roasted pine and I’m sure I won’t regret it!

new player here, getting the Miami blue finish w that sweet maple neck for my birthday, thanks for the vid

A year later. Did you get the birthday Strat? How goes your guitar journey so far? Cheers!

I find the American pro 2 Strat an incredibly high quality musical instrument with no faults whatsoever . Everything about it is so good. I also have an American performer strat which is a beautiful instrument with its own unique sound and feel. I have a player Strat which is a good instrument . I went with Miami blue as it looked quite unique. I originally liked dark knight after seeing it on KZread videos lol look good stunning but when seeing it in shop found it to be much darker more like black in darker rooms ie without a spotlight shining on it . I found Miami blue colour to be better than expected from videos . Very nice Alamo videos helped me choose - I don’t live in the USA . But these fender guitars are so cool.

I just ordered the roast pine body with rosewood, but am also already considering which body color to couple with a maple neck down the road. Ya know, one for leads, the other for rhythm, or, ahh, one for country, the other for western? Any reason to add another…

After his knockdown by the keyboard dept., it was interesting to see Cooper blown up. Great guitarist, and now a stuntman... Stay with the day job!

I have a 1983 Tele that is a top loader. Interesting that her you have the choice...

You might as well just title these "Hey, Cooper's gonna play more guitar!" ..that's why we're all here, right?!

We need Cooper's demo of Am Pro II Jazzmaster

Great guitars. Hope they will release more 70s colors. That guitar playing was HUGE. This guy should play gospel like Jairus Mozee.

I bought this kind of strat and it’s a amazing guitar. However they come with 0,09- 0,42 and the string heights are very closed to the fingerboard. I’m thinking of changing the string sets to hybrid 0,09- 0,46 anyone tried those? And how set the strings a bit higher or more inclined on the 3 lower strings ? Great video!

im really on the fence due to the fact i hesitate between 3 single micros or HSS version of this guitars ! 😭 For the finish the roasted pine is just perfect 👏

I like to top load a tele. Because then the strings don't go through a dramatic angle change. So the strings don't really ever break. Plus I am of the opinion, and I've never heard this anywhere but it just makes sense to me, that a top loader actually resonates the bridge itself, adding to the ballsyness of the bridge pickup in the form of microphonic juice.

For a guitar aimed at “Professionals” they should come with locking tuners as standard to assist with quicker string changes.

I know, I made them while working at Fender

I'm guessing the supply of ash is being impacted by ash die-back, which is blighting a lot of the ash trees here in the UK and may be doing so in the US too. What is 'pine' anyway? It's a whole family of trees, not just one species. Everything from Sitka spruce to Scots pine to Lebanese and Himalayan cedar is pine!

The specs state that the two pickups on the AmPro2 Tele are both "V-Mod II Single-Coil Tele". Does that mean they're the same pickup? I thought the neck and bridge pickups in teles were different.

@AlamoMusic

They are different in design for each position. The Neck is narrow and shallow where as the bridge is wide and deep - bigger than a normal single coil. - Chris

Just as well I have an American Pro I Tele in Butterscotch that does have an ash body.

I realize that they were just released today but why is everyone reviewing the Miami Blue color? Is that the color they sent out ahead of the release for reviews? The Dark Night color looks awesome

I have the feeling that it is the same guitar, strat and tele, of the previous professional and the previous standard, but now with a different name and differenti colours, which I don’t like.. i’d rather to have more selections in the wood choice (recently the maple it is very withe and it looks cheap).
