AM Pro II Strat MN SSB : Strat lovers can't go wrong with this one

I have always liked a lot the sound and versatility of Stratocasters and own more than one. The AM Pro II is a an excellent instrument with novel features compared to previous models (e.g., American Standard). The option to combine bridge and neck or all three pick-ups with the pull-pull tone knob is very attractive, adding new sound possibilities to the classic five positions selector. The newly designed pick-ups deliver an excellent and well balanced tone, pretty much using all positions. The neck finish feels really good and it is very nice to play. The model with the sunburst finish has a pine body. If anything, it feels slightly lighter than a comparable alder model. Start lovers can't go wrong with this one.
