This guitar was discontinued and replaced with a newer version. These go for $1249 in better colors.

Is it my eyes or is there a pinkish tint to the color?
I have this one. Think of it like a creamy overlay on wood. Almost like milk on a nice piece of wood. You can see the grain through it. I love this one.

Quote from ryanscott6 :
I wish this the neck was bound like most necks with actual binding. Channel-binding makes it look a bit odd from the side angle. I guess we're just used to binding on necks not wood pretending to be binding.
I have this and have had a channel bound tele. I prefer this to plasticky binding any day. It's just really a smooth and buttery experience. I will warn the neck is different than the other am pro guitars. It's more rounded and a bit smaller. It honestly is about the size of the player strats, albeit much better finished.

Get an ULTRA for a few hundred more and never look back. Ultra is the best strat I have ever laid hands on.
I have an ultra tele and I'm not gelling with it like I thought. It's so beautiful and plays well. Maybe it's the pickups. I do love the mocha burst.

My go to is actually this am pro channel bound strat for some reason. Mine isn't pink at all. Just like someone put a single coat of milky paint on some wood so it still shows through. I dig it much more than an olympic or polar white, but that's me.

I might try to find someone to trade my tele for an ultra or elite strat. Don't know how I became a strat dude again (from teles). I'm not good enough to show up anywhere with a strat.

I'm literally in the market for a strat - this couldn't have happened at a better time for me. Any gotchas with this model that I should know about or is this the one?

Rick if you're looking for a Stratocaster, here's a pretty good deal on the Arctic blue one for only $549.00. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/646645

Ugh, hopefully a maple neck lake placid professional will make an appearance again.

Is the new neck what you don't like ? I think it's awesome.

Man tempting! Not sure it's because it's not the ugly electric blue we've always seen!

Same here. I thought that blue was ugly as well.

Good looking out, been wanting to add an LPB MIM Strat since last summer.

This is almost perfect, but 21 frets is just a no-go for me these days.

Bought a sweet deal with a Vibrolux Amp and an American Professional Elite back in 2017. Both the amp and the guitar had warranty issues (LOL). I've had amazing luck with Mexican Fenders (Duo Sonic HS, Duo Sonic SS, Triple Tele). That being said, I'd be all over an HSS strat if they ever run one. Every Fender I buy is from Adorama and they've always been great to work with. The warranty issues were all on Fender's end.

I've had awesome luck with Adorama Fenders. Bought a HS DuoSonic, SS DuoSonic and Triple Tele. All Mexican. All great. Also in 17 bought a American Professional Elite SSS Strat with a Vibrolux Amp. Amazing deal, but both the guitar and amp had warranty issues (Fender's problem, not Ado's). That being said, I'd do an American guitar again (prefer it).... but I'm holding out for an HSS tele.

Well, they need to sort the pictures out. All of them show 21 frets...
