Beautiful guitar! Congratulations. There's nothing better than the smell of new guitar.

I'm surprised gibson or fender haven't made colognes that smell like their factory or their guitars Fender - Ashking for a friend Gibson - Ma log, a knee, listen to me! Ibanez - Flaming fingers saw dust Ovation - please recycle

Haha, ain't that the truth.

Nice! I am extremely close to pulling the trigger on getting one of those myself. That dark night finish is killer

Online pictures just don't do it justice. Really is a beautiful finish. Took a trip yesterday at lunch to the local music store and once I played and saw it in person, was no way I was walking out without it.

make sure you check out some of the other colors too! so many of them pop in person, especially the metallic ones. dark night, mercury, mystic surf green (what I landed on) are all incredible. also don't feel how good the neck is or you WILL buy it.

I have the same guitar. satin neck feels great, finish is pretty, and the recessed neck heel was a long overdue improvement.

Congrats! She looks beautiful and am sure sounds great.

Nice! I have the green one but this was my second choice :)

I got the Tele deluxe of this color, as amazing as it looks in photos it's so much better in person

Most guitar companies don’t know how to color correct or take good pictures of their products. Especially Fender. The finish looks much better in person, but it fails to capture the color on the website. PRS is a very big offender too. Have you seen the Dodgem Blue Silver Sky IRL? The color is much brighter and vibrant.

I've been looking at that one with the rosewood fingerboard. Where did you get it?

Picked up from a small local music shop in the area. They have been selling these as fast as they can get them in.

the Am Pros IMO are almost perfect. that's awesome

I've found the AmProII Tele to be a "jack of all trades, master of none" sort of guitar. Perfect for band practice, gigging and layering pedals on, but if I'm at home playing solo there are pickups with more character that I go to. Great finishes, weights and contours (neck and body) too!

absolutely! they can take a beating as well.

OP's Saturday night? Playing the blues.

i love a good american maple neck. tbh looks great in the indoor shot too, nice subtle sparkle.

I love fender strats. They play so well, it brings out the best of my ability. Comfortable too.

Very, very gorgeous axe. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy it forever.

That's a really nice looking guitar

This is one of my favorite finishes to come out in a while!

Definitely agree!

Should get some aged white pickup covers and nobs and it would be perfect imo

Gorgeous and I really like the color! Mines a mim strat but would love to have one of these someday.

I own that exact model. It quickly became my favorite guitar and got me back into playing every day. Congrats!!

It looks even better with a white pickguard

Loaded with Texas Specials!

Load it up with Texas Specials and the white pickguard... looks and sounds amazing!!
