A short comparison clip of a Japanese Fender ’62 Custom Reissue (c. 1990) and a brand-new American Professional Telecaster. Both guitars were played through a Juketone True Blood tweed-style amp (volume at 7) and recorded with a single Shure SM57.

The order is neck pickup, both pickups, bridge pickup. The ’62 Reissue plays the first two chords for each pickup selection, with the Am Pro taking over for the second two chords.

Upouusi American Professional -sarja on vanhan American Standard -sarjan perusteellisesti päivitetty seuraaja.

Ratkaisevin kohta uudistuksiin löytyy kitaroiden ja bassojen mikrofoniosastolta:

Fenderin oma mikrofoniguru Tim Shaw on kehittellyt jokaista mallia varten oman V-Mod-mikrofonisetin. V-Mod-mikrofonien erikoisuus löytyy tarkkaan valikoiduista magneeteista – esimerkiksi American Pro Stratocasterissa on eri alnicovahvuuksia mikrofonista toiseen, sekä yksittäisen mikrofonin sisällä basso- ja diskanttikielille.

American Pro Telecasterissa on vintage-tyylinen talla, jossa on kuitenkin kolme esikompensoitua tallapalaa.

Tällä hetkellä mallistosta löytyy American Professional Stratocaster, HSS ja HH Stratocaster Shawbuckereilla, Telecaster, Telecaster Deluxe Shawbuckereilla, Jaguar, Jazzmaster, neli- ja viisikieliset Jazz-bassot (myös nelikielinen nauhaton), sekä neli- ja viisikieliset Presarit. Myös vasenkätisiä versioita on tarjolla.

The Edge Strat is engineered for top-notch performance with versatile tone and effortless playing. Unique features include a pair of special Custom Shop Fat 50s single-coil pickups with flat pole pieces, a DiMarzio® FS-1™ bridge pickup, upgraded quartersawn maple neck with “C”-shaped profile and 9.5” maple fingerboard, modern two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with pop-in arm and fully adjustable saddles. The Edge’s signature is also included on the front of the large ‘70s-style headstock.

The elegant guitar combines the classic curves, appointments and effortless playability of the Stratocaster with modern enhancements and materials to create a dream instrument for players and U2 fans alike.

The Edge Deluxe signature model is an updated take on the classic ’57 tweed Deluxe used to craft the Edge’s sonic identity. This amp also produces the tone and articulation of the vintage Fender Deluxe amps that are an important part of the artist’s complex multi-amp effects setup.

This 12-watt hand-wired amp features modified circuitry for tighter low-end response and high-impact tone, a 12” Celestion® Blue speaker, custom-tapered volume control and altered component values that tighten up low-end frequency response. The Edge himself also hand-designed the special grille logo badge, which distinguishes the traditional tweed amp as a distinctive tool for guitarists everywhere.
