They both look and sound great, hard to say one sounds better than the other, just different. I have a great Ame. Pro Strat that I’ll never part with (also have a Hot Rod ‘62, Ame. Original and a few others- can’t ever have enough Strats! 😅), but I’ll be picking up a II anyway, can’t resist that blue and I think the added features are very cool additions to an already fine instrument. Thanks for the comparison, always good stuff on this channel! ✌️😎

The v-mod 2s seemed a bit brighter, but besides that they sound very similar, which is expected I guess. When doing a comparison like this, it's much better to do one pickup in each guitar and then switch positions, instead of going through the whole range of positions before changing guitars. They're way too similar to be able to compare them easily this way. But anyway, they both sound very solid.

If you’re starting out...and if you can afford it at the same time...get an expensive Stratocaster. I’m totally serious. It gives you a sense of accountability to learn on those days you don’t feel like it. They’re comfortable. They sound great out of the box with minimal setup nonsense. They’re reliable. If you want to be a player/luthier, get a cheap guitar. You’ll have fun and end up with a great instrument. But get the expensive one first. That’s my advice. And get the Pro II. Just trust me. It’s worth it. Every dime and more.

I recently (2023) found a late 2016 Strat Pro 1 at Guitar Center of all places, in unplayed condition with the plastic still on it. Someone must have bought it to learn to play and then, in the closet it sat until they sold it off to Guitar Center. I got incredibly lucky. It’s my first American Strat and it is an amazing guitar.
