This is such a great review! Showing what all the pick up option Sound like on both clean and overdriven. Not a bunch of dramatic talking, just straight to the sound of the guitar and kudos to the lettering on the video telling you which position the switch is on.
Agree
Great demo! I have a hard time getting past my cosmetic bias for maple on Fenders, but I think the rosewood sounds a little better to my ears.
The Dark Night Rosewood hands down. It also wins on beauty as well as sound.
That dark knight finish looks amazing and it sounds spectacular.
I re-visited this video. ( I now have the Dark Knight but with maple neck. ) To my ears, there’s little difference in the middle and bridge positions, but the neck pickup sounds slightly brighter & snappier in the video.
I got it say that fender knock it out of the park with these two color patterns. Dark knight and the Miami blue. Beautiful guitars 😍
I can’t decide which to get 😂
@@whwh7339 I got the Miami blue. It’s a beauty
@@alerojo7770 yeah I’ve decided to get that one this year! Can’t wait!
@@whwh7339 Get both! That’s what I want to do.
@@MrCalifornia0Same here 😂😅
I really like the blue one
That was interesting! I wouldn't have guessed, but the rosewood fingerboard strat sounds fuller and more earthy while the maple is a little brighter and more twangy. Don't think it's an optical illusion based on colors.
눈가리고 테스트하면 맞추는 사람 별로 없을걸?
I'm new to the Strat game. When playing clean or by itself, the Rosewood seemed to sound a little fuller to me which I enjoyed. When you got towards the end playing in the mix, the Maple seemed to cut through much better though. Beautiful playing man!
I absolutely love my new professional ii 2 tone sunburst!
Me too 😊
Think I’m gonna go Dark Night with maple fretboard
I got dark night whit maple sounds better to me.
I consistently like the the Rosewood guitar, but it could be something other than the fret board. Body material, strings, players comfort etc.
Me encantó la de Rosewood, suena tremenda, suena hermosa!!!
thanks so much, this video really helps! with this i will go with the MN
Maple sits better in the mix as of its punchier mids, especially at the end with high gain.
Rosewood sounds more like that typical strat.
Great comparison.
This is everything
The maple neck sounds a little brighter. The rosewood is darker, smoother sounding. It's all a matter of preference.
That’s how it should sound but in this video the maple neck sounded darker and warmer. The Rosewood it was too bright
@@phasedesign2079 that’s what I thought too. Rosewood sounded brighter.
All this is showing me is that the differences are subtle there isn't a superior version.
I noticed that too... It's probably due to the kind of Pickups on those am pro II models. I have the feeling the maples sound better with those Pickups, not True with other models like ultra series, am standard or others, usually i like it better with rosewood.
I went for the dark night and rosewood strat. I love the crispness of it.
I went for the dark night with maple fretboard. No regrets. Both are great options. Rosewoods are darker but snappier, while maple seems to be brighter yet damper

Hey! Year on down the road. Thanks for that succinct-but-enlightening description of the rosewood vs maple characteristics. I’m having a tough time deciding for my first ever Strat. However, as I’ve suggested to others who are torn between two colors, I could get one neck with 3 single coils and the other with an HSS setup, which seems wise and very reasonable to me.
@@strummercash5601 It would depend on what sound you want. I already have a Gibson Les Paul so I have the Humbuckers for any harsher sounds, so I opted for the 3 single coils
Rosewood looks little bit better, both sounds are awesome!
The maple is just that little bit grittier, a fair bit brighter, it has more aggression and snarl, clearer sound as well imo. The rosewood is a bit softer, smooth, darker in tone. I think it's clear I'm a fan of maple but both have their qualities.
다크나이트 진짜 색 잘 뽑았다...
뽐뿌옵니다..
소리도 진짜 잘뽑았네요..
RW for the win!
I like the Fender "Quack" out of the middle & bridge pickups...
The Dark night 👍
For soloing maple sounds better for me
Me gusta mas el sonido con el mástil de maple, gran sonido, excelente a mi gusto
I got dark night with rosewood it comes tomorrow
To throw more gasoline on the fire, there’s a video on UA-cam where a guy has ten guitars identical to the Miami blue one in this video and he compares them and they all sound slightly different!
what gauge of strings do you use?
underrated video
마지막 연주곡 뭔가요?ㅠㅠ 리프 너무 좋네요
Love this!! Amazing tone! What are you using for amp and effects?
Is it too late to start playing guitar...im 52....you’ve inspired me.. thanks that was pefect
It's never to late! If you're prepared to really commit to this you'll be surprised how far you can go. There are so many resources on UA-cam the sky's the limit. Good luck 🤞🏻
never too late. You'll regret not doing it. It is a woundefull Journey.
I hope not. I just started at 57. Loving it.
great guitars,and that dude can play!
Buenísimo!
Rosewood sounds “softer” to me
Second more random curious question, what size pick are you using?
Thickness? Thanks again!
I’ve always had maple but I went with rosewood on my dark knight.
I went with the Dark night with maple. Great combo
El sonido con Maple es mucho más claro con más cuerpo y sobresaliente comparado con el de palo Rosa
I like the feel of rosewood but sound of the maple. Roasted maple for the win..?
Dispels the myth there is no difference tonally between rosewood and maple. ;)
Does it really, though? I think what may be affecting it is more likely the difference in construction and finish. The maple is a single piece of wood, the rosewood is a laminate on a thinner piece of maple, making the layer of glue that holds them together affect the tone probably more than the difference in wood used. There is absolutely no way the vibration of the strings makes it through that layer of glue unaffected, it has to be introducing some degree of dampening. The only way you could possibly compare the tonal differences of the necks is if they were constructed in exactly the same way, meaning the maple neck would need to be thinner and have a separate maple fretboard glued to it. I'll bet that would darken down the sound and shrink the tonal difference to being near imperceptible between the two.
Is there really a difference in the feeling? Which one do you prefer?
Maple for me.
Not sure why I always have an impression of hearing nylon strings getting hit and muffled with these new strat line ups.
el maple tiene un ataque brutal
Rosewood sounds like 460 . Maple HD 1080 :)

could you do american professional 2 vs prs silver sky ? rosewood version, and play little wing, lenny, slow dancing and gravity, yellow led better too if possible...would be cool!
I have the MN Dark Night and it sounds great. The Silver Sky is a slightly different beast… a Strat is reknown. The Pro 2 plays almost as good as my core 24 PRS. No regrets with the Pro 2 !
Love the tone! Im trying to decide between the American Original 60s Strat or the Professional II. This sounds great for 500$ cheaper. What are your thoughts?? Thank you, keep it up
Difference is playability vs tone. This is designed to be max easy to play, rolled edges, etc.
I have the Dark Night Strat with Rosewood. Love it. Never played anything more expensive so I can't give you a tonal comparison other than it sounds so much richer and fuller than my Player. Feels better in the hands too. Play them both and then decide if the $500 is worth it. I'm happy with the extra I spent for the AP II.
you should also consider & try an MIJ Traditional 60`s.. also superbly crafted and sweet playing
With maple it's clearer and brighter, but when you turn off the lights, everything looks and sound exactly the same.
Rosewood!
Rosewood, há um equilíbrio melhor na harmonia

Maple on ALL
어우야 돈 모아야 겠다
After more than 2 years of abstinence, I went to the Music Station again and played 3 Fender American Professional II Strats, and again I noticed that the woods had little vibrancy, the maple necks were not very dense and responsive, there was little twang, little crunch , wiry-glassy, few overtones, sustain, attack, everything you associate with Fender guitars, everything is less than on my ESP 400 Series Strats and less than on my BLADE Texas models. This can be tested objectively and I can only say that I am extremely disappointed with this price-performance ratio. No, I can no longer objectively understand this adulation regarding Fender Strats. My first Stratocaster was a Fender American Standard Stratocaster and that was my worst guitar of all, a Fender Mexico Standard followed after that, but after I played the ESPs and the BLADEs everything was clear to me, and that proves itself again, every time, when I compare, the same result always comes out - what else can I say, it is true! The ESP-400-Series Strats and the BLADEs have objectively, noticeably and audibly better tonewood, the BLADEs even have a flattened neck-body-joint and covered fret slots and therefore much better playability!!! So, I'm done with Fender, I'm playing something clever, and at a much cheaper price. I don't want to talk anyone out of their love of Fender, I have nothing against you buying the (usually) worse guitars for a far too exorbitant price, you're welcome to do that. Then there will be more BLADEs for me, very simple! Thanks for listening!
