    NBD - Fender AM Pro II

    I have a 2024 American Pro II in Dark Night that I picked up in Feb of 2025 for around $1300.00 new off Reverb. 8.8 pounds so a little bit heavier than yours but not too bad. I've been toying with the idea of swapping the pickguard to a Fender White Moto but was unsure of how it would look...

    Fender ABG Club

    Thank you so much! It's kinda weird that their site doesn't have that color as a current model. Wonder if it's a MF/GC exclusive.

    Fender ABG Club

    Weird as it was factory sealed from Fender. It was shipped in the unopened Fender box and everything was packaged the same if you would have bought it from Fender themselves. Even had the hanger tag on one of the tuning keys.
