I'm a bit biased - seeing I own an AmProii strat with the exact same specs. But I personally prefer the sound of the Lincoln Brewster strat. Although the AmPro is probably cheaper. I personally thought the high end on the AmPro ii was a bit harsh. But maybe that's how youtube compressed it.
The American Pro II definitely has a bit more high end bite. It is also cheaper than the Lincoln Brewster strat. It's likely mostly down to the pickups and the DiMarzios in the Lincoln Brewster roll off some of the sharp high end.
Thanks for the kind words! For this video, I was running a Wampler Ego Compressor (on all the time) into a KingTone Duellist (for drive tones). I had both of these pedals in front of an HX Stomp, which I was using for amp modeling and delays/reverb.
Yes, it should more or less sound the same. The boost on the Lincoln Brewster strat is completely out of the circuit when it is not engaged. So it does not influence the overall tone when it's off.
@@jokerjoker3967 I'd recommend the Area series of pickups from dimarzio for that style of music. They're hum-cancelling and have qualities of vintage style pickups which would suit that style.
I love both of these guitars for different reasons, but I slightly prefer the Lincoln Brewster strat. For me, I really like the soft V neck and compound radius on the LB strat but they both sound great in their own way.
Can you do a demo with these two where you play the exact same thing and alternate between the two before switching to each position? If you do all 5 positions on one guitar before switching to the other guitar then people will forget what each switch sounded like compared to the other one. Example: Do switch position 1 on LB strat, then switch to the AP strat and do switch 1, then move on to switch 2 and do both Strats on that position before switching to 3 and so on. Also, your mic needs better placement as it sounds like its behind a wall or something. Not trolling just offering some tips.
Thanks for the input! No microphones were involved actually. All the tones were recorded direct from a Line 6 HX Stomp and my guess is that the reverb I used isn't your preference.
I like the demo of the Lincoln Brewster guitar because it sounds a little bit more rounded in the top end.
The DiMarzios in the Lincoln Brewster definitely roll off some high end in a nice way!

Advantage: that Brewster neck!!!
I prefer the lincoln brewster strat. Nice killer lead tone by the way. What effects and settings do you use?

The Hot Rod Lincoln wins for me.
If I put the same micro dimarzio without boost will it sound the same more or less??

@@brett_mcreynolds ok thanks bro.
@@brett_mcreynolds to play pink floyd or jimi hendrix dimarzio pickups are good or not?? Bro

which one do you prefer LB or custom shop?
Liked American pro tone better
Fender American Pro II sounds more fuller.
Awesome playing and tone!!!
Thank you, really appreciate it!
What’s your preference?

Pro sounds better. More lively and more character. The Brewster sounds slightly more dead

@@brett_mcreynolds Ok, but at least alternate back and forth better between switches so we can compare them back to back.
