Very nice playing and review. Awesome color. I was thinking of buying one of these but ending up finding a used performer in honey burst with a hard case mint condition for only $900 so couldn't pass it up. I love both the pro and the performer...both have some unique cool differences....
I actually bought a professional II telecaster also... but didn't care for the tone of it when playing clean...was a little flat and didn't resonate much... and I play clean 95 percent of the time... so I sold it and kept the performer. The professional II was constructed well though and sounded good in overdrive...
