Fender American Professional Telecaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Butterscotch Blonde

Adjusted, modified, improved—however you want to put it, The Fender American Professional series is back to offer legendary instruments in modern-applicable form. Here, with the timeless Telecaster, we'll find select appointments that make it stand out amongst its contemporaries. Think you know a Telecaster? Let's get reacquainted.

The American Professional Telecaster forms it's iconic silhouette with an ash solidbody, adorned with a black pickguard and chrome hardware all atop a timeless Butterscotch Blonde polyurethane finish. Resonant and reliable, this body delivers that signature Tele tone you've been dreaming of. Attached to the body is a Deep "C" shaped maple neck, sporting a "Super-Natural" satin finish that feels comfortable and intuitive across the entire 25.5" scale length. Additionally, the newly sculpted neck heel provides easy access to the upper register. Topping the neck is a maple fingerboard, lined with black dot inlays and narrow tall frets to supply an uncompromising vintage feel.

To further promote the quality American Professional builds, choice hardware appointments support this Tele for endless performance. First, a newly designed top-load/string-through bridge with compensated saddles allows for precise setups, leading to an always comfortable, distinctly brass-saddle sounding Tele that produces the twang you've come to expect. A bone nut provides intonation support, and standard cast/sealed stagged tuning machines ensure stable pitches through every gig, practice, and writing session. Now let's get to the good stuff: amplification. Outputting the timeless tone of the American Professional Telecaster is a set of V-Mod III single-coil Tele pickups—balanced, crisp, articulate, and the pinnacle of Tele tonality. Better yet, a push/push mechanism on the tone control puts the pickups in series while in position two, resulting in a fatter, beefier tone. Looking for Fender tone? This is it.

Secured in a Fender deluxe molded hardshell case for on the go protection, the American Professional Telecaster is begging to be your next gigging partner.
