Fender American Professional Telecaster Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dark Night

After more than seventy years, Fender still finds ways to innovate their timeless instruments. For proof, look no further than the American Professional series, supplying iconic silhouettes, like this Telecaster, with specialty appointments and modifications to transform them into modern-applicable powerhouses. This Telecaster is up to the tonal task. Are you?

Utilized for aesthetics and superior sound, the Telecaster silhouette is formed from alder, sporting a black pickguard with chrome hardware atop a brilliant blue-to-black bursting Dark Night polyurethane finish. This solidbody provides the resonant tone that emanates from the Tele, and is sturdy enough to rely on for everyday practicing and gigging. Attached to the body is an always comfortable Deep "C" shaped maple neck, treated with a smooth "Super-Natural" satin finish. For further comfort, the newly sculpted neck heel provides full access to the upper register, letting solos soar without obstructions. Affixed to the neck is a rosewood fingerboard, lined with narrow tall-sized frets and white dot inlays to guide each player on their tonal pursuit.

We can't forget about the real MVPs of the American Professional Telecaster build: the hardware. First, a new top-load/string-through bridge with compensated brass bullet saddles provides precision for setups, ensuring every player gets the experience they deserve. Additionally, a bone nut secures string spacing and lends to intonation support, while the standard cast/sealed staggered tuning machines lock in all pitches through lengthy writing sessions and shows. To tie the whole package together, a set of V-Mod III single-coil Tele pickups project the instrument, supplying articulate, balanced tones that lead to that vintage twang players expect from a Telecaster. For further tonal variety, a push/push mechanism on the tone knob turns position two into series mode, resulting in fatter, bigger sounds.

Delivered in a sturdy Fender deluxe molded hardshell case, the American Professional Telecaster is the perfect partner for your guitar journeys.
