Fender American Professional Telecaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Natural

Modified, revised, adjusted—however you want to frame it, The Fender American Professional series returns to produce iconic instruments in modern-applicable varieties. Here, with the timeless Telecaster, choice appointments are found to make it stand out amongst its contemporaries. Think you know a Telecaster? Let's get reacquainted.

The American Professional Telecaster shapes it's iconic silhouette with an ash solidbody, adorned with a black pickguard and chrome hardware all atop a beautifully grained Natural polyurethane finish. Resonant, reliable, and injected with signature sound, this body provides that signature Tele tone you've been after. Bolted to the body is a Deep "C" shaped maple neck, sporting a "Super-Natural" satin finish that feels comfortable and smooth across the entire 25.5" scale length. Additionally, the newly sculpted neck heel supplies easy access to the upper register. Topping the neck is a maple fingerboard, sporting black dot inlays and narrow tall frets to elicit an authentic vintage-feeling experience.

To further exemplify the premier American Professional build, choice hardware appointments outfit this Tele for outstanding performance. To start, a newly designed top-load/string-through bridge with compensated saddles promotes intricate setups, leading to an always comfortable, distinctly brass-saddle sounding Tele that supplies the undisputed twang you've come to expect from a Tele. Next, 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 exciting part: pickups. Translating the timeless tone of the American Professional Telecaster is a set of V-Mod III single-coil Tele pickups—crisp, balanced, and endlessly articulate, resulting in the pinnacle of Tele tonality. For more tonal variety, a push/push mechanism on the tone knob puts the pickups in series while in position two, resulting in a fatter, larger tone. Looking for the Fender sound? Here it is.

Provided with a Fender deluxe molded hardshell case for protection when traveling from show to show, the American Professional Telecaster is a perfect gigging partner.
