Fender American Professional Telecaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Oxblood

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

The American Professional Telecaster crafts it's iconic silhouette with an alder solidbody, adorned with a black pickguard and chrome hardware all atop a dense Oxblood polyurethane finish. Resonant, reliable, and loaded with signature sound, this body supplies that signature Tele tone you've been chasing. Connected to the body is a Deep "C" shaped maple neck, treated with a "Super-Natural" satin finish that feels comfortable and smooth across the entire 25.5" scale length. Additionally, the newly sculpted neck heel ensures easy access to the upper register. Topping the neck is a maple fingerboard, sporting black dot inlays and narrow tall frets to elicit an uncompromising vintage experience.

To further exemplify the quality American Professional build, choice hardware appointments outfit this Tele for reliable 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 in 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 fun part: amplification. Projecting the timeless tone of the American Professional Telecaster is a set of V-Mod III single-coil Tele pickups—crisp, balanced, and always articulate, resulting in the pinnacle of Tele tonality. Even better, a push/push mechanism on the tone knob puts the pickups in series while in position two, resulting in a beefier, fatter tone. Looking for the Fender sound? Here it is.

Delivered in a Fender deluxe molded hardshell case for protection when traveling from show to show, the American Professional Telecaster yearns to be your next gigging partner.
