Fender American Professional II Telecaster Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Roasted Pine

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

From the garage, to the local club, to the stadium/arena, this American Professional II Telecaster is the workhorse Telecaster you've been looking for. This one is quite unique looking, with familiar visual features of a vintage 1950s Telecaster with the black pickguard and maple fretboard, but on a gorgeous Roasted Pine body. This one is also featherlight at only 6.9 lbs!

On a closer look and under the hood, this classic has been brought into the 21st century with all the features a working musician needs to succeed both in the studio and on stage. At the heart of the optimizations are the new V-Mod II pickups, which are full of vintage tone while still providing a bit more edge and punch. The difference is subtle, but effective in adding to the versatility of this classic design. The neck shape is familiar and comfortable and the resonance of the guitar is impressive, which may have something to do with being a very lightweight 7 lbs even - this Tele will be kind to your back after a long night of playing out.

Whether you're after rich, creamy leads out of the neck pickup or you're looking for sheer twang out of the bridge and effortless yet classic Fender playability, this Tele is going to take care of you for years and years to come, without a doubt.
