Description
Fender didn’t set out to reinvent the Telecaster with this one — they set out to sharpen it. The American Professional Telecaster takes the blueprint that’s defined electric guitar tone for decades and quietly upgrades nearly every part that touches your hands or your signal chain, leaving the parts that already worked well alone.
- Ash body finished in gloss polyurethane, paired with a maple neck in the new “Deep C” profile — thicker through the shoulders than a Modern C, giving chords and single notes a solid, natural grip
- V-Mod single-coil Telecaster pickups, designed by veteran pickup builder Tim Shaw, mix different alnico magnet types position-by-position for output and warmth that still carries that unmistakable Fender snap
- Narrow-tall frets make string bending more precise and keep chords intonated cleanly all the way up the 9.5″ radius fingerboard
- Redesigned three-saddle bridge with compensated brass barrel saddles improves intonation while keeping the vintage-style ashtray cover (removable, and it stays clear of your palm-muting hand)
- Treble-bleed circuit on the master volume keeps your highs intact even as you roll the volume down — no more muddy tone at lower settings
- Bone nut, Fender Standard cast/sealed staggered tuning machines, 25.5″ scale length
- Ships with an Elite Molded hardshell case featuring body-contoured protection, TSA-approved latches, and a stackable shape for storage
It’s the same three-pickup-position, bolt-on-neck formula Telecaster players have leaned on for generations — just refined where it counts, so it plays faster, intonates better, and holds its tone no matter how you set the volume knob.
