The Fender American Professional Telecaster builds on more than seventy years of Telecaster development for working players who need familiar response with broader control. The Dark Night polyurethane finish covers an alder solid body, while the rosewood fingerboard pairs with a black pickguard. Two V-Mod III single-coil Telecaster pickups deliver the twang, snap, and snarl associated with the model while adding greater articulation for chords, fills, and lead lines.

Professional Neck Comfort

The Deep C maple neck has smooth rolled fingerboard edges and a Super-Natural satin urethane finish on the back. A sculpted neck heel improves access to the upper register, while 22 narrow tall frets support controlled bends. The 9.5-inch radius, 25.5-inch scale length, and 1.685-inch bone nut provide familiar Fender spacing for rhythm work, lead playing, and long sessions.

Flexible Bridge and Control Response

The three-saddle top-load and string-through bridge uses ClassicGear compensated brass bullet saddles. This design retains classic brass saddle tone while supporting accurate intonation and flexible setup options. Players can tailor string tension and tone through the selected routing method. ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers provide smooth, consistent operation with custom torque, precise resistance, and a musical taper. The push-push tone control activates series mode in the middle switch position for an additional pickup combination.

Fender sealed staggered tuning machines, nickel and chrome hardware, a bone nut, and a polyurethane body finish complete the instrument. A Deluxe Molded hardshell case is included for transport and storage. This Telecaster suits players who want direct controls, articulate single-coil response, comfortable upper fret access, and a bridge that supports personal setup preferences.
