The American Professional Telecaster features Fender's popular Deep C-Shaped neck with smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a Super-Natural satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod III Telecaster Pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the twang, snap and snarl that made the Tele famous, while ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.
V-Mod III Pickups
V-Mod III Telecaster pickups are voiced specifically for each position, creating a perfectly balanced tone with the vintage warmth and crisp, clear sound that made Fender a legend.
Sculpted Neck Heel
The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.
ClassicGear Compensated Brass Bullet Saddle Tele Bridge
The new Telecaster bridge sports ClassicGear Compensated Brass Bullet Saddles, Fender's most comfortable, flexible Tele saddles yet. Retaining classic brass-saddle tone, they provide excellent intonation and flexible setup options, allowing you to tailor the tension and tone of each string to your liking. Strings can be top-loaded for reduced tension, resulting in a mellower twang and springy attack.
Deep C-Shaped Neck Profile with Rolled Fingerboard Edges
Delivering both comfort and speed, the American Professional Deep C-Shaped neck profile is slim at the nut and fills out gradually as it approaches the neck joint to create a natural feel that's perfect for chording and single note playing alike. The hand-rolled fingerboard edges and Super-Natural satin finish provide a supremely comfortable feel.
Special Electronics
A performance-friendly push-push switch on the tone control activates the series mode in position 2, using both pickups to create a fatter tone not normally found on a Tele.
ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers
ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.
