Player's Perspective

In short, this is the perfect Telecaster. It has everything players love about old-school designs, but it's updated with practical features for today's musician. The result is the perfect blend of old and new. The neck feel, overall design, and build quality are straight from the 50's, but the neck radius and tuners are closer to what you'd find on today's hottest shred axes. The pickups are right in the middle: They're hot and responsive, but they still breathe and sparkle with that classic Fender sound. If you're in the market for a vintage-souled Tele that'll hold up to the demands of today's playing situations, this is the guitar for the job.

Manufacturer's Description

Fender is guided by one clear, simple directive: make life better for musicians. While the original Telecaster certainly did that (and then some), we weren’t content to rest on our laurels. Our team of mad scientists examined every component in near-microscopic detail. If we were able to improve it with a new design or modern materials we did; if it didn’t need improvement, we left it alone. When the wood chips and solder fumes settled, what was left was the American Professional Telecaste—everything you need to play your best.

Developed by vintage pickup master Tim Shaw, the brand-new V-Mod single-coil pickups are voiced specifically for each position, mixing alnico magnet types to produce powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA. The newly redesigned Telecaster bridge sports three compensated brass barrel saddles for the perfect combination of vintage style with modern feel and performance. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern "Deep C”-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords.

The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Telecaster is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend.
