Electric Guitar · United States · Introduced 2020
The Fender American Professional II Telecaster distills decades of player feedback and design evolution into a premier working professional instrument, blending vintage twang with modern ergonomic refinements. Constructed with a solid roasted pine (or alder) body featuring comfort-contoured body edges and a deep 'C' neck profile with rolled fingerboard edges and a 'Super-Natural' satin finish, it offers immediate physical familiarity and effortless playability. The instrument is equipped with dual V-Mod II Telecaster single-coil pickups, voiced specifically to deliver biting twang, punchy midrange snap, and crystalline clarity without harsh high frequencies. The newly designed top-load/string-through bridge features compensated bullet brass saddles, offering a brilliant balance of vintage intonation accuracy and modern snap. A push-push tone control activates series mode for a thicker, humbucker-like tone when extra sonic heft is required. It is the ultimate modern workhorse for elite guitarists.
