Fender American Professional II Telecaster®, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dark Night 

The American Professional II Telecaster® draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player.

Our popular Deep "C” neck now sports 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 II Telecaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the twang, snap and snarl that made the Tele famous. The new top-load/string-through bridge with compensated “bullet” saddles is our most comfortable, flexible Tele bridge yet – retaining classic brass-saddle tone and providing excellent intonation and flexible setup options, allowing you to tailor the tension and tone of each string to your liking.

The American Pro II Telecaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.

V-Mod II 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.
The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate
improve access to the upper register and make
leads easy and comfortable.
The new Telecaster bridge sports compensated “bullet”
brass barrel saddles for comfort, accurate intonation and
vintage-informed tone. Strings can be top-loaded for
reduced tension, resulting in a mellower twang and
springy attack that’s perfect for rock n roll.

Delivering both comfort and speed, the American
Professional II “Deep C” 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.
A performance-friendly push-push switch on the volume
control activates the series mode in position 2, using both pickups to create a fatter tone not normally found on a Tele.
This guitar is available in either alder or roasted pine
(on select colors). Alder is a classic Fender tonewood
with a balanced sound perfect for almost any genre.
Roasted pine is a lightweight wood known for punchy
and complex tone – upgraded with our roasting treatment,
greatly improving resonance.
