The American Professional Telecaster® draws on more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working players.
Our famous Deep "C" neck profile sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish and a sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod III Telecaster single-coil pickups produce a better-defined, punchy sound while retaining the crisp, twangy character that made the Tele famous. Furthermore, precision tone controls ensure smooth and consistent adjustment with perfectly calibrated resistance and a musical response curve for reliable, intuitive operation.
The new bridge, which features a string-through or top-load design with compensated saddles, is the most comfortable and flexible bridge we have ever created for a Tele. It retains the classic brass-saddle tone while providing perfect intonation and flexible setup options, allowing you to tailor the tension and tone of each string to your liking.
The American Pro Telecaster delivers the 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.
