Fender American Professional II Telecaster, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dark Night Overview
The model that started it all, the Telecaster remains one of the most popular instruments in the world 70 years later. The American Professional II Telecaster is rooted firmly in the traditions that keep the Telecaster as popular as ever, whilst looking to the future and embracing the demands of the modern guitarist. Teles are known best for their snarl and snap and you'll find plenty of both here thanks to the V-Mod II Telecaster single-coil pickups with the added articulation provided by this newly-designed pickup series. The new bridge can be strung as a top-loader or through-body (or even combinations of both) while the new brass, compensated, 'bullet' saddles deliver classic tones with improved intonation and flexible setup capabilities. The ultimate classic has now been combined with modern upgrades and made even more comfortable to play. Also available as Left Handed.
