The Finest American Professional Telecaster Yet!

Fender’s American Professional series produced some of the most popular instruments at Sweetwater among working musicians and discerning amateurs. Now, with the American Professional II series, Fender has upped the ante, outfitting the formidable line with a slew of player-centric upgrades. The Fender American Professional II Telecaster features Tim Shaw’s latest V-Mod Tele single-coils, which deliver familiar Tele twang with enhanced clarity and focus. To provide an exceptional playing experience, the American Professional II Telecaster boasts a Deep "C" profile neck with a satin finish and a contoured heel joint. A Tele is a must-have in any guitar collection, and they don’t get much finer than the Fender American Professional II Telecaster.

The new standard for professional instruments

After the wild success of the original American Professional Stratocaster, Fender's team of designers dedicated themselves to improving on the design. The resulting instrument, the American Professional II Telecaster, features several improvements and upgrades that push the classic design to new heights. V-Mod II Telecaster single-coil pickups dish out signature Tele spank and twang with added detail. The upgraded “cut” 3-saddle top-load/string-through bridge has a classic look with enhanced flexibility for setting individual string tension to achieve perfect intonation. Factor in the all-new "Super-Natural" neck finish, and the Fender American Professional II Telecaster sets the tone for what a professional-level instrument should look, sound, and feel like.

Upgraded pickups promote clarity

For the American Professional II Telecaster, Fender's pickup guru, Tim Shaw, created a new breed of V-Mod single-coil pickups. The V-Mod II Tele single-coils have a vintage voice with modern clarity that players will appreciate. And, their volume mod circuit lets you pull back on the gain knob, without sacrificing top end, making it incredibly versatile onstage. Run it through your grittiest dirt pedals or your cleanest amp and the Fender American Professional II Telecaster will sound right at home.

Custom Shop-influenced neck

The Deep "C" neck profile that you'll find on the Fender American Professional II Telecaster solidbody electric guitar is a slight upgrade from the Fender American neck players have been in love with for years. By adding a touch more roundness to the back contour, the Deep "C" carve fills your hand perfectly while never inhibiting your technique. For added playing comfort, the back of the neck is finished in Fender's "Super-Natural" satin finish that feels fast and inviting. Your fingers will immediately notice how much control they have on the fretboard's Narrow Tall frets. For good reason, this fret wire is the most requested size at the Fender Custom Shop.

Fender American Professional II Telecaster Electric Guitar Features:

  • Updated and upgraded Telecaster for the performing musician
  • V-Mod II single-coil pickups provide classic Tele twang with greater articulation
  • 3-saddle top-load/string-through bridge has a classic look with enhanced flexibility
  • Satin-finished maple neck feels fast and responsive
  • Deep "C" neck profile sits securely in your hand
  • Contoured neck heel enhances comfort when playing in the upper register

Beautiful Tone and Fun to Play

This is my first Telecaster and I'm super impressed by the tone and playability of this guitar. Everything I throw at it from jazz, to blues, to rock sounds amazing. It has a springy sound and feel to it that make it super fun to play. The neck is really comfortable and the build of this guitar is flawless. The wood tones look even better than the pictures. It's really a work of art. I did adjust the play action as it was higher than I prefer. I recommend using the music nomad action tool for this or bringing to a luthier for a setup. I don't fault Fender or Sweetwater since everyone's preference is different. This is my first large purchase with Sweetwater and my rep Todd Kitchen was amazing. He gave me a great deal that I could not turn down. I'm really impressed by the personalized service of Sweetwater and will definitely be buying all my future gear from them. They even do a professional photo shoot of the guitar you are receiving. If you are considering this guitar, reach out to your rep and get a great deal, you won't be disappointed!

The best yet to come from Fender

Tiberious my sales guy had the action set and intonated with the strings I asked for, after un boxing it, I was amazed at the quality of the work, they have out done them self's with the new Telecaster, it is better than an older ones, sound is the same and I don't need another guitar , this one goes from true classic Blues and jazz to full on rock, and everything in between, case is great and sturdy well lined for protecting the guitar, cant say enough about it, best yet from Fender, worth every penny I spent and more , even sold my Gibson Les Paul, was a 70's tribute model, this is light in weight and good for my back problems, also the neck makes it fun to play, cant put it down when I pick it up, it inspirers me to play more, at least for me, this is one great guitar
Rated 5/5

Great Guitar

Got this gem in less then 24 hours! Plugged it into a Fender 57 Custom Deluxe amp and rocked out. Very articulate sound. The pickups & phase parallel switch gives you multiple options of tone. Thanks to my sound engineer Rob Amaral! He has recommended several items (including this guitar) & has been 100% correct on every item. The service that Rob supplies is without equal. If you're looking for a sound engineer, run don't walk to Rob Amaral.
Music background: Electric & acoustic guitars, mandolin, and ukulele.

Terrific Tele

First, this is the best fit, finish and workmanship I have seen on a Fender in a long time. At least one not from the Custom Shop. Starting with the neck, the new finish and rolled edge on the neck are superb. Rivals Music Man for smooth feel. The roasted pine body feels very light and has great tone. The pickups hit the classic Tele tone, but a touch more fullness. The series switch is great. I have this function on my partscaster Tele also and like it a lot.

But saving the best for last, the Sienna Sunburst w/maple is really beautiful. As good as Sweetwater's photos are, they do not do it justice. The way the colors come together to give both a traditional and modern feel has to be seen. Overall the quality and performance I expect from guitars well over $2K. :)

And a molded hard case at this price? Sweet. No pun intended. And if you don't already have your own Sweetwater person, Aaron R has been my guy for 7 years, give him a call.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
