Fender American Professional Telecaster Electric Guitar Maple in Aged Cherry Burst w/Case - 0111142731

Fender American Professional Telecaster w/Case

Classic Fender character updated with two V-Mod III Tele single-coils, a Deep "C" neck and a compensated top-load/string-through bridge, an ash body and a maple fretboard

Aimed squarely at working musicians, the Fender American Professional Telecaster pairs an ash body with a maple neck and maple fretboard. Its 25.5" (648 mm) scale, Deep "C" profile and 22 narrow tall frets support a familiar, controlled feel, while the model-specific electronics and hardware are designed to deliver Tele twang, snap and snarl with improved articulation. The result is a versatile American-made instrument intended for regular rehearsal, recording and live use.

Features

A major part of the playing feel is a Deep "C" maple neck with rolled fretboard edges and Fender's satin urethane treatment on the back. The sculpted neck heel improves access toward the upper frets, while the 9.5" (241 mm) radius, 22 narrow tall frets and bone nut give the instrument a consistent, performance-minded playing surface.

Electronics are built around a pair of V-Mod III single-coil Tele pickups. Their response keeps the twang, snap and snarl associated with the design, while the push-push tone control activates series mode for a thicker alternative voice.

Mechanical details are designed for practical use: a 3-saddle top-load/string-through Tele bridge with ClassicGear compensated brass Bullet saddles. It retains traditional brass-saddle character while adding more accurate intonation and the option to tailor string feel through top-load or string-through setup.

ClassicGear Precision potentiometers are specified for smooth rotation, consistent resistance and a musical control taper. The package includes Fender's Deluxe Molded Case for dependable protection.
