Turquoise Tele

By Aaron from MS
Music Background: Worship leader

The color is definitely more green in person so be ready for that. But this Tele is high class. Great, fast playing neck, and really feels quality in your hands. The frets are pretty tall, so if you like low frets this won't be for you. The bridge is my favorite design of all time. Sooooo comfortable under your palm and sustains for days. Pickups are just fine and not worth swapping unless you just have to have some boutique deal or noiseless pickups. This is as good as it gets, as far as production Teles. I can't imagine wanting anything more, unless you're more into the vintage thing. Just a great tele!

Finally fulfilled my dream of owning a Telecaster!

By Sweetwater Customer

This Telecaster guitar is absolutely beautiful and sounds & feels just as "Telecaster" as it looks. Clear and full of character. Exactly what I was hoping for. The upgraded fender case is solid and feels very protective.

The only downside (why I didn't give a full five-star) was that the high E string had barely any slack; it slipped during a bend on day two, and it was difficult to put it back since it's too short. I had to replace the high E string with a new one. But I appreciate other adjustments made by Sweetwater before shipping; it is indeed ready to play on arrival.

Just Perfect!

By Sweetwater Customer

Buying this guitar was so refreshing. The finish is beautiful, and it played great right out of the box. Whatever Fender is doing in terms of quality control is working.

Beautiful Tele You'll Want to Keep Forever

By Adam T.

The Miami Blue color is an eye catching color that stands out but not so much to be distracting or overly flashy. The guitar's build quality is top tier with nothing to complain about; it's great. It delivers the expected do-it-all Tele sounds as it should and has a good blend of both vintage and modern features. Shoutout to my Sweetwater SE, Daniel Neville, who provided great service.

Top Notch All The Way Around!

By nirab from Buda
Music Background: professional amatuer!

I bought a Squire Telecaster a couple of years ago, and I really enjoyed playing it. I was playing more than my LP Jr and SG, and I wondered "why"?!?! Well, after that thought, I figured it was time to spoil myself and get an American made Tele, a true pro model. I am so very happy with my decision! This guitar makes me want to play n practice as much as possible! Incredible guitar, and the color, which I was on the fence about, is absolutely stunning in person. I added a bit of flair to the toggle switch and volume/tone controls...just because! If you are thinking about this guitar...quit thinking and start gettin'!!

Beautiful Baby Blue

By Mark G. from BREMEN, GA
Music Background: Just a lone-wolf jammer

I have been a lifelong Strat junkie thinking it was the only guitar relevant to rock-n-roll, or the blues. Then I started paying attention to other players whom were masters of their craft/art/expression and just overall music prowess. They were playing Telecasters. I started thinking maybe I should give them another look. Man-oh-man, what I have been missing. I cannot believe the tone I can get from this beauty, just UN-REAL. I have not had it long and I can hardly put it down. I removed my meager peddle board from the line, just straight into my Blackstar HT-40 on the clean channel(with reverb about 9 o'clock) and I get all the tones from this beast of a guitar. It is just unbelievable. I would like to give thanks to Andrew Keech at Sweetwater for helping me out with this purchase. He and the Sweetwater team were awesome with the entire process. Trust me people, if you are considering the Fender Pro2 Tele, just do it. I guarantee you will not regret it.

Nothing short of amazing

By Tom B. from Cary, NC

I have had my first Tele for a few weeks now... and it is amazing. The neck is so nice to hold and it sounds the business and quickly became my Number One!The Miami Blue looks better in person and everything seems super solid. I MAY change out the tuning machines for locking or the Klusons... I don't what it is about them. I know the are upgrades, but they just don't feel as good as they could. I will, however, give them a good long try before I do a swap. Still, overall, the guitar was worth the upgrade from the MIMs.

First Telecaster!

This guitar plays and sounds better than I could have imagined. Once you pick it up you won't put it down.

Awesome guitar! great service!

By Tim H. from Olympia WA
Music Background: 50+ years of guitar playing; some gigging but mostly just self entertainment!

I just got one of these Miami Blue APII telecasters, and it is everything I was hoping for. The whole process went extremely well. I viewed the guitars in the gallery, picked the one that got my attention (the colors actually vary somewhat), ordered it, waited one week for shipment to the West Coast, opened the box, and did the "grand reveal." Since then, I've had trouble putting it down. The range of tones exceeds my Les Paul and Stratocaster guitars. The fidelity of the tones is incredible!! Beautiful guitar at a reasonable price, plus the $150 in bonus bucks... what a deal! I definitely agree with the YouTube bloggers, such as "intheblues"... Fender quality seems to be at an all time high. I am glad I made the decision, and I am thankful to my sales engineer, Tom Maxwell, for expediting the shipment -- despite all of the current challenges with retail, shipping, etc. Sweetwater rocks... quite literally!! Thank you very much. I'll be back.

Superb guitar

By alexander s. from Reno, NV

I love the playability of this guitar. I have only ever played through humbuckers and Gibsons, so I wanted a totally different sound. This really delivers! I've picked up and strummed some older 2010's American Standard Fenders in the past, and this one blows those out of the water. The neck feels amazing and played in! The tele tone is something else. My SG has been collecting dust since this one arrived. Totally different feel and sound! Would recommend.

Open the case and wow!

By Sweetwater Customer

When this guitar arrived and I opened the case, it was a special moment. Absolutely beautiful. The guitar was already in tune and set up beautifully. Not a spot or smudge on it. Thanks for that Sweetwater.
As far as the guitar goes, I've barely put it down in 3 weeks. Amazing feel and sound. Classic Telecaster with some great touches. The smoothed cutaway lets you get into those higher frets easily. The rounded neck makes for a smoother touch. I love the versatility in the sound. The extra push feature on the tone knob offers another layer of tone. To me, this is the pinnacle of classic American Fenders.

Surprisingly Good

By AKB48 T. from Mansfield, TX
Music Background: Always struggling

This is my first non-Stratocaster style guitar. It plays pretty well. Good sounds from the VMods. It's got a few high frets that had to be worked around by adjusting the truss rod and the bridge string height. It's a little harder making clean sounding chords, maybe due to the short radius. Perhaps a Telecaster style guitar like this will make us better players.
