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

Oh Wow!

I made the trip to Sweetwater today intending to play all rosewood necked Tele's in the store. This was one I asked them to set aside as the drive was long and two of the three in the store had sold; ironically this very guitar was my "pick" of the three.

I played this through a Fender Blues Jr amp and immediately made my decision. This guitar sounds and feels perfect. It's going to be a studio guitar and I plan to record with it all day tomorrow. Oh and I bought the amp too.

Staff was amazing and every person working there was helpful!

Rich Tele legacy, infused with modern refinements

I've had the Am Pro II Telecaster for several months now with absolutely no regrets. I didn't need to touch the initial setup, as Sweetwater did a great job. The modern refinements along with the V-Mod II pickups deliver the quintessential Tele twang with impressive articulation that would be expected from a vintage Telecaster. The "Greasebucket" mode adds to a warmer, rounder tone, push the pot all the way for a raw, vintage vibe. The Deep "C" neck profile fits snugly in my hand, and the satin finish allows for speedy runs. I don't know if these are stainless frets or not, but I am impressed with the quality and with the precision of the build. I got a keeper!

I am playing it through a Fender Blues Jr., and recently got the Fender Tone Master Pro. It is simply amazing.

My First Telecaster

I love this guitar. It's beautiful, feels nice in my hands and it sounds great. I'm already playing way more than I was before. And thanks to Paul for the great service. I look forward to doing more business with Paul and Sweetwater over the years.
Rated 5/5

This covers all tones - Strat, Les Paul, Es-335, even Metal

I am a believer - single coils can blow away a humbucker if wound right, with the right magnets, and the right hardware and tone wood. I have owned every mainstream guitar and this tele is my new gigging monster. I can not believe the bridge pickup it growls with amazing sonic balance. I was able to dial in The Cult's booming chords, the Stones Start Me Up, Mike Campbell's perfect Petty tone, even Van Halen, Metallica, and Jet's tone. The Middle pickup is beat in series if you want full humbuckers tones like Lenny Kravitz, the Bridge tones mirror SRV - I mean nail them even better than my strat. I am in love with this guitar. The neck is absolutely butter, bending notes in the upper neck is effortless with the radius and extra reach is easy with the contoured heel. The weight is spot on 8 lbs, which is perfect and it balances well on a strap. Again, the tones I am getting are bringing my tone alive for Classic Rock, Blues, Country and Southern Rock., I have a PRS, Les Paul, Es-335 and a Strat and some custom guitars, but this guitar is WAY more utilitarian and effective. The Olympic White color is drop dead gorgeous and relic-y with creamy overtones. The Rosewood neck feels right to me but the neck did have a bit of fret sprout but c'mon it's a tele neck with rounded edges, some fret sprout is going to be present. The case is lightweight, molded and has very thick furry felt. Very happy with this guitar and so glad I didn't settle for a MIM. If you ever doubted a tele as being to tele sounding, this guitar solves that issue. Buy one!!

Am Pro II Tele

My first impression has not changed. I have had this guitar for a couple of weeks now and still impressed. The neck feels perfect. Frets and neck finish are good. Overall weight is good. The V-Mod pickups sound good clean and with heavy gain. It is a keeper.
