A "Golden Age" Telecaster Revisited for the American Professional Series
The American Professional Classic Telecaster embodies the spirit of great vintage Fenders while incorporating design choices suited to today's demands. It retains the Telecaster DNA (solid body, vintage bridge, iconic aesthetics), enhanced by performance-oriented manufacturing: neck comfort, tuning stability, and simple yet highly effective electronics.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile, expressive, and reliable Telecaster. Its SS (single-single) pickup configuration excels in country, blues, rock, indie, funk, and pop: from crisp rhythmic chanks to biting leads, as well as warmer, singing tones on the neck pickup.
Sound
The alder body provides a very "Fender" balance: present mids, clear highs, and great uniformity, perfect for maintaining definition in a mix. The Coastline '63 pickups (single coils) emphasize attack and dynamics: a precise and incisive bridge pickup, and a softer neck pickup ideal for warm melodic lines. The 3-position selector allows instant switching from a sharp twang to a rounder tone, with a middle position combining clarity and thickness for chords.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This Telecaster comes with Fender USA 250L strings (.009-.042) and a Deluxe gig bag. To preserve the original feel, a string set in gauge .009-.042 is the most consistent choice.
