A Modernized Thinline Telecaster from the American Professional II Series
This Thinline Telecaster revisits a Fender icon with contemporary specifications designed for both stage and studio. It retains the characteristic Tele aesthetic and "twang" while offering a lighter semi-hollow construction and advanced V-Mod II electronics, placing it at the heart of Fender's professional range.
For Which Musicians and Styles?
Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, this Tele excels in indie, pop, funk, country, and rock thanks to its quick response and precise dynamics. Its versatility-clear percussive tones, edgy crunch, and thicker series sound-makes it an excellent "go-to" guitar for both live performance and recording.
Sound Characteristics
The semi-hollow ash body adds air, projection, and woody lows while reducing the instrument's weight. The V-Mod II Single-Coil pickups deliver a crisp treble and the classic Tele bite. The series mode, activated by the push-push tone knob, thickens the mids and approaches the character of a humbucker, ideal for powerful leads and rhythms. The maple neck and fretboard add attack and "snap." The 3 brass saddle bridge compensates intonation and enhances sustain, while the top-load or string-through option allows you to adjust tension and response.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- 9-42 nickel string set (Fender 250L .009-.042) to maintain original gauge and feel.
- Standard guitar strap and 6.35 mm instrument cable, universally compatible.
- Clip-on chromatic tuner for quick tuning adjustments on the headstock.
- Guitar stand type A or cradle style, compatible with Telecaster body shapes. The instrument comes with a molded hard case.
