Fender Telecaster American Professional II Rw Dark Night - Refurbished

A Modern Telecaster in the Line of Fender Professional Instruments

Born from over seventy years of Telecaster evolution, the American Professional II clearly targets demanding guitarists who want classic Fender character with concrete improvements in comfort and versatility. The "Tele" identity is immediately recognizable, but with smoother playability (sculpted heel, rounded edges) and more flexible electronics to adapt to studio and live settings.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to professional guitarists seeking a reliable, precise, and expressive instrument. It excels in country, rock, indie, funk, and pop, and remains very comfortable whenever attack, dynamics, and excellent note-to-note definition are needed. The 22 narrow-tall frets facilitate bending and provide a modern feel without compromising the Telecaster spirit.

The Sound

The combination of a alder body and maple neck provides a balanced, lively, and very clear foundation in the mix, while the rosewood fingerboard adds a slightly softer attack and a smoother high end. The V-Mod II pickups retain vintage grain (brightness, twang, "snap") with more precision and better level balance between positions. The "Treble Bleed" circuit maintains clarity when lowering the volume, ideal for switching from rhythm to lead without losing treble. Finally, the push-push control enables a series mode (both pickups together) for a thicker and more powerful sound than a parallel Tele, useful for beefing up a verse or boosting a solo. The 3 compensated brass saddle bridge keeps the Tele bite while improving intonation, and the Top-Load setup offers a looser string tension feel if desired.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay within original specifications, you can consider a set of Fender USA 250L strings in nickel steel .009-.042 (part number 0730250403). A stock of picks and a microfiber cloth are also suitable for regular maintenance and consistent playing.
