Fender Telecaster American Professional II Rw Sunburst

A Telecaster Built to Pro Standards of the American Professional II Series

Heir to over 70 years of Fender evolution, the American Professional II Telecaster carries the timeless DNA of the Tele (clear attack, snap, dynamics) while elevating it to a level of comfort and reliability clearly aimed at the "working instrument". It sits at the heart of the modern USA range: a Tele instantly familiar, but optimized where guitarists truly demand it (neck ergonomics, access to high notes, versatile pickup positions, stability, and tuning accuracy).

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This Telecaster is aimed at intermediate to professional guitarists who want a versatile, solid, and expressive electric guitar. It excels in country, blues, funk, indie, pop, and rock: from ultra-percussive chord playing to single-note lines requiring precision. The 22 narrow-tall frets facilitate bending, and the sculpted heel makes solos in the upper register more natural.

The Sound

The combination of a alder body and V-Mod II single-coil pickups delivers a balanced sound with a clear attack and excellent clarity, typical of the Telecaster. The bridge pickup provides the twang and bite for punchy rhythms and cutting leads, while the neck pickup offers a rounder, singing tone. The Treble Bleed circuit helps maintain defined highs when lowering the volume, and the push-push switch (series mode) allows for a thicker and more powerful tone than the classic parallel Tele, handy for switching from a crisp clean to a denser sound without changing guitars. The bridge with compensated brass saddles preserves the vintage character while improving intonation, with the Top-Load option providing a looser string tension feel.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original setup, .009-.042 electric strings (nickel-plated steel) are perfectly suited. The instrument comes with a molded hard case: practical for transport, protection, and storage.
