Fender American Professional II Telecaster Deluxe – Dark Night w/ Rosewood Fingerboard

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 Deluxe, features several improvements and upgrades that push the classic design to new heights. V-Mod II Double Tap humbuckers give you signature ‚Äòbucker heft with a tasty top-end sparkle. The upgraded ‚Äúcut‚Äù 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 Deluxe sets the tone for what a professional-level instrument should look, sound, and feel like.

For the American Professional II Telecaster Deluxe, Fender’s pickup guru, Tim Shaw, created a new breed of V-Mod humbucking pickups. Fittingly dubbed the V-Mod II Double Tap pickups, they deliver a hearty humbucking punch with enhanced clarity and articulation. The newest version of the American Professional also has an upgraded bridge pickup in the form of a Double Tap humbucker. Running it wide open yields a punchy tone with plenty of character. With the Push-Push tone knob, you can get realistic single-coil sounds. Whether you’re keeping it clean or getting gritty, the Fender American Professional II Telecaster Deluxe will sound right at home.

The Deep-C neck profile that you’ll find on the Fender American Professional II Telecaster Deluxe 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, which 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.
