Fender American Professional II Telecaster - Olympic White

Fender American Professional II Telecaster - Olympic White  

There is perhaps no silhouette more iconic in the history of amplified music than the Telecaster. From the gritty rhythms of Keith Richards to the virtuoso chicken-pickin' of Brad Paisley, the Tele has been the backbone of rock and country for over seven decades. The American Professional II Telecaster takes that legendary workhorse DNA and refines it for the modern player who needs reliability without sacrificing soul. Built with a resonant Alder body and finished in a classic Olympic White, this guitar pairs the snap and articulation you expect from a Fender with the warmth of a rosewood fingerboard, creating a tonal palette that is both cutting and complex.

Playability is where the American Professional II really sets itself apart. The "Deep C" neck profile has been treated to smooth, rolled fingerboard edges and a "Super-Natural" satin finish, making it feel like an old friend the moment you pick it up. The newly sculpted neck heel also allows you to reach those high frets with ease, removing the blocky barrier found on vintage models. Under the hood, the V-Mod II single-coil pickups have been voiced to be more articulate than ever, delivering that signature Tele twang and snarl, but with a refined clarity that handles high-gain settings surprisingly well.

Perhaps the most player-centric update is the new top-load/string-through bridge with compensated brass "bullet" saddles. This seemingly small detail allows you to tailor the tension and tone of each string to your specific liking—string it through the body for maximum sustain and snap, or top-load it for a slinkier feel and warmer attack. Whether you are gigging every weekend or recording your next masterpiece, this Telecaster represents the new standard for professional instruments.
