Deceptively Simple Design

Fender is guided by one clear, simple directive: make life better for musicians. While the original Telecaster certainly did that (and then some), they weren’t content to rest on their laurels. Their team of mad scientists examined every component in near-microscopic detail. If they were able to improve it with a new design or modern materials they did; if it didn’t need improvement, they left it alone. When the wood chips and solder fumes settled, what was left was the American Professional Telecaster—everything you need to play your best

Professional is an attitude. Creativity is a way of life. These instruments are built for players who are looking to push the boundaries of creativity and personal expression forwards

V-Mod pickups—crafted with a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types—and the newly redesigned ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position

The new “Deep C” neck profile offers more substantial shoulders, creating a comfortably natural playing feel. American Professional Precision Bass guitars use the ‘63 P Bass® neck profile while the Jazz Bass features a fast-playing, slim “Modern C”-shaped profile

Fender have added three new models to the American Professional Series: the Tele® Deluxe, Jazzmaster® and Jaguar® guitars. Three new colors—Sonic Gray, Mystic Seafoam and Antique Olive—are joined by the revival of their instantly recognizable Butterscotch Blonde (available only on Tele models)
