Fender American Professional II Telecaster

This version of the Telecaster doesn't try to reinvent the wheel – but it does sand down a few of the rough edges. The V-Mod II pickups retain the essential Tele spank and snap but have a more even response, especially on the bridge.

The neck heel carve and rolled fingerboard edges are subtle changes that affect how it feels more than how it sounds. It's the kind of guitar you can take on tour, bring into the studio, or use to write at home. There's a sense of quiet confidence about it.
