The Fender American Professional Telecaster Maple in Butterscotch Blonde marks a fresh chapter in Fender's modern professional lineup. You've seen the original American Professional, the American Professional II, and the American Professional Classic. This refreshed American Professional Series brings a redesigned top-load/string-through bridge and compensated brass saddles for improved intonation and more flexible setup options. Fender also adds Series Mode switching for a thicker, higher-output sound beyond the familiar three-way Tele tones, while tighter-tolerance controls and treble bleed help keep the instrument clear and responsive at lower volume settings. The Butterscotch Blonde finish shows off the Ash wood grain underneath, while a one-ply black pickguard, and maple fingerboard give this version one of the most traditional Telecaster looks in the lineup, plus the updated neck, pickups, and bridge bringing the design firmly into modern working-player territory.

The Deep "C" maple neck features rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5" radius, and Fender's "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish for a smooth, comfortable feel. A sculpted neck heel improves upper-fret access, while 22 narrow tall frets provide a practical balance between classic Fender response and modern bending comfort. V-Mod III Telecaster single-coils deliver the twang, snap, and snarl that make the Tele such a useful instrument across country, rock, blues, roots music, and countless other styles.

The three-saddle top-load/string-through bridge gives players useful control over feel and tension, while ClassicGear compensated brass Bullet saddles improve intonation without sacrificing traditional brass-saddle character. Fender staggered sealed tuners, a bone nut, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment round out a reliable, easily maintained hardware package. We think the Butterscotch Blonde version is an especially strong choice for players who want the look of a classic Tele paired with the refinements of Fender's refreshed professional platform.
