Fender American Professional II Telecaster Left-Hand Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde

Fender showing some love to the lefties! From the garage, to the local club, to the stadium/arena, this left-handed American Professional II Telecaster is the workhorse Telecaster you've been looking for. Right off the bat, it looks like a classic 1950s Telecaster with the butterscotch blonde finish, black pickguard, and maple fretboard. But on a closer look and under the hood, it's been brought into the 21st century with all the features a working musician needs to succeed both in the studio and on stage. At the heart of the optimizations are the new V-Mod II pickups, which are full of vintage tone while still providing a bit more edge and punch. The difference is subtle, but effective in adding to the versatility of this classic design. The neck shape is familiar and comfortable and the resonance of the guitar is impressive, which may have something to do with being a very lightweight 7 lbs even - this Tele will be kind to your back after a long night of playing out.

Whether you're after rich, creamy leads out of the neck pickup or you're looking for sheer twang out of the bridge and effortless yet classic Fender playability, this Tele is going to take care of you for years and years to come, without a doubt.

The American Professional II Telecaster® draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player.

Our popular Deep "C” neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod II Telecaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the twang, snap and snarl that made the Tele famous. The new top-load/string-through bridge with compensated “bullet” saddles is our most comfortable, flexible Tele bridge yet – retaining classic brass-saddle tone and providing excellent intonation and flexible setup options, allowing you to tailor the tension and tone of each string to your liking.

The American Pro II Telecaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
