Get professional level of tones with this Fender American Professional II Telecaster in this stunning Faded Dakota Red finish. This is the ultimate evolution of the guitar that started it all, blending iconic "Golden Era" aesthetics with the high-performance modern features.  Here we have a special one....

This guitar was never previously owned, only utilized in demo videos by Fender's marketing department.  We picked it up at the studio in Corona next to the factory.  It's still perfectly clean without any signs of use other than the pickguard plastic and sticker being removed.  So, it's a great score!

The body is crafted from select Alder, offering the balanced, punchy frequency response that has made the Telecaster a studio staple for over seventy years. The Faded Dakota Red finish provides a sophisticated, slightly aged look that perfectly nails a classic vibe.  You get a Modern "C"-shaped neck with 9.5"-radius fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets for easy bending and the ability to bend without fretting out.

Under the hood, vintage-inspired Coastline '63 Telecaster® pickups deliver depth, punch and sparkle - you get true Tele tone, a bit more 60's than 50's, with a modern touch of being slightly overwound for an enhanced sound.  The uniquely engineered Greasebucket Tone System tames treble frequencies without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass, preserving carefully crafted sound. Unlike traditional tone controls, this sophisticated circuit maintains clarity and definition even when rolled back.

Pure in form and function, the vintage-style 3-brass saddle bridge provides classic tele twang and character. Staggered ClassicGear tuners merge traditional Fender aesthetic with modern precision.

Setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, this guitar is in excellent condition and ready to go.  The gig bag is included.  You've found a winner!
