Overview

Vintage tone meets modern performance.

The Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster rosewood fingerboard electric guitar blends the iconic sound and feel of a vintage Tele with thoughtful modern updates for today's players. Boasting an alder body with a sleek gloss urethane finish, this guitar delivers the snappy response and resonant punch that made the Telecaster legendary. A fast maple neck, paired with a warm rosewood fingerboard, offers the perfect balance of comfort and playability. Outfitted with Fender's new Coastline '63 single-coil pickups and the refined Greasebucket tone circuit, this Tele maintains its unmistakable twang while offering precise tonal control without sacrificing clarity. With a three-saddle vintage-style bridge, elegant nickel/chrome hardware and a deluxe gig bag included, the American Professional Classic Telecaster is a stage-ready workhorse built for players who demand both tradition and innovation in one beautifully crafted instrument.

Resonant Alder Body With Timeless Appeal

The American Professional Classic Telecaster starts with a foundation of solid alder—a time-honored tonewood known for its balanced, full-bodied sound. This lightweight wood ensures a dynamic tonal range that handles everything from smooth, warm lows to crisp, cutting highs. The gloss urethane finish adds durability while enhancing the guitar's classic aesthetic. Whether you're chasing classic twang or exploring modern tones, the alder body responds with clarity and projection, making this Tele a versatile platform for countless styles. The streamlined, comfortable contours ensure the guitar feels just right, whether you're standing under stage lights or woodshedding in the studio.

Fast Maple Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard

Designed for speed, comfort and durability, the American Professional Classic Telecaster's neck features a satin urethane finish that ensures smooth, friction-free movement, ideal for fast runs and effortless chord transitions. Topped with a rosewood fingerboard, the neck delivers a rich, warm response that tempers the Tele's natural bite, adding depth to your sound. Medium-jumbo frets make bending and vibrato effortless, giving players more control for expressive solos and melodic phrasing. Whether you're a rhythm player laying down steady grooves or a lead guitarist ripping into soulful licks, the neck's ergonomic shape and smooth fingerboard make it a dream to play for hours on end.

Coastline Pickups Deliver Tele Twang With Modern Versatility

Fender's Coastline '63 single-coil pickups give the American Professional Classic Telecaster a modern edge without sacrificing that unmistakable Tele sound. The bridge pickup delivers the punchy, twangy bite Telecasters are famous for—bright and snappy without sounding harsh—while the neck pickup provides smooth, warm tones ideal for clean chords, smoky leads or jazz-inspired phrasing. Complementing these pickups is Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit, which lets you roll off highs without adding unwanted bass, maintaining clarity and balance across all settings. Together, this setup captures the Tele’s signature snap and growl with enough versatility to explore blues, rock, country and beyond. No matter your style, the Coastline single-coils and Greasebucket circuit ensure your tone stays dynamic and articulate.

Vintage-Inspired Hardware Built for Modern Performance

When it comes to hardware, the American Professional Classic Telecaster carefully balances vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. The three-saddle vintage-style bridge with brass barrel saddles captures the raw, punchy feel of classic Teles while offering improved intonation and picking hand comfort for today's demanding players. Fender ClassicGear tuners combine old-school looks with smooth, precise tuning stability. Every detail, from the nickel/chrome hardware to the deluxe gig bag, reflects Fender's dedication to craftsmanship, blending form and function for the modern player who values both authenticity and performance.

A Modern Take on a Timeless Workhorse

The Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster rosewood fingerboard electric guitar redefines what a Telecaster can be—a fusion of heritage tone and modern upgrades built to meet the demands of today's musicians. It's got the punchy, dynamic sound that made the Tele famous, paired with fast playability, versatile electronics and vintage-inspired hardware that's ready for anything. Whether you're a gigging pro, a studio workhorse or a weekend warrior chasing iconic tones, this Tele delivers with style, precision and legendary Fender craftsmanship. Experience the next generation of a true classic—built to inspire, perform and last a lifetime.
