Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster
The perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance, the American Professional Classic Telecaster® captures the timeless character of a golden-era Fender® while introducing innovative features designed for today's musicians.
At its heart, a pair of vintage-inspired Coastline™ '63 Telecaster® pickups deliver the unmistakable twang, punch and sparkle that made the Telecaster a legend. Rich in character and full of dynamic response, these pickups provide authentic vintage tone with exceptional clarity and articulation.
The comfortable Modern "C"-shaped neck is paired with a 9.5" radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, offering a smooth, familiar feel that suits everything from classic rhythm work to expressive lead playing. Vintage-style hardware and Fender Staggered ClassicGear™ tuners complete the traditional aesthetic while providing dependable tuning stability and performance.
For the first time, the American Professional Classic Telecaster® introduces the revolutionary Fender Silent System™ — a patent-pending, passive and completely battery-free design that dramatically reduces unwanted single-coil hum while preserving every nuance of authentic Telecaster tone. Combined with Fender's renowned Greasebucket™ Tone System, players can roll off highs without adding unwanted bass or sacrificing clarity.
Finished in a selection of custom-faded vintage and signature Fender® colours, this professional-grade instrument delivers classic style, exceptional playability and innovative performance enhancements.
