Description
The Fender American Professional Telecaster Maple in Aged Cherry Burst 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 Aged Cherry Burst finish shows off the Ash wood grain underneath, while a white pearloid pickguard, and maple fingerboard give this version a more dressed-up appearance, and the familiar two-pickup Tele layout keeps the focus on versatility, clarity, and dependable everyday performance.
The Deep "C" maple neck uses rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5" radius, and Fender's "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish for a smooth, easy-playing feel. The sculpted heel improves access to the upper register, while 22 narrow tall frets provide plenty of room for bends and precise lead work. V-Mod III Telecaster single-coils retain the twang, snap, and bite that define the platform, while ClassicGear Precision potentiometers provide smooth control for subtle volume and tone changes on stage or in the studio.
A three-saddle top-load/string-through bridge lets players tailor string feel and tension to their preference, while ClassicGear compensated brass Bullet saddles improve intonation without abandoning the familiar response of a brass-saddle Tele. Fender staggered sealed tuners, a bone nut, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment help keep the instrument consistent and easy to set up. We think the Aged Cherry Burst version is an excellent fit for players who want the functionality of the refreshed American Professional Tele with a more distinctive visual treatment.
