ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The American Professional II Telecaster is a popular choice for musicians looking for a guitar with a comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. Focused on providing comfort, the tele features a rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate that improve access to the upper register to make leads easier and more comfortable. The Deep “C” neck profile offers a natural feel that’s made for chording and single-note playing. New V-Mod II Telecaster single-coil pickups provide articulate tones with bell-like chime and warmth. A performance-friendly design feature adds a fatter tone not typically found on a Telecaster. Located on volume control, the push-push switch triggers the series mode in position two to use both pickups to create the tone. The American Professional II Telecaster is designed to meet the needs of modern players with a surplus of user-centric features.
