Most Telecasters are made from alder or ash. This one is different. The Fender American Professional II Roasted Pine Telecaster is built from roasted pine and that choice of wood is what makes this guitar genuinely unique in the American Professional II lineup. Roasted pine is thermally treated at high temperatures which removes moisture and resins from the wood and leaves it lighter, more resonant, and more stable than untreated pine. The result is a body that vibrates freely and openly in a way that translates directly into tone. Players who pick this guitar up for the first time consistently comment on how alive it feels in their hands.

The Natural finish lets the roasted pine speak for itself. The grain is visible and beautiful and the warm honey character of the wood comes through in a way that a painted finish would completely hide. This is a guitar that looks handsome and understated in a way that is genuinely hard to photograph. It is even better in person and we have it on the floor at The Pied Piper Music Store New Albany showroom ready for you to play.

The V-Mod II single coil pickups are the soul of the American Professional II Telecaster. Fender voiced them using vintage inspired formvar wire and carefully calibrated Alnico magnets and the result is that iconic Telecaster twang with enhanced clarity and punch that cuts through any mix. Bridge pickup is bright, snappy, and authoritative. Neck pickup is warm and full. The redesigned Deep C neck with rolled fingerboard edges and sculpted heel ensures effortless playability and comfortable upper fret access. The Super Natural satin finish on the neck feels broken in from the first note. The top load and string through bridge with compensated brass saddles gives you superior intonation while letting you customize tension and tone per string. Bone nut for better sustain and tone transfer. Premium hardshell case included. Made by Fender's master builders in Corona California.

At 1939 dollars this is a serious and distinctive American made Telecaster from an authorized Fender dealer. If you want a Telecaster that plays and sounds like an American Professional II but feels and resonates like nothing else in the lineup this is the one. Players in New Albany, Columbus, Westerville, Dublin, Gahanna, Powell, and all across the Columbus Ohio metro area come into The Pied Piper of New Albany showroom to discover this guitar and leave genuinely surprised by how special it is. Come in and play it. We think you will feel the difference immediately.
