Fender American Professional II Telecaster®, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dark Night

The American Professional II Telecaster in Dark Night blends timeless Fender heritage with modern refinements designed for today’s working musicians. Its alder body and bold gradient finish give it a sleek, high‑end presence, while the classic Telecaster silhouette keeps everything instantly familiar. This model feels premium the moment you pick it up—balanced, resonant, and crafted with the precision you expect from Fender’s flagship American series.

Equipped with V‑Mod II Telecaster single‑coils, the American Pro II Tele delivers articulate clarity, enhanced dynamics, and the unmistakable Tele bite—now smoother and more versatile than ever. The upgraded electronics include a push‑push tone control for series wiring on the 3‑way switch, unlocking thicker, humbucker‑like tones without sacrificing the Tele’s signature snap. Whether you’re chasing crystalline cleans, gritty blues drive, or tight country twang, this Telecaster adapts effortlessly.

Playability is where the American Pro II truly shines. The Deep “C” neck with rolled edges, satin finish, and a sculpted neck heel makes upper‑fret access feel natural and fluid. Paired with a top‑load/string‑through bridge and compensated brass saddles, the guitar offers improved intonation, tuning stability, and a more comfortable feel under the picking hand. From studio sessions to live stages, the American Pro II Telecaster is built to perform at the highest level.
