Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster Rosewood Faded Black w/ Deluxe Gig Bag

1) Overview

The Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster in Faded Black delivers the perfect mix of vintage Telecaster character and modern playability. Designed for discerning players, it pairs Coastline™ ’63 single-coil pickups with timeless styling and reliable construction—bringing all the feel and tone of a golden-era Fender® into a modern instrument built for today’s music.

Its Modern “C” maple neck and 9.5" rosewood fingerboard offer a familiar, fast-playing profile ideal for rhythm and lead alike. The 3-saddle vintage-style Tele® bridge with slotted brass barrel saddles enhances sustain and twang, while ClassicGear™ staggered tuners ensure precise tuning stability. Finished in Faded Black gloss urethane and fitted with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, this Telecaster looks as sophisticated as it sounds—elegant, expressive, and unmistakably Fender.
