Fender's Telecaster guitar has been a staple of nearly every music genre for decades. Their American Professional Classic line combines classic styling and looks with some modern refinements, and it's a solid choice for a U.S.-made Tele that just delivers.

Dual overwound Coastline '63 pickups give you a warm, vintage tone with slightly higher output than traditional Telecaster pickups. Fender's Greasebucket tone circuit cuts the highs, but doesn't leave you without treble entirely, so you can get nice tones even with the knob rolled back.
An alder body, a modern C-shaped neck, and medium-jumbo frets make it play like a dream. The Telecaster is a lightweight, no-nonsense rocker, and this American-made model represents great value for a high-quality, workhorse instrument.
