General
For more than 70 years, the Telecaster has been the genre-defining poster-child for generation after generation of musicians - from Jazz to Country, from New Wave to Indie. Never going out of style, this comeback-kid of a guitar has been given the refreshing Fender American Professional II treatment, so it's just as innovative, inspiring, and just as solidly reliable as it ever was. This fully tweaked and up-to-date pro-grade model offers that familiar and flexible Tele tone - just better. It also comes complete with its very own deluxe case.
The American Professional II Telecaster: Compulsive Playability
Fender have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at this model to ensure maximum playing comfort. So, while this means you get a much-loved deep C-profile neck, it also means you get a 'Super-Natural' satin gloss coated back-side for an ultra sleek and fast feel, while the fretboard edges have been thoughtfully rounded. Even the top corner of the heel and neck plate has been completely cut-off and smoothed down, all in the name of improved reach when gripping the highest of the 22 narrow-tall frets. The bridge has also been tweaked, since it can now be set up as either a string-through-body or toploader as preferred, so you can attain the perfect, and most personalised sound and feel possible. The three compensated brass 'bullet' saddles have also been freshly contoured.
The V-Mod II: The Sound of the Next Generation
The American Professional II Telecaster has been loaded with a pair of brand-new V-Mod II pickups, both specially voiced for their position and for this particular Tele. These insanely accurate next-gen single-coils have all of that familiar and friendly twang, snap, and snarl with the added treat of a push/push tone pot that can be toggled to flip the pickups from series to parallel and back again, giving this newest of pro-standard guitars an even broader range, and a near-gymnastic level of flexibility.

Wrote the following about Fender American Professional II Telecaster RW Dark Night Electric Guitar with Case
The Dark Night colour-way is a bit different from the classic Butterscotch and Sunburst colours that we all know and love, but I love it, especially with the contrasting brass saddles in the bridge.
I bought a B-Stock guitar which did have a small dent in the body, but it’s not very visible and worth it for me for the reduced price.
The guitar is a joy to play due to neck, which feels great to me. I Love the simplicity of a Telecaster. The hard case provides ample protection and fits the guitar snug.
I upgraded from a Mexican made Player Telecaster which was also a fab guitar but I have no regrets selling it to fund the Pro II which I’ll likely keep for the foreseeable.
