Fender American Professional Telecaster 3-Color Sunburst (533)

The American Professional Telecaster® draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.

Our popular Deep "C" neck sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod III Telecaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the twang, snap and snarl that made the Tele famous, while ClassicGear™ Precision™ Potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper for effortless, reliable performance.

The new top-load/string-through bridge with compensated saddles is our most comfortable, flexible Tele bridge yet - retaining classic brass-saddle tone and providing excellent intonation and flexible setup options, allowing you to tailor the tension and tone of each string to your liking.

The American Pro Telecaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
