The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Telecaster is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender.

Developed by vintage pickup master Tim Shaw, the brand-new V-Mod single-coil pickups are voiced specifically for each position, mixing alnico magnet types to produce powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The newly redesigned Telecaster bridge sports three compensated brass barrel saddles for the perfect combination of vintage style with modern feel and performance. The modern "Deep C"- shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords.

Step up and stake your claim to a legend.

Features:

V-Mod Pickups
V-Mod Telecaster pickups are engineered with a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types. Each pickup is voiced specifically for its position, creating high-output tone with vintage warmth and the crisp, clear sound
that made Fender a legend.

New "Deep C" Neck Profile
Designed for comfort and speed, the new American Professional "Deep C" neck profile sports more substantial shoulders?somewhat between a "Modern C"- and "U"-shaped profile. The increased mass and
altered geometry creates a more natural feel that's perfect for chord and single-note playing alike.

Narrow-Tall Frets
Narrow-tall frets are taller and narrower than their medium jumbo cousins, making them especially effective for bending notes and playing chords up the neck with perfect intonation.

New Bridge
The new Telecaster bridge sports three compensated brass barrel saddles for accurate intonation and vintage-informed tone. Combining vintage style with modern feel and performance, the redesigned "ashtray"
cover stays out of your way, even when palm-muting.

Treble Bleed Circuit
The treble bleed circuit maintains the high end when turning down the volume knob to reduce gain, letting your tone shine through, no matter where the instrument's volume is set.

New Hardshell Case
The Elite Molded Case features body-hugging contours to protect your cherished instrument, TSA latches for increased security and nested stacking ability for easy storage and secure transport.

New, out of the box, this guitar was flawless. It could easily have been a Custom Shop build. It's a modern production of a classic. I'm glad to own it.

Purchased this from L&M, they were very helpful. The deep C neck fits my hands perfectly & the back feels like marble. The single coil v-mod pickups sound great. Stays in tune wonderfully and the tall frets are great for bending.

I am a 30 year Gibson player, but I have always wanted a Telecaster. I saw this one on display and decided to try it out. When I picked it up, I knew instantly that I had to have it. Everything about it is executed perfectly; the feel of the neck, the frets, the weight and balance, and the sound unplugged was just amazing... the notes rang out like they were being plucked on a harp. Plugged in, this guitar delivers all of the Telecaster tone you could ever want and then some. The middle position is a bluesy dream. The bridge pickup is beautifully twangy and powerful, the neck pickup is smooth like Ted Greene Jazz. This is my perfect Telecaster!

I rented this guitar with the intent of buying it, but then decided after checking so many reviews of the MIM that I'd save some money. I purchase the MIM Deluxe and brought it home to play and compare with the Pro version I still had on rent. Night and day to me and the MIM went back the very next day and I purchased the American Professional.

Went in looking for a good used Tele. Had this new so I figured I'd just try it out, ended up buying it. No regrets, I love it. Played through my Deville it's the perfect sound.

I had been looking for a tele for a while, went to the store and tried a few guitars and this one was the one that stood out the most. The ash body and maple fretboard made it sound a lot brighter and snappier than the others I believe. Although the olympic white with rosewood was very nice also, I ended up getting this one, and I'm very happy with it. Great sounding pickups, especially the neck pick up that surprised me, the best sounding neck pickup on a stock telecaster that I have heard. Narrow-tall frets are also very nice, and the new neck profile is very comfortable, a little chunkier than the american standard, which I like. Compensated brass saddles are also a plus for me, I just think it makes the guitar look cooler, but that's just me. Overall, great guitar, 10/10

Went into the shop just to look around. Sales manager put this guitar in my hands. Traded in all my guitars for it that day. Narrow-tall frets are my favourite change from previous models. So smooth. Better control. Whatever they did to the tone knob is great. Doesn't sacrifice a lot of volume if turned down a bit. It's finally useful. Butterscotch Blonde is just classic. Only gripe is the compensated saddle peices. Having a bit of trouble with string spacing. Nothing major. Price is a bit steep too. 10/10 Would buy for the first time again.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
