The Fender Ltd Ed American Pro II Telecaster Ash Body Roasted Neck is at the height of premium Fender craftsmanship.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionCustom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups
The Fender Nocaster pickups pay homage to their illustrious heritage, meticulously crafted to faithfully replicate the unique twang and shimmer of the original Nocaster guitar. These period-correct single-coil pickups provide a tight low end and clear, balanced midrange - a testament to their vintage-inspired design.
As for their features, the enamel-coated magnet wire contributes to a warm vintage tone that is both rich and expressive. Flush-mount alnico 3 magnets are used for a more focused sound and superior dynamics, ensuring an even string response across all six strings. A tin-plated copper base plate further adds to the tonal quality, enhancing the overall durability of the pickups.
Deep "C" neck profile with a "Super-Natural" satin finish
The American Pro II Telecaster features a deep "C" neck profile that offers the perfect blend of comfort and stability, making it ideal for any playing style. The smooth-rolled fingerboard edges ensure a seamless feel as you move up and down the neck, while the satin finish provides a natural, unvarnished feel that lets your hands glide effortlessly.
The neck heel has also been redesigned, giving you better access to the upper frets and allowing for more comfortable playing in the higher registers. Whether you're strumming chords or shredding solos, this Telecaster's neck will feel like an extension of your hand.
Top-load/string-through bridge with compensated "bullet" saddles
The new top-load/string-through bridge on the American Pro II Telecaster offers the best of both worlds - the classic brass-saddle tone and stability, along with flexible setup options. The "bullet" saddles are compensated to provide precise intonation for each individual string, while also allowing you to adjust the tension and tone of each string to your liking. Whether you prefer a tighter, snappier sound or a looser, warmer tone, the bridge on this Limited Edition Telecaster can accommodate your personal preference with ease.
Roasted maple neck
The roasted maple neck on the American Pro II Telecaster is another premium feature that sets it apart from standard models. This process involves heating the wood at a high temperature to remove any excess moisture, resulting in a stronger, more resonant neck that can better withstand environmental changes. The result is a smooth and stable playing experience with enhanced tonal qualities, making this Telecaster an ideal choice for professional musicians.
