Fender American Pro Telecaster Left-Hand Electric Guitar. Maple FB, Black
DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE DESIGN
Fender is guided by one clear, simple directive: make life better for musicians. While the original Telecaster certainly did that (and then some), Fender wasn't content to rest on their laurels. Their team of mad scientists examined every component in near-microscopic detail. If they were able to improve it with a new design or modern materials they did; if it didn't need improvement, they left it alone. When the wood chips and solder fumes settled, what was left was the American Professional Telecaster—everything you need to play your best.
