Fender American Professional II Telecaster (Butterscotch Blonde) is a right-handed six-string electric guitar. It combines a recognisable body shape, 25.5" (648 mm) scale and SS pickup layout. The Butterscotch Blonde finish highlights the body contours and identifies this version in the SoundsGood catalogue.
Body, neck and playing feel
The body uses Roasted Pine, the neck is Maple and the fingerboard is Maple. A Deep "C" profile shapes the feel in your hand. The 25.5" (648 mm) scale provides familiar fret spacing for chords, riffs and lead passages.
The fingerboard has a 9.5" (241 mm) radius, 22 Narrow Tall frets and a 1.685" (42.8 mm) nut width. These dimensions help you compare finger spacing, bending feel and the transition between lower and upper positions.
The Deep C profile and Super-Natural satin neck finish provide a smooth grip. Rolled fingerboard edges and a sculpted neck heel ease the transition to the upper frets. V-Mod II pickups are voiced for their individual positions.
Pickups and sound controls
The neck pickup is a V-Mod II Single-Coil Tele and the bridge pickup is a V-Mod II Single-Coil Tele. Pickup positions let you compare a rounder neck voice with a more defined bridge attack.
Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone. The selector chooses individual pickups and their combinations. Adjusting volume and picking strength helps you balance accompaniment and lead passages.
A push-push Tone switch engages series wiring for a fuller combined pickup sound. The bridge uses compensated brass Bullet saddles and supports both top-loading and string-through-body installation.
Bridge and hardware
The bridge is a 3-Saddle Top-Load/String-Through Tele with Compensated Brass “Bullet” Saddles. Tuning machines: Fender Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered. The saddles allow action and intonation adjustments to suit the string gauge and playing approach.
Included: Deluxe Molded Case (Included).
