Vintage Soul, Modern Playability
There's something about a Telecaster that just feels right in your hands — that familiar snap, the simplicity, the no-nonsense attitude. This American Professional Classic Telecaster takes everything you expect from a classic Tele and refines it for the way you play today. Built in the USA with a lively alder body and Coastline '63 single-coil pickups, this guitar delivers era-accurate early-1960s twang with a hotter, more robust output. The Faded Lake Placid Blue finish gives it that vintage vibe without trying too hard, and the mint green pickguard is a nice detail that catches your eye without shouting about it.
The Modern C maple neck provides a comfortable feel with a satin finish, while the 9.5-inch fingerboard radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets ensure even wide upper-position bends ring loud and clear. Whether you're tracking rhythm parts in the studio or working through a three-hour gig, this Tele feels natural from the first chord. It's built for players who want a guitar that sounds like the records they grew up with but plays like a modern instrument.
This is the kind of Telecaster that works across genres — country twang, indie jangle, blues grit, rock punch. It's a workhorse that looks good doing it.
Coastline '63 Pickups: Vintage Twang, Modern Output
Based on Fender's Pure Vintage designs, the Coastline '63 Telecaster pickups are slightly overwound to deliver enhanced Fender warmth, chime and punch. These single-coils start with all the usual suspects of an early-1960s-era Tele pickup — Alnico magnets, cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins — before bringing the recipe into the 21st century with a more authoritative wallop and genre-defying sonic flexibility.
The bridge pickup delivers sharp, cutting twang ideal for articulate leads, while the neck pickup adds warmth and depth for smooth rhythm work, producing a balanced blend of clarity and grit that responds beautifully to touch. The Greasebucket Tone System tames treble frequencies without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass, maintaining clarity and definition even when rolled back. It's a subtle but powerful feature that lets you shape your tone without muddying your sound.
The 3-position toggle switch gives you bridge pickup for that classic Tele bite, neck pickup for warm rhythm tones, or both pickups together for a fuller, more complex sound. Simple, versatile, and effective.
Built for Comfort, Tuned for Stability
This guitar features a bolt-on 4-bolt neck construction with a 25.5-inch scale length and 1.685-inch nut width. The satin urethane neck finish is smooth to the touch, allowing for effortless hand movement along the fretboard, while the medium-jumbo frets and synthetic bone nut provide precise intonation and allow for easy bending across all 22 frets.
The vintage-style, string-through-body bridge features a trio of uncompensated brass saddles — a spec championed by Tele players since the early 1950s for its ability to tame the Tele's signature high-end bite. Fender's staggered ClassicGear tuners combine retro style with rock-solid stability, giving you the vintage look with modern tuning precision.
The gloss urethane finish on the alder body provides protection and resonance, while the nickel/chrome hardware keeps the aesthetic clean and classic. It's a guitar that feels like it's been road-tested for decades, even if you're the first one to plug it in.
