Brought mine yesterday 3/2/24
In this same colour.
Beautiful guitar, never owned a tele before, plays so easy, the case is incredible.
Couldn't be happier so far

Your YouTube channel is hands-down, the best most straightahead and thorough review of Guitar that I’ve seen. Balanced, informative, cool and insightful yet spoken in an easy to understand manner. Great job congratulations!

I purchased this Fender American Pro II Telecaster in Black with maple fingerboard in November 2021 just before the Fender $200 price increase. The satin finish on the neck and rolled fingerboard edges make it an absolute pleasure to play. I love the sound of the V-Mod II Telecaster pickups but seldom do I find myself using the push-push tone control to activate series mode in position 2.

[DrJeebles]

I prefer simplicity in controls. I get option paralysis these days. My ears and my brain start fighting each other. I will mess with EQ and tone controls all day and end up playing not at all.
I'm loving this series, guys. I hope you do more guitar brands.

[JamesPetroff]

The blue is just great. I love it with the faintly greenish pickgard. Man, I got GAS

[tylerschepers]

Saving up for a Player Tele right now, tidepool is such a great color.

Keep the Gibson... I want the Fender 🇺🇸 professional 2 telecaster Miami Blue.
Awesome 🎸👍‼️ I was looking at a black Mex telecaster for modification and I asked the guy at the store if he had an 🇺🇸 professional 2 telecaster and he bought me the Miami Blue 🎸. As soon I I held it, I knew that this was my 🎸👍‼️

You’ll appreciate the strat belly cut contour one day. Give it a few more years and a few more beers.

I love my American Tele II. Quickly became my #1 guitar.

[Arragato]

Been playing for almost 20 years. Collecting many guitars and have had several Les Pauls, between the LP, Strat, & Tele I'm realizing more and more that tele may be the most versatile electric guitar period. Sounds incredible both clean and distorted, chugs really nicely, plays extremely easy, perfectly in-between the weight of a LP and strat, and takes pedals very well. I never had a "desert island" guitar but since I've picked up this pro ii I've come to a conclusion that if I was forced to sell my whole collection and keep 1 guitar it would be the tele. Was torn between this or the Vintage ii and I think the versatility is much better on the pro ii, with series/parallel for a thicker humbucker tone, and 22 frets vs 21. Also much easier to do a neck adjustment.

[johanndeadheadguy]

Just picked up a Butterscotch American Pro II. Then I saw this. I agree with everything you said. Tho I don't think I'll ever put a Humbucker in it. I did add Fender locking tuners.
And how do you keep that black knob from flying off?

[AlexW-wvnt]

Great review, very detailed! My only request is if youd demo the cleans a little more, but great review nonetheless 🤘

[olddogguitar]

Just got one this weekend. Love it so much I am sure my family is sick of me talking about it. Mine is three color burst with a rosewood fretboard. Such a great guitar.

[MusicbyMaggietheQuietKid]

I absolutely love the fretboard on that guitar, and with that color 😍
Such a shame that it's kinda pricey

[therealdoug]

Got mine today. Black. I'm in love. And agree with everything you said re: Strat vs Tele. Love my Strat's tone but there's just something brilliantly basic yet perfect about a Tele.

[garymitchell]

I received a pro II tele for a Christmas gift from my wife. Sounds amazing . Love the neck. Buzzes horribly on low E and A. I took it to a very well known guitar tech and he cant figure it out. Sent it back to Sweetwater. They worked on it and sent back to me. Still buzzes horribly. Really never received a replacement offer at all. Stuck with a buzzing guitar. I feel really bad for my wife. She is so disappointed.

[dr.stevenpennym.d.]

Great video. Any problems with the intonation?

[angusorvid]

Although the routing is cool for modding, I sure love a solid piece of wood with just one bridge bucker routing. It always gives you better tone.

[dragan]

I prefer the three saddles and especially brass. I had an LTD tele with belly and forearm cut and it sits better on the body and not uncomfortable as the straight cut guitars.
