    I don't understand why you cannot have both the maple and rosewood fingerboard options on all color variations. Just seems limiting for no reason. If you're going to shell out $1500+ you should be able to get any color scheme with whichever fingerboard you prefer.

You can get any combination of anything you want from Fender but not this series .It's awesome like it is maybe in a few years they will listen to you and expand the ability of options.Fender definitely listens to what people that love Fenders want.But now that's not an option.

    Love the contoured heel but, Fender, why won't you also add an arm bevel on a few of these? Not every player has the skinny forearms of your tester in the vid! Yes, I've done it myself, but the refinishing is a PITA and I'm betting some folks would rather buy an arm beveled tele stock. Particularly people for whom their #1 is a strat style guitar. (But they'll sell a ton of these either way.)

      I have them both and in hand they feel pretty different. The split coils are useable on the Deluxe but they don’t sound like normal single coil Tele pickups. They sound like the Deluxe pickups with less body…it’s hard to explain. That being said they’re good and totally useable. It’s an extremely versatile guitar. Its heavy on the front end and the headstock weighs it down a little but it’s extremely versatile. It’s got a ton of twang just FYI. I tried to just live with the Deluxe for a year and the regular Tele still reeled me in so I have both. They’re good complements to each other.

    I recently purchased an American Professional II Telecaster Deluxe and I love it. It's a beautiful guitar and it sounds terrific except...
    The bridge pickup is extremely microphonic.
    Any time I switch to the bridge pickup there is a high pitched tone that dominates everything and if I turn and face my amp it squeals like crazy. This problem is present no matter which of my 3 amps I am plugged into and only on the bridge pickup.
    I have 4 other guitars, and neither have this issue. I would not expect a problem like this with a professional level instrument.

    It’s almost insulting that Fender keeps ‘updating’ the American Standard. It’s all marketing. The tele was perfect in 1952. Are we really supposed to believe that these new ones are better than what they made before? With all the constant changes it is as though Fender doesn’t know what is good. They tell you a guitar is great (see the original American Pro) and a few years later they ‘improve’ it. Give me a break.

      I like the brass saddles too. But that’s not new for the American Pro II Teles... it was a feature of the original American Pro Teles too. The difference this time around is the profile with the bullet ends for comfort, but tonally speaking this isn’t an upgrade.

    • @davidburke2132
      @davidburke2132 3 роки тому +5

      The guitar you’re after (almost) exists. The Fender American Ultra Tele has the locking tuners and “modern saddles”, although a bone nut not Graph Tech, plus noiseless pickups on top of an a otherwise similar package to this guitar. Ultimately the American Standard Series, the American Pro which replaced it, and now the American Pro II have always been a range of guitars trying to strike a balance between some more modern features whilst retaining some very popular vintage specs. In this case as an example if you went to modern saddles rather than the more traditional brass ones on this guitar I expect you’d lose an awful lot more die-hard Tele fans than you’d gain more “modern” players. This range of guitars and its predecessors has always been a balance about trying to appeal to as many people as possible and if you want a Fender which is more progressive and modern the Ultra, and before it the Elites, etc. have always been what you needed to look to for that kind of guitar.

      @@pramesh.gurung you mean between the American Professional II Series and the Ultra Series? I’m not sure precisely what the price differential is between the ranges but it is true that the Ultra Series is more expensive, yes. Still, you pay for features on anything, and extra things like more exaggerated access carving, locking tuners, noiseless pickups, more sophisticated switching, compound radius fingerboard, etc. are definitely extra features. This is another reason why Fender will be cautious about how many such upgrades features they carry across to the American Pro II Series as they have a price point to consider.

      @@pramesh.gurung the new American Professional II models aren’t nearly 2k in either US dollars or British Pounds (where I’m from). The base model Teles and Strats in the States have an MSRP of $1499 before sales tax (which I don’t believe is much different to the outgoing American Pro models). Here in the UK the “street price” of those same guitars is typically £1599 (which in this case includes sales tax), which is a bit more than the outgoing models but mainly because having been out for such a long time those older models are typically somewhat discounted on the high street, something which you can’t reasonably expect of a newly introduced model.
