Congratulations, I was torn between this and the Tele 63 II, I think I like the Versatility of this one much more! May get it in the Sea foam green and rosewood FB, not to mention it is 400.00 Less than the 63 Vintage II.

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.

Ha! I remember it well, the morning I took out my credit card to buy this tele, was the day they raised the prices 200 on their teles and strats. I said, F this. ha The pisser, the night before I went online had my card out and the site froze up and I was beat and said, f this, I will just order it tomorrow. ha

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.

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.

What string gauge are you using? Maybe changing the gauge for a thicker set or trying another brand. Also, is the buzzing just hearable coming out of the guitar, or can you hear it coming out of the amp as well? If it doesn't translate in the amp, then you should be fine.

BTW, this is a good sounding tele. Nice demo and playing too, as always. I'm impressed with the neck tone which is usually a weak spot for teles. One thing I'd like are some contours. I've been playing strat for forty years and I just can't live without those contours. I need good ergonomics. Otherwise, good guitar.

Fender messed up this series of telecaster guitars. Those Tim Shaw pickups sound nothing like a Telecaster. No way in hell would I pay $1700 for this guitar that looks like a Telecaster yet doesn't sound like a one. For a few hundred more I bought the vintage II 51 Telecaster and it sounds like a Telecaster should and has all the right appointments. The Vintera Series sounds a lot better than this Professional II series.

I disagree. I think it sounds great. The Performer sounds “vintage” if that’s your thing. There’s no right answer.
