Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster RW, Faded Dakota Red Overview

The Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster RW in Faded Dakota Red brings classic snap and modern refinement together in a no-nonsense workhorse. An alder body with a gloss urethane finish keeps things lively and resonant, while a pair of Coastline '63 single-coil Telecaster pickups deliver that unmistakable twang, bite, and sustain. The Modern "C" maple neck with a 9.5" rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets plays fast and stays comfortable, with a satin feel that stays slick under stage lights


Hardware is dialled for tone and stability. A vintage-style 3-saddle string-through Tele bridge with slotted brass barrels serves up the firm attack and rich overtones players love, while ClassicGear staggered tuners keep tuning tight and the headstock tidy. The Greasebucket tone circuit lets you trim highs without adding mud, so rhythm parts stay defined and leads keep their edge as you shape the top end. It's an old-school Tele that looks the business, feels immediately familiar, and comes with modern playability built in. It slots into any session or set with ease

Classic Tele voice

Coastline '63 single-coils serve up the unmistakable and timeless tones that made this design a studio staple. The bridge pickup has that wiry cut for tight rhythm chops and spiky leads, while the neck stays warm and open for soulful lines and mellow lead. Together they deliver the articulate, mix-friendly tone players chase, reacting beautifully to right-hand dynamics and the amp's edge of breakup for touch-sensitive expression

Player-first neck feel

The Modern "C" maple neck lands in the sweet spot between sleek and supportive, so long sets feel effortless. A rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps bends smooth, chords tidy and intonation solid up the board. The satin urethane finish stays fast and comfortable throughout the session, and the 42.8 mm synthetic bone nut helps spacing and tuning stay consistent when you dig in

Vintage hardware with modern stability

A 3-saddle, strings-through-body bridge with slotted brass barrels gives you that percussive attack and rich overtones, with plenty of sustain for ringing open chords and singing leads. ClassicGear staggered tuners increase string break angle for improved tuning stability and a tidy headstock feel, while the nickel/chrome fittings are built to tour. It's the familiar Tele recipe, refined for life on stage and in the van

Smart tone shaping

The Greasebucket tone system lets you roll off highs without adding mud, so rhythm parts stay defined and leads keep their edge as you tame brightness. An alder body with a gloss urethane finish keeps things lively and resonant, rewarding nuanced picking and dynamic control. From clean country snap to crunchy indie grit, this Tele delivers reliable, repeatable results every night
