- Hello, my name is Marlon Williams,
and I'm here to check out the new
Fender American Professional Tele.
Some of the key features of it,
I'm pretty excited about it,
so let's check it out.
(electric guitar solo)
And one of the first things I noticed about this Tele
are the new V-Mod Pickups.
They have that vintage Tele sound
that we all know and love,
and that'll pretty much get you through any gig,
whether you're in the club, studio,
live, they allow you to play different styles of music.
Let's try the bridge pickup.

Mid pickup, funk stuff,
that kind of thing, you know,
to get you through it.

And the jazzier stuff,
with the neck pickup.

One of the other features of this guitar
is the "Deep C" neck.
I'm pretty excited about it.
It's a combination of the C and the U.
So the neck is thin at the head start,
and it gets meatier towards the body,
so you can really dig in if you're doing rock,
or you're soloing,
or whatever you're gonna do.
So in combination with this "Deep C" neck,
we have the narrow-tall frets.
First time I've seen that too.
But they're really, really cool,
they get you around a guitar really easy,
it's a really solid feel,
the bends are crazy on this thing,
you really gotta check it out.
I mean, specially when you're down deep in here,
it's real smooth, your intonation stays,
you know, you can really get in there
and really do your thing.
So another thing I'm really excited about
is this new Treble Bleed Circuit.
This thing can change the game for you.
If you're onstage or studio or whatever it is,
mainly on stage, and you have pedals
and you have gain going,
you can turn this down and you can still keep
your high end, so you can still cut through,
even at low volumes.
It's just really cool, I mean,
it's powerful, it's great.
So I'll go through something and show you
what I'm talking about.

So one of the coolest things about this guitar
is the bridge situation.
Now, this is what I'm talking about,
as far as them making little changes
to make a big difference in the guitar.
This bridge is a normal, ashtray bridge,
but they've cut it down a little here,
so you can get in with your palm,
and, you know, start bleeding and all that stuff,
and then if you're bashing on stage or whatever,
or you're doing funk stuff and wanna get in there.
It's real comfortable,
and it doesn't send you to the hospital.
This bridge also has these brass barrel saddles in it,
and it's great for intonation because to compensate it,
again, the little things that make a big difference
on this guitar.
