The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Single-coil Telecaster bite with clarity and direct responsiveness to technique
Bridge pickup, tone at 7 - all the twang without harshness. The setting session pros live on.
The American Professional Telecaster is refined by seven decades of working musician feedback. V-Mod II pickups capture that unmistakable snap with enhanced clarity. Rolled edges and sculpted heel turn a traditionally utilitarian instrument into a genuine pleasure for hours of playing. Delivers every single time.

From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of American Vintage II hardware is manufactured to look, sound and function just like it did on the originals.
