Is the American Professional II Telecaster worth it over the Player series?

Yes if you want US build, V-Mod II pickups and the contoured heel; the Player series costs much less but uses different pickups and a standard heel.

How does it differ from the American Professional I?

The II adds V-Mod II pickups, a push-push tone knob, a satin neck finish and a sculpted neck heel.

Pushing the tone knob adds a second pickup voice with more output and top end, useful for solos and heavier tones.

Fender lists roughly 2.5 to 5 kg depending on the individual guitar; ask for the actual weight before buying.

The guitar, a deluxe gig bag, a truss rod wrench and a certificate; a hard case is not included.

Fender offers Butterscotch Blonde, 3-Color Sunburst, Black, Dark Night and Mercury, all in gloss urethane over the alder body.
