The American Professional Classic HotShot Telecaster is the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance.
Its alder body delivers a balanced, lively tone with resonance, punch, clarity, beefy mids and a robust low end. Vintage-inspired Coastline '63 Telecaster and Coastline '57 Stratocaster pickups, based on Fender’s Pure Vintage designs and slightly overwound, provide depth, warmth, chime, punch and sparkle.
The sleek Modern "C"-shaped neck has a smooth, ergonomic profile for exceptional comfort and playability. A 9.5"-radius fingerboard with Medium Jumbo frets supports fast fretting and easy playability.
Vintage-style hardware includes a vintage-style bridge with three brass saddles for classic Tele twang and character. Fender Staggered ClassicGear tuners combine traditional Fender aesthetics with precise tuning stability. The Greasebucket Tone System tames treble frequencies without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass, preserving clarity and definition as the tone is rolled back.
Available in signature Fender colors and custom-faded classic finishes that recreate the well-loved patina of vintage guitars, this professional-grade instrument looks as good as it sounds. The American Professional Classic HotShot Telecaster is ready for the studio and stage, and includes a gigbag.
