Meet the sonic chameleon of the U.S.-made Fender familythe American Professional Classic HotShot Telecaster. It’s engineered for the player who demands the best of both worlds, blending the iconic Telecaster bite with the bell-like clarity of a Stratocaster. You get legendary tone, premium feel, and rock-solid reliability, all packaged in a vintage-inspired design with truly modern playability. Experience this stage-ready, professional instrument with stunning finishes and exceptional versatility.
The HotShot Telecaster starts with a resonant alder body boasting custom-faded vintage and signature Fender finishes. But its true versatility comes from the innovative pickup pairing: a Coastline ’63 Telecaster pickup in the bridge position delivers the famous bright “twang” and punch, while a Coastline ’57 Stratocaster pickup in the neck offers warm, open, and articulate single-coil depth. This unique combination gives you the versatility to cover nearly any genre, from country and blues to rock and pop.
Tonal shaping is precise with the innovative Greasebucket Tone System, which lets you roll off the high-end without the typical muddying effect, preserving clarity in both clean and overdriven settings.
Playability is paramount with the sleek Modern “C” neck profile, featuring a 9.5″-radius fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets for an exceptionally comfortable and fast playing experience. Premium hardware, including Fender Staggered ClassicGear tuners, provides classic aesthetics while ensuring precise, rock-solid tuning stability for any studio session or stage performance.
The American Professional Classic HotShot Telecaster is all the soul of a golden-era Fender, evolved and optimized for today’s creative player. It comes complete with an included gigbag.
