The American Professional Classic HotShot™ Telecaster® reimagines a beloved icon with a unique tonal twist and professional-grade craftsmanship. Built around an alder body and finished in gloss urethane, it features a fast-playing Modern "C"-shaped maple neck and 22-fret maple fingerboard with a 9.5" radius for smooth, articulate playing across styles.
This model blends classic Tele® power with a splash of Strat® shimmer, thanks to its pickup trio: two Coastline™ ’63 Telecaster® pickups in the neck and bridge, and a Coastline™ ’57 Stratocaster® RWRP pickup in the middle. A 5-way blade switch opens up new sound combinations, giving you added tonal versatility without straying from its vintage roots.
Period-accurate hardware includes a 3-saddle vintage-style Tele® bridge with slotted brass saddles, staggered ClassicGear™ tuners, and a 3-ply black pickguard. Whether you're exploring new tones in the studio or lighting up a live stage, the Classic HotShot™ Telecaster® delivers timeless Fender® feel and forward-thinking functionality. A deluxe gig bag is included.
