Meet the Fender American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster — a modern workhorse with vintage soul and endless tonal range. Built to tackle any session, gig, or genre you throw at it, this Tele brings together the best of both worlds: unmistakable Tele twang and Strat-style shimmer.
At its core, an alder body houses a unique pickup trio. A pair of Coastline ’63 Tele single-coils and a middle-position Coastline ’57 Strat pickup — the famous “Nashville” configuration that’s beloved by studio players for its flexibility and color. A 5-way switch unlocks everything from glassy Strat tones to that unmistakable Tele bite, all while keeping your sound crisp and dynamic.
Playability is effortless thanks to the slim Modern “C” neck, satin urethane finish, and 9.5" radius fingerboard with medium-jumbo frets. It’s got all the comfort of a modern Tele, with a nod to its roots through the classic ashtray bridge and trio of brass saddles for that warm, snappy feel. Dressed in a stunning faded lake placid blue finish with timeless Fender styling, the Hotshot Telecaster feels equally at home in the studio or under stage lights.
