Tele Snap Meets Strat Sparkle—In One American-Made Hotshot
If you’ve ever wished your Tele could cover Strat duties without losing that unmistakable bite, this American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster is exactly that guitar. All the vintage charm, modern stability, and a pickup layout that turns one workhorse into your main axe for every gig.
Coastline Pickups—Tele Bite, Strat Glass
Under the hood you’ve got a killer trio: Coastline ’63 Tele pickups in the neck and bridge with a Coastline ’57 Strat RWRP in the middle. That means classic Tele snap on the ends, with that scooped, quacky Strat thing sitting right in the middle.
The 5-way switch unlocks it all—bridge for punch and cut, neck for warm, vocal leads, and those 2 & 4 positions for glassy chime that love compression, delays, and worship boards. The RWRP middle keeps things quieter in the in-between spots, so you get sparkle without a wall of hum.
Modern “C” Maple Neck—Fast, Familiar, Effortless
The Modern “C” maple neck is that sweet-spot Fender carve—substantial enough to dig into, slim enough that nothing fights you up the neck. Satin urethane on the back means no sticky gloss, just a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the case.
A 9.5″ maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets gives you easy bending and clean chords all the way up the board. Intonation holds solid, and the fretwork lets you run low action without choking out your bends.
Alder Body & Faded Lake Placid Blue Finish
The classic alder Tele body keeps things balanced—tight lows, focused mids, and highs that cut without ever getting brittle. It rings acoustically before you even plug in, which is always a good sign.
The Faded Lake Placid Blue gloss urethane finish is pure Fender eye candy—vintage vibe with a modern shine that’ll pop under stage lights. It looks like a well-loved classic, but plays like a brand-new, tour-ready instrument.
Stage-Ready Hardware That Stays Out of Your Way
A 3-saddle vintage-style Tele bridge with slotted brass barrels brings that traditional Tele snap and sustain, while the string-through-body design keeps things tight and responsive under your right hand. It feels familiar if you’ve lived on Teles, just with a bigger tonal palette on tap.
Fender ClassicGear staggered tuners lock in tuning stability and help with break angle over the nut—less string tree friction, more solid tuning. Nickel/chrome hardware, knurled flat-top knobs, tortoise guard… it’s classic Fender with just enough flair to stand out.
