Vintage Soul, Modern Firepower
Meet the Fender American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster—a guitar that perfectly marries golden-era vibe with the demands of today’s player. Finished in a stunning Faded Sherwood Green Metallic, this Tele doesn’t just look the part; it’s a tonal chameleon. Fender took the iconic Telecaster platform and supercharged it with a trio of vintage-voiced pickups, giving you that classic Tele spank and a whole lot more.
Three Pickups, Endless Tones
The magic of the Hotshot is its unique SSS configuration. It’s loaded with two Coastline ’63 Single-Coil Tele pickups in the neck and bridge, delivering all the warmth, punch, and sparkle you expect. But the real surprise is the Coastline ’57 Single-Coil Strat pickup nestled in the middle. This RWRP (reverse-wound, reverse-polarity) pickup, combined with the 5-way blade switch, unlocks those glassy, funky in-between sounds—think Strat-style quack—without losing an ounce of that essential Telecaster character.
Effortless Playability
Fender knows how a guitar should feel, and this one is pure comfort. The Modern “C” maple neck is a player-favorite for a reason—it’s substantial enough for chording but sleek enough for fast runs. Paired with a 9.5″ radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets, you get a buttery-smooth playing surface that makes bends and lead lines feel effortless. The satin urethane finish on the neck means no stickiness, just smooth sailing all night long.
Rock-Solid Vintage Hardware
Every piece of hardware is chosen to enhance tone and stability. The 3-saddle vintage-style bridge with slotted brass barrel saddles is the secret to authentic Tele twang and resonance. Up top, Fender’s ClassicGear™ staggered tuners provide modern tuning precision with a classic look, ensuring you stay in tune no matter how hard you dig in. It’s the perfect blend of old-school cool and modern reliability.
