Meet the sonic chameleon of the U.S.-made Fender family—the 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.
