The Fender American Professional HotShot Telecaster expands the familiar Telecaster voice for working players who need more tonal range from one instrument. Its ash body, maple neck, maple fingerboard, and Butterscotch Blonde finish preserve a classic visual profile. Two V-Mod III Telecaster single coil pickups handle the neck and bridge positions, while a V-Mod III Stratocaster single coil pickup adds a distinct middle voice.
Expanded Three Pickup Versatility
The SSS pickup layout works with a 5-position blade switch to move from direct bridge bite to blended bridge and middle tones, a focused middle pickup sound, blended middle and neck tones, and the neck pickup alone. A push-push tone control can add the neck pickup, giving the player another useful switching option. This broader palette supports country, rock, blues, studio work, and live performance without changing guitars.
Professional Neck Feel and Control
The Deep C maple neck has rolled fingerboard edges for a smooth hand feel. Its Super Natural satin urethane back finish reduces drag, while the sculpted neck heel improves access to the upper register. The 9.5-inch radius, 22 narrow tall frets, 25.5-inch scale length, and bone nut support familiar Fender playability. ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers provide smooth control with custom torque, precise resistance, and a musical taper.
Flexible Bridge and Included Case
The 3-saddle Tele bridge supports both top load and string-through setups. Compensated brass Bullet saddles help balance classic hardware character with practical adjustment. Fender Standard Cast and Sealed Staggered tuning machines complete the hardware package. A Deluxe Molded hardshell case is included for storage and transport.
