Fender American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster
The Fender American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster combines the vintage twang of a Tele with the shimmering tones of a Strat — and it just works.
This isn’t your standard two-pickup Telecaster. With a Coastline '57 Strat pickup in the middle position alongside the classic Tele bridge and neck pickups, it delivers a versatile range of tones traditional Telecasters can't match. From sparkling cleans to smooth leads, the Hotshot offers authentic Fender sound paired with modern playability that feels instantly familiar.
Power-Packed Pickups
The heart of any great Tele is its pickups, and the Hotshot doesn't mess around. Coastline '63 Telecaster and '57 Stratocaster pickups bring that classic Fender sparkle and snap, with enough warmth to keep things musical when you dig in. These pickups deliver depth, articulation, and just the right amount of attitude.
Coastline '63 Telecaster Pickup: Vintage-inspired bridge tone with clarity and bite that cuts through without being harsh.
Coastline '57 Stratocaster Pickup: Smooth, rounded neck tones with the glassy shimmer Fender built its reputation on.
Greasebucket Tone System: Roll off the highs without losing punch or presence — your tone stays full at every setting.
Designed for the Players
The Modern "C" neck profile feels like home from the first chord, with a 9.5"-radius fingerboard that's flat enough for bends and curved enough for chords. Medium Jumbo frets provide enough grip for control without feeling oversized or unwieldy. And those Staggered ClassicGear tuners? They look the part and keep you locked in, no matter how hard you attack the strings.
Modern "C" Neck Profile: Comfortable, familiar feel that supports hours of playing without fatigue.
9.5"-Radius Maple Fingerboard with Medium Jumbo Frets: Fast action, smooth bends, and excellent intonation across the board.
Staggered ClassicGear Tuners: Vintage aesthetics meet rock-solid tuning stability — no more mid-set tweaks.
Stage-Ready Style
The Hotshot Telecaster looks just as stunning on your wall as it does under stage lights. Its alder body features a gloss urethane finish that highlights custom-faded vintage colors with classic Fender style. Vintage-style hardware adds a touch of elegance, while the included gig bag ensures you're ready to go from rehearsal to gig without worrying about your guitar. Designed to be played, not displayed, this is an instrument built for action.
Alder Body with Gloss Urethane Finish: A durable, resonant tonewood with a road-ready finish that gleams.
Vintage-Style Hardware: Timeless design that delivers reliable performance every single night.
Included Gig Bag: Portable protection to take your Telecaster anywhere you go.
