Alder Body With Timeless Tone and Feel
Crafted with a classic alder body, the American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster offers the balanced, dynamic sound Fender fans have cherished for decades. Fender's go-to tonewood since 1956, alder ensures a rich, resonant tone with punchy mids and clear highs, perfect for cutting through the mix. Its gloss urethane finish offers a durable layer of protection with a sleek aesthetic, making this Tele a gig-ready workhorse that oozes stage appeal. The iconic Telecaster body shape remains an ergonomic favorite, ensuring playing comfort—whether you're gigging all night or laying down tracks in the studio.
Modern C Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Smooth Playability
Designed for comfort and performance, the maple neck features a satin urethane finish that offers a fast, broken-in feel right out of the case. The comfortable C-shaped profile strikes a balance between modern playability and a slightly thicker, more vintage-inspired grip. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets, this neck delivers smooth playability and effortless bends. White dot inlays keep the aesthetic clean and classic, while the 25.5" scale length provides that signature Fender snap and clarity.
Three Coastline Single-Coil Pickups for Enhanced Versatility
This Nashville-style Telecaster is equipped with a trio of Coastline single-coil pickups that expand its tonal flexibility far beyond traditional designs. The Coastline '63 Telecaster pickups in the bridge and neck positions deliver the crisp snap and midrange bite that define classic Tele tone, while the Coastline '57 Strat pickup in the middle position adds smooth warmth and extra sparkle. The five-way selector switch provides access to a wide range of tones—from cutting leads to rich, blended textures and glassy cleans. Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit allows you to roll off treble without adding unwanted bass, preserving clarity across every setting for precise tonal control.
Vintage Bridge and Modern Hardware Upgrades
The American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster pairs classic styling with performance-driven upgrades. A three-saddle vintage-style bridge with brass barrel saddles delivers that beloved Tele spank while ensuring accurate intonation and solid tuning stability. Nickel/chrome hardware complements the aesthetic with a sleek, durable finish, while Fender ClassicGear tuners provide smooth, precise tuning adjustments. Finished in sleek gloss urethane, it's a guitar that honors tradition while delivering the reliability modern players need.
