Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar Maple in Aged Cherry Burst w/Case - 0111522731

Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster w/Case

A professional Fender platform balancing Tele and Strat V-Mod III single-coils, 5-way switching and a compensated Tele bridge with an ash body and a maple fretboard

Refined for serious players who value familiar feel and precise adjustment, the Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster joins an ash body with a maple neck and maple fretboard. Its 25.5" (648 mm) scale, Deep "C" profile and 22 narrow tall frets support a familiar, controlled feel, while the model-specific electronics and hardware are designed to deliver classic Tele bite plus glassier Strat-inspired middle and in-between voices. The result is a versatile American-made instrument intended for regular rehearsal, recording and live use.

Features

Fender's neck treatment combines a Deep "C" maple neck with rolled fretboard edges and Fender's satin urethane treatment on the back. The sculpted neck heel improves access toward the upper frets, while the 9.5" (241 mm) radius, 22 narrow tall frets and bone nut give the instrument a consistent, performance-minded playing surface.

The electrical package centres on two V-Mod III Tele single-coils plus a V-Mod III Strat single-coil in the middle position. Five-way switching expands the palette from Tele bite to glassier Strat-like in-between sounds, and the push-push control can add the neck pickup.

Hardware is equally performance-focused: a 3-saddle top-load/string-through Tele bridge with ClassicGear compensated brass Bullet saddles, providing flexible stringing options and improved intonation while keeping traditional Tele bridge character.

ClassicGear Precision potentiometers are specified for smooth rotation, consistent resistance and a musical control taper. The package includes Fender's Deluxe Molded Case for dependable protection.
