Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar Maple in Butterscotch Blonde w/Case - 0111522750

Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar w/Case

Stage-ready American Professional construction with Tele and Strat V-Mod III single-coils, 5-way switching and a compensated Tele bridge, plus an ash body and a maple fretboard

Created to balance familiar Fender feel with modern refinement, the Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster unites 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

Under the fretting hand, 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.

Sound shaping begins with 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.

The bridge and control hardware add another layer of refinement: 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.

The control section uses ClassicGear Precision potentiometers for consistent feel, precise resistance and an even musical taper. A Fender Deluxe Molded Case is included for protected storage and transport.
