Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar Rosewood in 3-Color Sunburst w/Case - 0111520700

Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster w/Case

Modern professional playability meets familiar Fender tone through Tele and Strat V-Mod III single-coils, 5-way switching and a compensated Tele bridge, supported by an alder body and a rosewood fretboard

Developed for players who need dependable performance night after night, the Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster pairs an alder body with a maple neck and rosewood 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

A major part of the playing feel is 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 instrument's amplified character comes from 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.

For setup stability and adjustment, 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.
