Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar Rosewood in Dark Night w/Case - 0111520761

Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar w/Case

Professional Fender performance with an alder body, a rosewood fretboard and Tele and Strat V-Mod III single-coils, 5-way switching and a compensated Tele bridge

Designed for demanding stage and studio work, the Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster sets 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

The neck package starts with 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.

Its electronic layout delivers 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.

Setup flexibility comes from 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 support dependable, musical adjustment across the instrument's control range. The instrument ships with an included Fender Deluxe Molded Case.
