Fender American Professional Classic
HotShot Telecaster Electric Guitar

All the soul of a golden-era Fender, evolved for today's player

The Fender American Professional Classic HotShot™ Telecaster® combines vintage inspiration with cutting-edge versatility, offering a bold reinterpretation of Fender’s most iconic solid-body design. Crafted in the USA, this professional-grade Tele delivers classic Fender tone and feel, reimagined with refined electronics, sleek playability, and unmistakable retro appeal. Whether on stage or in the studio, the HotShot™ Telecaster® stands as a tribute to timeless design and modern precision.

Under the hood, a combination of Coastline™ '63 Telecaster® and '57 Stratocaster® pickups provides an exceptional tonal range — from snappy twang to bell-like clarity — while the Greasebucket™ tone circuit maintains articulation even when rolling off highs. The Modern “C” neck with a satin urethane finish offers a comfortable and familiar grip, paired with a 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets for effortless bending and expressive control. Vintage-style hardware, including a 3-saddle Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles and ClassicGear™ staggered tuners, enhances tuning stability and sustain while preserving authentic Fender style. With its custom-faded finish and distinct pickup combination, the HotShot™ Telecaster® captures the spirit of a classic with the flexibility of a modern performer.
