Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster Electric Guitar Rosewood in Oxblood w/Case - 0111520730

Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster w/Case

American-made Fender design featuring Tele and Strat V-Mod III single-coils, 5-way switching and a compensated Tele bridge, an alder body and refined playability

Combining traditional Fender character with practical upgrades, the Fender American Professional Hot Shot Telecaster matches 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

For smooth position changes and upper-register access, 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.

At the heart of the signal path are 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.

Mechanical details are designed for practical use: 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.

Fender's ClassicGear Precision potentiometers provide smooth adjustment and predictable control response during performance. Fender includes a Deluxe Molded Case to protect the instrument between sessions and gigs.
