The American Professional HotShot Telecaster draws from more than seventy years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player. It's a Tele through and through — alder body, 25.5" scale, that unmistakable snap — with a set of refinements you'll feel in the first few bars.

The popular Deep "C" neck sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy upper-register access. New V-Mod III Telecaster single-coils deliver the twang, snap and snarl that made the Tele famous, now more articulate than ever.

But the HotShot goes further. A specially placed V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil in the middle position pairs with 5-way switching to unlock a whole new dimension of Fender tone — classic Tele bite, glassy Strat-inspired middle and the in-between voices, all from one guitar. ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers add smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper.

Round it out with a new top-load/string-through bridge with ClassicGear compensated brass Bullet saddles, a bone nut, 22 narrow-tall frets and a 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate with Micro-Tilt adjustment. It's instant familiarity plus real versatility, and it ships in a Deluxe Molded hardshell case.

Two Guitars In One

The added V-Mod III Strat single-coil in the middle position and 5-way switching give you classic Tele twang, glassy Strat-inspired middle tones and the in-between voices from a single instrument. That's a lot of ground covered on a gig without a guitar change.

Comfort All Night

The Deep "C" neck with rolled fingerboard edges and a "Super-Natural" satin finish feels broken-in from the first note, while the newly sculpted heel opens up easy access to the upper register.

Control You Can Trust

ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers bring custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper, so volume and tone sweeps stay smooth and predictable set after set.

V-Mod III Tele Pickups

Bridge and neck V-Mod III single-coils deliver the twang, snap and snarl the Telecaster is known for, with more articulation than ever.

Middle Strat Single-Coil

A specially placed V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil sits in the middle position for Strat-inspired clarity and quack.

5-Position Blade Switching

Five positions cover bridge, bridge+middle, middle, middle+neck and neck for a full range of Fender voices.

Deep "C" Maple Neck

A maple neck in the popular Deep "C" shape with rolled fingerboard edges and a sculpted heel for comfort and upper-fret access.

Rosewood 9.5" Fingerboard

Rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius, white dot inlays and 22 narrow-tall frets that make bends effortless.

Bone Nut

A 1.685"-wide bone nut supports clear, consistent tone and tuning stability.
