Step up your tone and style with the Fender American Professional Classic HotShot™ Telecaster SSS in Faded Lake Placid Blue, a guitar that perfectly marries vintage soul with modern innovation. Its alder body provides a balanced, resonant tonal foundation, finished in a stunning faded custom color that’s pure Fender.

The secret to this Tele’s sonic versatility lies in its unique SSS pickup configuration: a pair of vintage-inspired Coastline™ ’63 Telecaster® pickups at the neck and bridge deliver classic twang and warmth, while a ’57 Stratocaster® single-coil in the middle adds bell-like clarity and dynamic sparkle. The result is a guitar that covers everything from blues and country to rock and beyond.

The Modern “C” maple neck ensures all-night comfort and blazing-fast runs, while Fender’s staggered ClassicGear™ tuners keep your tuning rock-solid and your look authentically Fender.

From studio sessions to stage performances, the American Professional Classic HotShot™ Telecaster® delivers all the soulful resonance and legendary style you expect from Fender—evolved for today’s guitarist.
