Serial Number: US25069127 Weight: 7 lbs 6 oz

Harness the Heat of a Nashville Classic

Ready to take on any studio session or stage gig, the American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster merges Tele attitude, Strat-inspired sonics, and easy-playing modern performance. This Tele’s lively alder body packs two Coastline ’63 Telecaster single-coils and a middle-position ’57 Stratocaster pickup — the “Nashville” configuration that’s favored by studio pros around the world for its boundless flexibility. Paired to a 5-way switch, this comprehensive configuration puts both Tele twang and in-between Strat shimmer at your command. Next, a string-through-body “ashtray” bridge with a trio of brass saddles warms up the Tele’s treble response in the 1950s tradition. Meanwhile, Fender's staggered ClassicGear tuners combine retro style with rock-solid stability. And while several of this tremendous Tele’s specs pay tribute to the historic Fenders of yore, the neck’s slim Modern C profile, 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, and medium-jumbo frets supply an unabashedly contemporary feel beneath your fingers. Featuring finishes inspired by the iconic Teles of the ’50s and ’60s, the American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster represents the dictionary definition of a do-it-all 6-string.

Easy-playing Modern C maple neck

Despite their stylish vintage-tinged visuals, Fender’s American Professional Classic instruments are engineered to deliver a thoroughly modern playing experience. This philosophy is abundantly apparent from the moment you grasp the American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster’s maple Modern C neck, as it provides you with a perfect “just right” feel with a slick satin-finished sheen. Topside, this guitar’s fingerboard features a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets — a combo that ensures even the widest upper-position bends ring loud and clear.

Coastline pickups supply studio-ready versatility

Fender’s Coastline pickups start with all the usual suspects of a vintage Fender single-coil — Alnico magnets, cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins, and so on — before bringing the formula into the 21st century with a stronger, higher-output wind. It’s a potent recipe that pairs perfectly with this American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster’s modernized pickup configuration, comprising two Coastline ’63 Tele pickups, a Coastline ’57 model in the middle, and a 5-way switch. From time-honored Tele grit to in-between Strat sonics, this “Nashville” setup runs the gamut of studio-staple Fender tones. What's more, the addition of Fender's Greasebucket circuitry allows you to tweak your tone knob without muddying up your signal.

Vintage-spec hardware

What makes the sound of a Telecaster so singular? The pickups may clock in at the top of that list, yet scores of Tele faithful rank the model’s historic “ashtray” bridge as an equally crucial component. This American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster’s vintage-style, string-through-body bridge fulfills that long-standing tradition with complete vintage-spec accuracy, right down to its trio of uncompensated brass saddles — a spec championed by Tele players since the early 1950s for its ability to tame the Tele’s signature high-end bite.
