Fender American Professional II HotShot Telecaster
The Fender American Professional HotShot Telecaster takes the iconic Tele design to new heights, combining classic Fender character with expanded tonal versatility for the modern guitarist. Built in the USA and designed for demanding performers, this innovative instrument delivers the unmistakable punch, twang and clarity that have defined the Telecaster for generations.
At the heart of the HotShot is a comfortable Deep "C" maple neck featuring rolled fingerboard edges, a smooth satin finish and a sculpted neck heel, providing effortless playability across the entire fretboard. Whether you're laying down rhythm parts or exploring higher-register lead work, the neck feels fast, natural and inviting.
Equipped with Fender's latest V-Mod III Telecaster single-coil pickups, the HotShot produces enhanced articulation, dynamic response and classic Tele bite. What sets this model apart is the addition of a specially positioned V-Mod III Stratocaster-style middle pickup, paired with a versatile 5-way selector switch. This unique configuration unlocks a wider range of tones, from traditional Tele twang and punch to sparkling Strat-inspired sounds and expressive in-between pickup combinations.
Premium ClassicGear Precision potentiometers ensure smooth, accurate control over volume and tone, offering consistent performance and musical response in any playing situation.
Designed for players who need maximum flexibility without sacrificing classic Fender feel, the American Professional HotShot Telecaster delivers exceptional comfort, expanded tonal options and professional-grade performance in one outstanding instrument.
