Blending over seven decades of evolution, inspiration, and innovation, the American Professional HotShot Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde with a maple fingerboard is meticulously crafted to satisfy the rigorous requirements of modern working musicians. This instrument provides an immediately familiar feel combined with remarkable sonic versatility that you can perceive the moment you play it, representing a new benchmark for professional gear through its wide-ranging enhancements. Your hand will appreciate the popular Deep "C" neck profile, which features a "Super-Natural" satin finish, smooth rolled fingerboard edges, and a newly sculpted heel designed for effortless access to the upper register and supreme comfort. 

The sonic profile is driven by updated V-Mod III Telecaster single-coil pickups, which retain the signature snarl, snap, and twang of the classic Tele while offering improved articulation. The HotShot goes even further by integrating a specially positioned V-Mod III Stratocaster single-coil in the middle, which works in tandem with 5-way switching to provide an entirely new dimension of Fender sound. You can traverse everything from classic Tele bite to glassy, Strat-inspired middle and in-between tones all within this single instrument. Finally, you can count on consistent, smooth operation from the ClassicGear Precision Potentiometers, which offer a musical taper, custom torque, and precise resistance for reliable, effortless performance.
