Fender American Professional Classic Telecaster SSS MN Faded Lake Placid Blue

A Telecaster inspired by Fender's "golden age," designed for today's musicians

This American Professional Classic Hotshot Telecaster combines the charm of vintage references with playability tailored for stage and studio. Its classic aesthetic, "old school" finishes, and nickel/chrome hardware evoke the golden era of the Telecaster, while its modern ergonomics and versatile electronics make it a professional-level guitar, ready to withstand rehearsals, concerts, and studio sessions.

Who is it for, and for which styles?

Thanks to its comfortable neck and intuitive electronics, this guitar is suitable for both intermediate guitarists and advanced musicians seeking a responsive and expressive solid-body. It excels in rock, pop, blues, country, and funk: sharp attacks, crisp chords, and excellent definition in both clean and crunch tones.

Tone

The alder body provides a very versatile balance: clear lows, present mids, and precise highs, perfect for maintaining clarity in a band setting. The Coastline '63 Single-Coil Telecaster pickups (neck and bridge) deliver the typical brightness, twang, and punch, with a touch-sensitive dynamic response. The Coastline '57 Single-Coil Stratocaster RWRP middle pickup opens the door to more scooped and snappy intermediate positions, ideal for funky rhythms or bright cleans. All are controlled by a master volume, a master tone, and a 5-position selector to instantly switch from Tele bite to more "glassy" textures.

Recommended compatible accessories

This guitar comes with a Deluxe gig bag and is strung with Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042). To maintain the same feel and tension, a set of 009-042 strings is recommended when replacing.
