Description
For fans of that classic Tele twang who demand the best in performance, this Fender American Ultra Luxe Telecaster is a top-notch guitar that combines vintage tones with modern features. With its killer pickups, advanced hardware, and elegant aesthetics, this axe is a stunning new addition to the Telecaster lineage.
This American Ultra Luxe Tele sports the classic single cutaway body design we've all come to know and love, allowing you to access all 22 frets with ease. Precision-cut from a solid slab of ash, the body on this guitar produces a surprisingly bright and resonant tone when unplugged. Just like the body, the neck on this Tele was meticulously crafted to offer peak tone and playability. Featuring an all-new augmented 'D' shape neck profile, this neck feels sturdy and substantial, yet it never interferes with your playing, making it an absolute joy to riff on. It's also been shaped with a perfectly sculpted heel, giving you easy access to the entire fingerboard. And, to ensure that this guitar plays like a dream, it's been treated with a super-slick Ultra Satin finish and rolled fingerboard edges.
Powering this guitar is a pair of Fender's Ultra Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coil pickups. These pickups pump out a delightful punch and twang in typical Tele fashion, but thanks to Fender's renowned noiseless circuitry, they're completely silent no matter how you run them. Whether you love old-school tube amps, high-gain stacks, or anything in between, this Tele will offer outstanding vintage-inspired tones, but without all of that annoying single coil hum. Plus, if you're looking for a little extra sonic versatility, this Tele has been equipped with an S-1 switch, allowing you to put the pickups in series for an aggressive humbucking tone.
Complete with sealed locking tuners, a 6-saddle bridge with chromed brass saddles, and a Tusq nut, this Telecaster is a seriously powerful instrument - and it looks amazing in its transparent surf green finish.
