Description
Commemorating the Telecaster's 75th Anniversary, the Fender® American Ultra II Telecaster® represents the culmination of three-quarters of a century of innovation, expertise and relentless pursuit of perfection. This milestone instrument features a select alder body with sculpted body contours, finished in a stunning Liquid Gold - a lustrous, deep metallic finish that captures and reflects light with mesmerizing depth and richness. This premium finish combines golden warmth with sophisticated elegance, creating a guitar that's as visually striking on stage as it is sonically powerful.
For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features Fender's Modern "D" profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Ebony 10"-14" compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, custom lap steel inlays, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register. Under the hood, a 75th Anniversary Noiseless Single-Coil in the neck position pairs with a 75th Anniversary Fastlane™ bridge humbucker to deliver sweet crystalline cleans, snappy Tele® twang and beefy growl, all without a hint of hum. Dual patented S-1™ switches unlock unprecedented tonal versatility - one puts the pickups in series for even more sonic options, while the second cleverly engages series/parellel mode for the humbucker. Additional road-ready features include 6-saddle string-through-body bridge with chromed brass saddles, Deluxe locking tuners, knurled aluminum knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
The American Ultra II Telecaster infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to stratospheric new heights. For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility.
