Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Telecaster
The Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Telecaster showcases the very best of Fender's modern innovation, blending classic Telecaster character with premium materials, cutting-edge craftsmanship and exceptional performance.
Built around a select roasted ash body, this striking Telecaster delivers outstanding resonance, sustain and clarity while maintaining a lightweight and comfortable feel. Sculpted body contours and a tapered neck heel enhance player comfort and provide effortless access to the upper frets, making this one of the most refined Telecasters Fender has ever produced.
The roasted quartersawn maple neck features Fender's Modern "D" profile and a silky Ultra Satin finish for a smooth, fast playing experience. Designed for versatility, the 10"-14" compound radius quartersawn maple fingerboard combines comfortable chord work in the lower register with effortless bends higher up the neck. Ultra rolled fingerboard edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and a Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut further enhance playability and precision.
Loaded with a pair of Custom Shop Twisted Tele® pickups, the American Ultra II Telecaster delivers everything from sparkling clean tones and classic Tele twang to rich midrange punch and powerful overdriven sounds. Fender's patented S-1™ switching system unlocks a series wiring option, providing increased output and expanded tonal flexibility for players who need a wide range of sounds from a single instrument.
Premium hardware ensures rock-solid reliability, including a six-saddle string-through-body bridge with chromed brass saddles for exceptional intonation and sustain, deluxe locking machine heads for outstanding tuning stability, knurled aluminium control knobs and a distinctive anodised aluminium pickguard that completes the guitar's sophisticated appearance.
Combining iconic Telecaster style with Fender's most advanced design features, the Limited Edition American Ultra II Telecaster is built for players seeking uncompromising tone, comfort and performance at the highest level.
