General
The Telecaster is one of the most recognisable and well-loved guitars out there and has held an iconic position for decades. With the American Ultra Series Tele, Fender have fitted this already perfect guitar with as-fresh-as-they-come upgrades for an even better playing experience. This solid body already comes with a timeless shape and this model has been blessed with an improved D-profile neck for a fast, agile feel and the comfort offered by a more rounded format. The enhanced fretboard radius starts at 10-inches rising to 14, making lead licks and extreme bends effortless and lending a tight grip to swift changes during rhythm parts. The rounder body contours, rounded neck heel and pocket cut-out ensure that nothing gets in the way of your playing.
American Ultra Telecaster: Classic Single-Coil Sound that never Grumbles.
Every member of the American Ultra Series has been mounted with the very latest generation of Noiseless pickups and as such, this Tele is loaded with two Ultra Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coils. As the name suggests, you're getting classic Telecaster sound with a clear signal and none of the annoying buzz and grumble associated with older models. At a glance, it looks like nothing about the controls has changed until you pop the S1 switch on the volume pot, flip the 3-way switch to the middle position and place both pickups in series, giving you an extra and unexpected humbucker sound.
Deliciously Laid-Back Playability
To maintain its classic look, any upgrade that this American Ultra Tele has been graced with have been executed with subtlety. The satin-gloss finished neck keeps playing supple even in the heat of battle and will never leave your fret-hand stuck, while your other hand rests comfortably against the bridge with no irritation from raised edges, since each of the six block saddles have been rounded off. When it comes to replacing the strings on this Telecaster, you get to experience the ease of its Deluxe Locking Tuners. Simply wind each string into the mechanics using the satisfying dials without any unnecessary and awkward winding, stretch our your fresh strings, and enjoy impeccably solid tuning stability. This Ultra comfortable, Ultra playable and Ultra dependable Telecaster comes complete with its own Elite quality case.
