PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

As proud dealers for Fender, we love it when the brand who started it all improve upon their own designs for the contemporary player. We're stoked to bring you this awesome Fender American Ultra Telecaster!

The "Cobra Blue" finish on this one is absolutely stunning and is one of the best blue metallic finishes Fender has done in its history. It's similar to Lake Placid Blue, but is even more vivid with a little more "sapphire" in its makeup and has a brilliant luster to it that's simply pleasing to look at, almost like a gemstone.

As a spiritual successor to the "American Deluxe" series of old, the Ultra Telecaster has a compound-radius fretboard, which makes high-register playing almost as comfortable as on a shredder-style guitar - an ease of playability that's a sweet contrast from the vintage Tele vibe and tone. This neck profile is just so comfortable, making this an easy choice for a long jam session or gig. 

The Ultra Tele also have a rear belly cut and a contoured neck heel for improved ergonomics and upper fret access, another element that makes this guitar an absolute breeze to play and even just hold in your hands. Other awesome improvements that really make life easy include 6 individual chrome-coated brass saddles and super stable locking tuners.

The noiseless pickups sound amazing and are really versatile with the extra switches and knobs - they give you classic Tele tone without the annoying single-coil hum. This maybe isn't the most vintage-accurate thing in the world, but let's face it - you'll be a lot more grateful for this on the gig when you're arguing with your sound guy, plus they still sound incredible. Push the S-1 switch on the volume knob to activate both pickups in series for a humbucker-like boost that can really bring the house down.

If you want a true American-made Fender Telecaster with timeless looks that also innovates and takes an already-great platform to the next level, check out this American Ultra!
