Fender American Ultra II Telecaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Sinister Red
Outfitted to take on the most daring musical endeavors, the Fender American Ultra II Telecaster is a bold new echelon for the classic electric guitar. Joining Fender’s most elite series of instruments yet, the American Ultra II Telecaster aims high for the most boundary-pushing musical ideas.
The Fender American Ultra II Telecaster starts out with distinct basis. Starting out with the classic single-cutaway form made from select alder, this specially-selected cut of alder features the American Ultra II’s new Ultra sculpted body contours to enhance the guitar’s feeling in the hands and under the arm. Additionally, this model’s sculpted neck heel goes further in the comfort department to allow easier access to the highest registers possible.
Moving from there, this American Ultra II piece welcomes a quartersawn maple neck decked in a silky, smooth Ultra Satin finish. In the palm of the playing hand, this neck is effortlessly played. This seamless touch is compounded and enhanced by a Modern D-shaped neck profile that meets hand positions across its full length. Totally, this neck plays with speed and comfort for the most discerning of players.
Playability and comfort are also prime priorities for this American Ultra II’s fingerboard. Filling out to the board, this neck’s quartersawn maple comes together with a compound fingerboard radius measuring 10″-14″. A totally exciting addition to this whole instrument, this compound radius adjusts its measurement from one end of the neck to the other.
Near the headstock, this American Ultra’s 10″ radius feels already faster than the average Fender radius. This experience flattens further near the body with its 14″ measurement. Facilitating more accurate string bends and soloing, this fingerboard is innovative and an exciting attraction for fans of higher-octane forms of playing. Ultra Rolled edges smooth this board and neck more deeply to optimize comfort while Luminlay side dots highlight the board for a bright set of fret markers.
Onboard this Telecaster, Fender built in two Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coil pickups. These single coils pack a formidable punch with a crisp, high-fidelity sound reminiscent of classic Telecaster sounds – all without hum. Fender’s patented S-1 switching system engages this guitar’s series wiring option to opt in to even more tonal variety and direction. Classic Tele crystal-clear cleans and charming twangs come readymade on this model to get inspired on new musical angles.
The American Ultra II series models all feature quality hardware setups to keep the experience rolling. This Tele’s setup comes equipped with a six-saddle string-through-body bridge with chromed brass saddles. Making for a classic Tele stringing experience with stability and precision, this bridge is sturdy and stable. Across its headstock, this guitar touts six Fender Deluxe locking tuning machines that ground strings with definition to ensure the most elite of experiences. Knurled aluminum knobs and a one-ply anodized aluminum pickguard tie everything together to a satisfying conclusion.
For players seeking the absolute cutting-edge of Fender design, the American Ultra II series punches that exact ticket. Come on board on experience Fender’s most advanced and high-end instruments yet and hear the future take shape today.
