Built for players boldly seeking the best, American Ultra II is our most advanced series of instruments. American Ultra II guitars and basses feature premium materials, precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design for instruments that both advance the state-of-the-art and stand the test of time.
The Fender® American Ultra II Telecaster® features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Ebony or quartersawn maple 10”-14” compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register.
Under the hood, the Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage Tele® pickups deliver sweet crystalline cleans, snappy twang and beefy growl, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1™ switch cleverly engages a series wiring option for even more tonal variety. 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.
