Vintage Vibe, Ultra Playability
This isn’t your grandad’s Tele unless your grandad was a certified shredder with a taste for the classics. The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster is a masterclass in blending iconic, old-school cool with the kind of modern performance features that today’s players demand. From the resonant, grainy Ash body wrapped in a stunning Butterscotch Blonde Heirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish to the state-of-the-art electronics, this Tele is built to inspire.
The Neck You’ve Been Dreaming Of
Let’s talk feel. The Modern “D” profile on this Maple neck is pure buttery comfort, designed for hours of effortless playing. Combined with a compound 10″-14″ radius fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets, you get a neck that’s just as happy chording down low as it is bending strings into the stratosphere up high. The satin lacquer finish feels broken-in from the first note, and with Luminlay® side dots, you’ll never lose your place on a dark stage.
Pure Vintage Tone with a Modern Twist
At the heart of this Tele is a pair of Pure Vintage ’51 Single-Coil pickups. They deliver all the snap, twang, and glassy clarity that made the Telecaster a legend. The bridge pickup cuts with authority but without any harshness, while the neck pickup is warm, clear, and incredibly expressive. But the real magic lies in the S-1™ switch on the volume knob. A quick tap activates a series wiring option, instantly giving you a fatter, humbucker-esque tone with a serious midrange punch perfect for kicking in a solo.
Built Like a Tank, Plays Like a Dream
Fender didn’t skimp on the details. From the rock-solid 6-saddle bridge with brass block saddles for added resonance to the deluxe locking tuners for insane tuning stability, every piece of hardware is chosen for performance. The TUSQ™ nut ensures your open strings ring out clear and true, making this a guitar that’s as reliable as it is inspiring.
