PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE
The Fender Ultra series is already the best of the best that Fender has to offer in terms of classic designs improved with modern innovation. Now they've taken it one step further - you'll truly be living in guitar luxury with this gorgeous Ultra Luxe Telecaster in a classic 1950s-style 2-Color Sunburst! Everything about this Tele looks and feels premium, from the premium ash body with beautiful grain to the slick painted headstock.
This Ultra Luxe features a ridiculously comfortable, satin-finished "Augmented" D profile, offering a modern yet easygoing experience that's lightning-fast. This guitar is an easy choice for a long jam session or gig. It also features a compound-radius fretboard, which makes high-register playing and bends almost as comfortable as on a shredder-style guitar while keeping chord-strumming natural - an ease of playability that's a sweet contrast from the vintage vibe of the Tele. Lastly, the fingerboard is equipped with stainless steel frets, which is a highly-desired feature that contemporary players love for their low maintenance and smooth feel.
The Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups sound amazing and are super versatile. They give you classic Tele tone without the annoying single-coil hum, which comes in handy when you want to play higher-gain styles or on a noisy stage or studio with subpar lighting or power filtering. Push the S-1 switch on the volume knob to put the pickups in series, resulting in a thick, powerful humbucker-like tone that soars with output.
If you want a top-tier Fender Tele that stands out from the rest both visually and feature-wise, give the Ultra Luxe a spin!
