The Fender American Ultra II Telecaster establishes itself with quality and distinctive base layer. Starting out quickly, this American Ultra II guitar starts with its classic single-cutaway body made from a pick of select alder. This specially-selected cut of alder features the American Ultra II's Ultra sculpted body contours to liven the guitar's feeling under the arm and in hand. Additionally, this model's sculpted neck heel goes further in this department to allow for seamless access to its highest registers.

Carrying on from here, this American Ultra II piece introduces a quartersawn maple neck wrapped in a silky, smooth Ultra Satin finish. In the palm of the playing hand, this neck is effortlessly maneuverable. This soft and easy touch is enhanced by a Modern D-shaped neck profile that fits different hand angles and positioning across its full length. Totally, this neck plays with comfort and speed for the most discerning of players.

Comfort and playability are also primary priorities for this American Ultra II's fingerboard. Appearing alongside the quartersawn maple neck, this Ultra II's ebony fingerboard stacks up 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.

Facilitating more string bends and soloing at breakneck speeds, this fingerboard is a cutting-edge addition and an exciting attraction for fans of higher-octane forms of playing. Ultra Rolled edges smooth this combo of neck and board even more deeply to optimize comfort while Luminlay side dots highlight the board for a bright set of fret markers.

For this Telecaster, Fender included two Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coil pickups. These bright single coils load and impressive kick with a crisp, high-fidelity sound reminiscent of classic Telecaster sounds – all without any hum. Fender's patented S-1 switching system engages this guitar's series wiring option for players to access even more tonal direction and variety. Classic Tele crystal-clear cleans and charming twangs come ready to go on this model to get inspired on new musical angles.
