Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster Electric Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde

Representing the meeting of modern innovation and history's greatest musical contributions, we have the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster. The Telecaster, a total icon in any generation, is treated to an unparalleled design upgrade while it juggles the cutting-edge innovations and standby classic pillars the brand is famous for. Lifelong fans of the Telecaster have another model to fawn over – darn, right?

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster lines up with a suite of fine specifications to lay the foundation for an exceptional musical experience. This guitar's premium ash body takes the Telecaster's iconic singlecut shape while being fitted with sleek carved contours. Designed to inspire the absolute best in comfort, these contours work alongside the body's new aged Heirloom lacquer finish. The finish in question, relatively unseen before in Fender models, makes an impact in the American Ultra Luxe Vintage series with just the right amount of age and wear to match the guitar's timeless design.

Continuing on from here, this model features a quartersawn maple neck joins in with a Modern D profile and a satin lacquer finish. This neck, made for speed and comfort, fills the hand comfortably alongside Fender's Ultra rolled fingerboard edges. The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster plays seamlessly with twenty-two stainless steel Medium Jumbo frets and a speedy compound fingerboard radius that ten inches at the nut and flattens to fourteen inches near the body. Playability, a critical element of this Telecaster, is present at every juncture for this American Ultra Luxe Vintage model.

For this particular model, the American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Tele treats us to a new set of electronics. At the heart of this model lay two Fender Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Tele pickups that deliver on all the twang and snap you've come to know from Telecasters. Embodying the timeless Tele tone, an onboard S-1 switch built into the Volume control fixes the guitar into its series wiring mode that expands the sonic palette of this guitar even wider.

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster tops everything off with a number of fine hardware specifications. At one end of the scale, the headstock's TUSQ nut and sealed locking tuning machines line up to ground strings stably. At the opposite end, the guitar's American Tele bridge features brass block saddles for ensuring solid intonation. This American Ultra Luxe Vintage model travels with an included Fender Deluxe hardshell case.

Balancing specifications old and new, the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster is a model expressing the best of what the Tele has to offer.
