A "60s Custom" Telecaster at the pinnacle of the American Ultra Luxe range
From the Fender American Ultra Luxe series, this "Vintage '60s" version blends Fender's aesthetic heritage with a decidedly contemporary approach. The alder body features sculpted contours and a Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish, offering a look inspired by the classics with a distinctive feel and resonance.
Who is it for? Stage, studio, and demanding guitarists
This Telecaster is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a high-end electric guitar that is precise and reliable. Perfect for blues, rock, country, pop, and funk, it also excels when switching from sharp clean tones to gritty crunch, while maintaining the typical Telecaster attack and definition.
The sound
The alder body provides a very "Fender" balance: firm lows, present mids, and open highs, with great clarity in chords. The pair of Pure Vintage '63 Single-Coil Tele pickups delivers the snap of the bridge pickup, ideal for cutting rhythms and country licks, while the neck pickup offers a rounder, singing tone for phrasing and nuances. The S-1 switch adds real versatility by activating a series wiring mode to increase thickness and power, handy for beefing up your sound without changing guitars. The string-through-body bridge and 6 saddles promote precise intonation, clear attack, and controlled sustain.
Recommended compatible accessories
This guitar comes with a Deluxe hardshell case. It is factory-strung with Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings, gauge .009-.042, an ideal choice to retain the feel and balance intended by Fender (same gauge recommended when replacing).
