American Ultra II: The Modern Vanguard of the Telecaster
At the top of the Fender range, the American Ultra II series pushes the Telecaster towards greater ergonomics, accuracy, and noiseless performance. This "Solar Flare" version pairs selected alder with cutting-edge electronics while retaining the Tele DNA. The result: a professional guitar ready for stage, studio, and demanding sessions.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a responsive and silent Tele. Perfect for pop, funk, country, rock, and fusion, it covers crisp clean tones, precise rhythms, and defined overdrives with remarkable note sustain.
Sound
The Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups preserve the vintage sparkle and "twang" without hum. The bridge pickup offers attack and brightness, while the neck pickup provides warmth and definition. The S-1 switch activates series wiring in any position for a thicker, compressed tone. The alder body ensures tonal balance, the ebony fingerboard enhances attack precision, while the string-through-body bridge with brass saddles boosts attack, sustain, and tuning stability.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
