A High-End American Telecaster Designed for Stage and Studio
The Fender American Ultra II Telecaster continues the line of modern "performance" Telecasters: the Fender spirit is fully present, but with reworked ergonomics, contemporary playability, and more versatile electronics. With meticulous finishing, premium components, and comfort-oriented design, it clearly targets guitarists who want a reliable, precise Tele ready for anything, without compromise.
For Which Guitarists and Styles
Thanks to its Modern "D" profile, compound radius, and Medium Jumbo frets, this Telecaster is perfect for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a fast, stable, and very clean instrument in real-world conditions (rehearsals, stage, recording). It excels in pop, rock, funk, modern country, and alternative music, while remaining comfortable with more saturated tones thanks to the noiseless pickups and the flexibility of the S-1 electronics.
The Sound
The selected alder body delivers a typically Fender balance: present mids, firm lows, and clear highs, ideal for maintaining definition in the mix. The Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups retain the attack and bite of a Tele while minimizing unwanted noise, a real advantage with higher gain settings or stage lighting. The 3-position selector covers the classics (bridge, middle, neck), while the S-1 switch adds a series wiring option, useful for achieving a thicker, more "muscular" sound when pushing a chorus, solo, or riff. The hardtail string-through-body bridge with 6 chromed brass saddles promotes intonation accuracy and solid sustain, with a crisp pick response.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes with a Deluxe Molded Case included, perfectly suited to the Telecaster format. To stay within original specifications, you can use Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings in .009-.042 gauge. The 1/8 Hex (Allen) truss rod wrench is recommended for neck relief adjustments.

Questions frequently asked
Are the Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups suitable for distorted sounds?
The two Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups reduce unwanted noise, including when using higher gain or under stage lighting. The SS configuration maintains the bridge, middle, and neck positions on the 3-way selector.
What does the S-1 switch do on this Telecaster?
The S-1 switch integrated into the volume knob activates a series wiring of the pickups. This option bypasses the pickup selector. The result is a thicker tone to support a riff or solo.
Is the Modern D neck comfortable for fast playing?
A Modern "D" profile, combined with a compound radius from 10 to 14 inches and 22 medium jumbo frets, promotes a contemporary approach to the neck. The nut width is 42.8 mm and the Luminlay side dots remain visible on stage.
What string gauge should be used and is a case included?
Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings in .009-.042 match the indicated gauge, and a Deluxe Molded Case is included.
Is this guitar available for left-handed players and what is its scale length?
This version is intended for right-handed players. The 25.5-inch scale length, or 647.7 mm, corresponds to the Fender standard, with a fixed string-through-body bridge and six chrome-plated brass saddles.
