Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
Finished in Fender's striking Texas Tea shift-color finish, this American Ultra Telecaster is a feature-packed, high-performance solidbody designed for modern precision and maximum versatility. Weighing 7 pounds 10 ounces, it pairs a bound alder body with a smooth, satin-finished maple neck in a fast Modern "D" profile, complete with a tapered neck heel and a 10"-14" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard for effortless playability across all 22 medium-jumbo frets. It comes equipped with dual Ultra Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coils for classic twang without single-coil hum, while an integrated S-1 switch in the volume pot engages series wiring to deliver beefier, humbucker-style tones. Accented by a 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard, knurled flat-top knobs, short-post Deluxe locking tuners, a bone nut, and a 6-saddle bridge with chromed brass saddles, this flagship Telecaster arrives protected inside a Fender molded hardshell case.
