The Modern Workhorse Telecaster Reimagined with Boutique Specifications
The Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Telecaster fuses historic, iconic style with advanced modern appointments to take your performance to stratospheric heights. This ultra-exclusive Fender Special Run (FSR) model is crafted around a highly select Roasted Ash body. By thermally curing the ash body, Fender has unlocked a deeper acoustic resonance, enhanced structural stability, and a lightweight feel that tone-chasers dream of—finished beautifully in gloss Natural to let the exquisite ash grain shine.
For unparalleled playability, the neck is carved from robust Roasted Quartersawn Maple. It features Fender’s Modern "D" profile with a satin urethane finish that eliminates friction. The matching 10"-14" compound radius quartersawn maple fingerboard is meticulously crafted with ultra-rolled edges, 22 medium-jumbo frets, high-performance Luminlay® side dots, and a Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut. Combined with a tapered neck heel and sculpted back contours, this Tele offers unrestricted access to the absolute highest registers of the fretboard.
Uncompromising tone lies under the hood: a calibrated pair of Custom Shop Twisted Tele® Single-Coil pickups. These pickups are famous for a reason—they break from traditional Telecaster design by utilizing a taller neck bobbin wound with thin wire to deliver a glassy, Strat-like neck pickup chime, paired with a bridge pickup that offers classic, high-output country twang and beefy rock growl. The integrated S-1™ switch on the volume control engages series wiring, instantly shifting the guitar into a high-output, fat-sounding humbucking voice.
The Sanctuary Expert Analysis
"The Telecaster has always been the ultimate blue-collar workhorse, but this Limited Edition Ultra II version turns it into a high-end luxury hot rod. The roasted ash body has a punchy, resonant acoustic voice that sings, while the Twisted Tele pickups solve the age-old problem of the muddy neck pickup. When you engage the S-1 series switch, it feels like having a hidden humbucking boost right at your fingertips."
