One look confirms it: the Fender American Ultra Luxe Telecaster isn't your father's Tele. Quite the contrary, this is a thoroughly modern axe that's built for modern players. The American Ultra Luxe Tele's compound-radius fingerboard and tapered neck heel turbocharge your playing, while custom Double Tap humbuckers elicit thunderous growls and metallic screams out of any amp ? tube, solid-state, or modeling. You also get an S-1 switch for expanded sonic options. What's more, this solidbody electric guitar comes armed with a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo for uber-stable whammy bar pyrotechnics. There's no doubt that the American Ultra Telecaster was built for Tele aficionados who demand ultra-performance.
