Description
This is the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde with a maple fretboard-a no-nonsense, stage-ready Tele that keeps the spirit of early '50s models alive but dials in all the right modern updates. If you're chasing that classic look and Tele twang, but need something that plays smoother, tunes tighter, and gives you a bit more flexibility, this one delivers across the board. It's a great fit for players who love vintage style but don't want to be stuck with vintage quirks.
You're working with a lightweight ash body finished in Heirloom nitro, which will wear in naturally over time. The quartersawn maple neck has a Modern "D" profile, rolled edges, and a 10"-14" compound radius for a playing feel that's fast and familiar, even if you're covering long sets. Stainless steel frets mean smooth bends and long-term durability. Tonally, the Pure Vintage '51 Tele pickups give you that dry, punchy attack and articulate top-end Telecasters are known for, and the S-1 switch adds a series wiring option no matter what position you're in-so you can flip into a fuller, humbucker-like sound without losing the Tele's identity.
It's reliable, it's resonant, and it plays like something built with the working guitarist in mind. The locking tuners make string changes quick and keep things stable, and the 6-saddle bridge with brass block saddles helps you stay in tune while getting your intonation spot-on. We've been consistently impressed by how these Ultra Luxe Vintage Teles hold up in every setting-they feel solid, responsive, and ready to work.
