Description
This is the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster in White Blonde with a maple fretboard, designed for players who want the twang and look of a classic '50s Tele but with all the modern playability upgrades you'd expect in a pro-level guitar. With its premium ash body and Heirloom nitro finish, this one feels vintage-inspired in all the right ways, but the comfort and versatility make it ready for just about anything you want to throw at it-live, in the studio, or at home.
You've got a quartersawn maple neck with a Modern "D" profile and ultra-rolled fretboard edges, paired with medium jumbo stainless steel frets and a compound radius board. It plays fast and clean, and the sculpted heel gives you easy reach all the way up. Under the hood, a set of Pure Vintage '51 Tele pickups deliver punchy, articulate tones with that unmistakable Tele top-end. There's also an S-1 switch wired for series operation in any position, so you can kick it into thicker, more aggressive tones on the fly. The 6-saddle Tele bridge with brass block saddles improves tuning accuracy and intonation without messing with the classic vibe.
This Tele really gets the balance right between vintage character and modern reliability. The locking tuners are fast and stable, the tone options are genuinely useful, and the neck just feels great in-hand. We've seen a lot of modern Teles, and this one hits a high mark in terms of feel, fit, and tone. If you're after that '50s tone but want to avoid the limitations of a true vintage-style build, this one closes the gap really nicely.
