Description
This is the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Telecaster Custom in Lake Placid Blue with a rosewood fretboard. If you're after that classic double-bound Custom Tele look but need something that plays cleaner, stays in tune longer, and offers more tonal flexibility, this one really covers a lot of ground. It's ideal for players who love the vintage aesthetic but want a guitar that can handle a more demanding, modern workflow-whether that's gigging, recording, or both.
Under the Heirloom nitro finish, the alder body has carved contours for added comfort and a bit of weight relief where it counts. The quartersawn maple neck has a Modern "D" profile, rolled fretboard edges, and stainless steel frets on a 10"-14" compound radius rosewood board. It's smooth, easy to play, and feels broken in without sacrificing precision. You're working with a set of Pure Vintage '63 pickups that deliver punchy, warm Tele tones with just enough bite up top. The S-1 switch adds a series wiring option, giving you that thicker, more humbucker-like voice instantly-really useful for boosting leads or hitting the front of a clean amp a little harder.
What stands out about this Tele is how refined and road-ready it feels. The contoured heel, locking tuners, and 6-saddle bridge all add up to a super reliable instrument that's easy to maintain and tweak. The Lake Placid Blue with mint binding is a standout look, but the feel and tone are what really seal it. We've been consistently impressed by how balanced and dialed-in these Custom Teles are out of the case.
