Description
This is the Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Telecaster in Antique Olive, outfitted with a roasted maple neck and a killer set of Custom Shop Texas Special pickups. It's made for players who want that classic Tele edge with modern tuning stability, pro-level feel, and just a bit more output and attitude. If you're used to traditional Teles but want something sleeker and more stage-ready, this one's going to feel like a big step forward.
You're working with a select alder body that's contoured for comfort, plus a Modern "D" roasted maple neck that's satin-finished and fast under the hand. The 10"-14" compound radius fingerboard gives you smooth chording down low and easy bends up top, while the medium jumbo frets make everything feel effortless. The Texas Special single coils are hotter and more mid-forward than vintage-style Tele pickups, but still give you all the snap and bite you'd expect-just with a little more push when you need it. Flip on the S-1 switch and you get series wiring for fuller, humbucker-style tones without changing your pickup layout.
It plays clean, feels tight, and delivers on versatility. Locking tuners, brass saddles, and the six-saddle hardtail bridge keep intonation locked in and response dialed. We've had a few of these limited Ultras through the shop now, and they've been some of the most consistent and well-balanced guitars we've put in players' hands. If you're looking to cover a lot of ground without sacrificing that Tele foundation, this one's a no-brainer.
