Fender 75th Anniversary American Ultra II Telecaster - Liquid Gold with Ebony Fingerboard

Commemorating the Telecaster's 75th Anniversary, the Fender® American Ultra II Telecaster® represents the culmination of three-quarters of a century of innovation, expertise and relentless pursuit of perfection. This milestone instrument features a select alder body with sculpted body contours, finished in our stunning Liquid Gold-a lustrous, deep metallic finish that captures and reflects light with mesmerizing depth and richness. This premium finish combines golden warmth with sophisticated elegance, creating a guitar that's as visually striking on stage as it is sonically powerful. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern "D" profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Ebony 10"-14" compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, custom lap steel inlays, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register.

Under the hood, a 75th Anniversary Noiseless Single-Coil in the neck position pairs with a 75th Anniversary Fastlane™ bridge humbucker to deliver sweet crystalline cleans, snappy Tele® twang and beefy growl, all without a hint of hum. Dual patented S-1™ switches unlock unprecedented tonal versatility-one puts the pickups in series for even more sonic options, while the second cleverly engages series/parallel mode for the humbucker. Additional road-ready features include 6-saddle string-through-body bridge with brass saddles, Deluxe locking tuners, knurled aluminum knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.The American Ultra II Telecaster infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to stratospheric new heights. For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility.

HIGHLIGHTS:
75TH ANNIVERSARY FASTLANE™ HUMBUCKER PICKUP AND 75TH ANNIVERSARY ULTRA NOISELESS™ TELE® PICKUP
This Anniversary Ultra Telecaster features a set of pickups specially voiced for this instrument. Fender's first ever single spaced dual coil pickup, the Fastlane humbucker is meticulously voiced to have a present top end with a decided mid push. It is a medium output pickup with great string to string note clarity and warm, articulate breakup. The neck pickup is our hottest Ultra Noiseless Tele pickup to date, voiced to match the output of the Fastlane without sacrificing clarity and warmth.

ADVANCED S-1™ SWITCHING
This instrument offers ultimate tonal versatility via two S-1™ switches on the volume and tone knob. The S-1™ switch on the volume activates series mode, engaging both pickups wired in series for a fatter sound with a bump in output. The S-1™ on the tone knob changes the wiring on the Fastlane™ humbucker from series to parallel, offering a brighter, chimier, lower-output tone that's like a beefier single-coil but still hum-canceling.

COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY FINGERBOARD, ULTRA ROLLED EDGES, LUMINLAY SIDE DOTS AND LAP STEEL INSPIRED INLAYS
Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility on the darkest stages while lap steel inspired inlays add distinctive vintage character and visual appeal. "Ultra" rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth "Ultra" satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

LIQUID GOLD FINISH WITH BLACK CHROME HARDWARE
This anniversary Telecaster is dressed up with an incredible Liquid Gold finish that features deep metallic flake which reflects light with a dazzling prism-like glow. All of the hardware is finished in a classy black chrome which is accented by gold appointments on the bridge and pickups for a modern sophisticated look.

6-SADDLE STRING-THROUGH-BODY HARDTAIL BRIDGE WITH RAW BRASS SADDLES
This precision manufactured strings-through-body bridge features raw brass block saddles for endless sustain, precise attack and rock-solid tuning stability.

SHORT POST LOCKING TUNERS
A high-performance feature, short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper and more consistent break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
