One look confirms it: the Fender American Ultra Luxe Telecaster isn't your father's Tele. Quite the contrary, this is a thoroughly modern axe that's built for modern players. The American Ultra Luxe Tele's compound-radius fingerboard and tapered neck heel turbocharge your playing, while custom Double Tap humbuckers elicit thunderous growls and metallic screams out of any amp — tube, solid-state, or modeling. You also get an S-1 switch for expanded sonic options. What's more, this solidbody electric guitar comes armed with a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo for uber-stable whammy bar pyrotechnics. There's no doubt that the American Ultra Telecaster was built for Tele aficionados who demand ultra-performance!
The headline says it all. The American Ultra Luxe Telecaster was made to be played. Hard. For starters, its fingerboard boasts an easy-playing compound-radius with stainless steel medium-jumbo frets.

And the neck’s super-slick Ultra Satin finish encourages deft hand maneuvering. Here at Music Experience, one of our favorite elements of the American Ultra Luxe Tele is its tapered neck heel. Play this Tele and you’ll understand — the perfectly sculpted heel gives you easy access to the guitar’s entire fretboard, making it a player’s dream come true.

This model features a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system which allows a range of vibrato effects – from subtle warble to wild dive bombs – and always stays in tune.
Stainless steel frets are significantly harder and smoother than traditional nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel that makes bending easy.
The Augmented “D” neck profile is a refined hybrid shape with slightly more body than the Modern “D”. The profile becomes subtly fuller towards the twelfth fret, with shoulders that soften in the higher register. Ultra rolled fingerboard.
The Ultra Double Tap™ pickups offer full, rich humbucking tones – and can be split using the S-1 switch to activate the Double Tap ™ technology, providing hot single-coil sounds for dynamic and versatile Fender tone.
Built for speed and easy bending, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut for chording, becoming increasingly flat as it nears the upper register for choke-free bending.
The tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard, while the sculpted rear body contour is designed for comfort.
