Built for players boldly seeking the best, American Ultra II is our most advanced series of instruments. American Ultra II guitars and basses feature premium materials, precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design for instruments that both advance the state-of-the-art and stand the test of time.

The Fender American Ultra II Telecaster features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish.

Under the hood, the Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups deliver sweet crystalline cleans, snappy twang and beefy growl, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1 switch cleverly engages a series wiring option for even more tonal variety. Additional road-ready features include 6-saddle string-through-body bridge with chromed brass saddles, Deluxe locking tuners, knurled aluminum knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
