State-of-the-art performance, vintage-inspired tone
Onboard the American Ultra Luxe Telecaster is a duo of Fender’s Ultra Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coil pickups. These pickups deliver the punch and twang that define the Telecaster. That said, Fender’s revolutionary Noiseless circuitry eliminates the signal noise and hum that are inherent in vintage single-coil designs. You can plug the American Ultra Luxe Telecaster into anything— old-school tube combos, digital modeling software, high-gain stacks — and you’ll experience vintage-inspired tone with the level of performance you’d expect from a modern pickup. Plus, this Telecaster includes an S-1 switch embedded in its volume knob that places the pickups in series for raging humbucker-esque tones. If you enjoy classic tones but demand state-of-the-art performance, the American Ultra Luxe Telecaster delivers the goods.
The Fender Telecaster: a brief history
This is it: the original guitar that started Fender’s march into contemporary music history. First named the Broadcaster, it appeared in the early 1950s. The ingeniously simple design, the bolt-on neck, and the slab body all contribute to the guitar’s trademark tones and player-friendly feel. From Nashville twang to blistering rock tones, the Telecaster sound has made its presence felt in nearly every musical category. The diverse list of Telecaster players — including Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, James Burton, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer, and John 5 — attests to the guitar’s universal appeal.
