SELECT ASH BODY WITH ULTRA CONTOURS AND HEIRLOOM™ LACQUER FINISH
Premium ash bodies provide the foundation for authentic Fender tone, offering exceptional resonance and character. Elegant 'Ultra' sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional. Channeling a 1950s Telecaster®, our Heirloom Lacquer finish reproduces the subtle patina and distinctive look of a treasured vintage instrument.

QUARTERSAWN MODERN “D” PROFILE NECK AND TAPERED NECK HEEL
Slim with wide shoulders, the "Modern D" neck profile works for any style of playing. Paired with an extra-strong quartersawn maple neck and tapered neck heel, this neck delivers unparalleled stability and access to the upper registers of the fingerboard.

10”-14” COMPOUND RADIUS FINGERBOARD WITH ULTRA ROLLED EDGES AND LUMINLAY® SIDE DOTS
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 even on the darkest stages while “Ultra” rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth “Ultra” satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

STAINLESS STEEL FRETS
Premium stainless steel frets deliver unmatched tone, durability and performance. These frets require minimal maintenance, resist corrosion, and maintain their mirror-like polish – ensuring consistent playability and lasting quality for years to come

PURE VINTAGE ’51 TELE® SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS AND S-1™ SWITCHING
Specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years, Pure Vintage pickups are constructed exactly like the pickups from Fender’s golden years. Materials include cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins and alnico magnets. Our patented S-1™ switch selects between series or parallel wiring for added tonal range, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.

ULTRA TELE BRIDGE WITH UNPLATED POLISHED BRASS SADDLES
Featuring six unplated polished brass block saddles, the Ultra Tele® bridge delivers exceptional intonation accuracy and classic Telecaster® snap without compromising traditional tone. The precisely engineered saddles provide improved string-to-string balance and enhanced sustain while preserving that coveted brass-induced twang that defines the Telecaster® sound.
