Fender 75th Anniversary American Ultra II Telecaster | Demo & Overview with Molly Miller

Description

A feast for the eyes and ears, the 75th Anniversary American Ultra II Telecaster stands at the forefront of Fender’s modern evolution—the culmination of three-quarters of a century of relentless refinement, innovation and performance-driven design. Built from select alder and finished in striking Liquid Gold, its sculpted body contours and tapered neck heel deliver fluid access and stage-ready presence in equal measure. A quartersawn maple neck with a Modern “D” profile and Ultra Satin finish pairs with a 10–14" compound-radius ebony fingerboard for fast, precise playability across the entire scale. Under the hood, a 75th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Tele neck pickup and Fastlane humbucker bridge pickup deliver crystalline clarity, snappy Tele articulation and muscular drive—completely free of hum. Dual S-1 switching expands the tonal range even further, unlocking series pickup operation and additional humbucker wiring options. This is the Telecaster at its most advanced.

Select Alder Body With Sculpted Contours for Resonant Power and Modern Comfort

The American Ultra II Tele’s foundation begins with select alder—chosen for its balanced response and articulate midrange clarity—shaped into a refined evolution of the Telecaster silhouette. Sculpted body contours enhance comfort without compromising resonance, creating a platform that feels sleek against the body yet retains the unmistakable snap and projection of a classic Tele. Finished in high-gloss Liquid Gold, the surface radiates depth and dimensionality under stage lights, reinforcing the instrument’s commanding presence while preserving the lively, responsive character that defines its voice.

Ultra Noiseless and Fastlane Pickups With Dual S-1 Switching

A 75th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Tele single-coil in the neck position delivers clear, bell-like warmth and precise articulation without introducing unwanted hum. At the bridge, the Fastlane rail humbucker adds focused midrange power and tight low-end drive, expanding the instrument’s tonal reach into thicker, more aggressive territory. Integrated S-1 switching elevates versatility even further: the volume control engages series operation between the pickups for increased output and density, while the tone control activates additional series/parallel options for the bridge humbucker. The result is a guitar capable of crystalline cleans, classic Tele bite and muscular modern lead tones—all from a streamlined control layout.

Quartersawn Maple Neck and Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Effortless Precision

The 75th Anniversary Tele's quartersawn maple neck is engineered for stability and long-term performance, reinforcing sustain while resisting environmental changes. Its Modern “D” profile offers a slim yet substantial feel, designed for speed without sacrificing support. The Ultra Satin finish ensures fluid movement across positions, while the 10–14" compound-radius ebony fingerboard transitions seamlessly from comfortable chord work to bend-friendly upper-register playability. Custom 75th Anniversary lap steel–inspired inlays add a subtle nod to Fender’s earliest electric innovations, paired with Luminlay side dots for confident fingerboard navigation on dark stages. Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut complete a platform built for precision.

Six-Saddle Hardtail Bridge and Locking Tuners for Stability

Every detail of the American Ultra II Telecaster is engineered for uncompromising control. The six-saddle string-thru-body hardtail bridge with raw brass saddles delivers precise intonation and balanced sustain across the 25.5" scale, allowing each string to respond with clarity and authority. Deluxe locking tuners ensure rapid string changes and unwavering tuning stability under performance pressure. Heavy knurled aluminum knobs and a black anodized aluminum pickguard complete the instrument’s refined, purposeful aesthetic, reinforcing a design built for exacting, modern performance.

A Fender Telecaster at Its Most Refined

As part of Fender’s limited-edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster collection, this American Ultra II Tele represents the apex of the company’s modern design philosophy. From its sculpted alder body and quartersawn maple neck to its expanded S-1 switching architecture and Liquid Gold finish, every element reflects 75 years of continual innovation and refinement. Rather than simply revisiting tradition, this instrument advances it—delivering uncompromising versatility, striking visual presence and precision-built performance for the modern player.
