Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage
'50s Telecaster – Heirloom Finish

Classic Tele Tone, Ultra Luxe Feel

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster brings together timeless Tele design and state-of-the-art playability. Part of the Ultra Luxe Vintage series, this guitar pays homage to Fender’s early craftsmanship while pushing forward with elite modern refinements.

A select ash body dressed in Fender’s aged Heirloom™ nitro lacquer offers both visual character and open, resonant tone. Sculpted Ultra contours and a tapered neck heel enhance playing comfort and upper fret access, making this Tele a performance-ready tool for demanding players.

The quartersawn maple neck features a fast Modern "D" profile, 10"–14" compound radius, and Ultra rolled fingerboard edges for effortless bends and smooth transitions. Medium jumbo stainless-steel frets ensure durability and precision, while Luminlay® side dots improve visibility on dark stages.

At the heart of the tone are Pure Vintage ’51 Tele® pickups, delivering bold, articulate single-coil clarity with the warmth and punch of the original ‘50s Telecasters. Combined with S-1™ switching, this Telecaster provides versatile sonic options for stage or studio. High-performance hardware—including a 6-saddle bridge with brass block saddles and locking tuners—ensures impeccable tuning stability and response.
