Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster Electric Guitar – Butterscotch Blonde, Heirloom Lacquer

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster Electric Guitar blends traditional, aged Tele looks and twang with top-tier performance enhancements to delight traditionalists and modern players alike. Primed for your next live show or recording session, this guitar delivers authentic Tele tone in a package that’s all about comfort and maximum playability. With features such as stainless steel frets over a compound-radius fingerboard, Luminlay side dots, a TUSQ nut, a luxurious satin-finished maple neck, and contoured neck joint carvings for effortless upper-fret access, you’ll feel like this is an instrument built just for you. Add in locking tuners and individual brass saddles to stabilize your tuning, and the American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster is poised to become your next go-to guitar in your collection.

The heart and soul of an early Telecaster

Vintage Tele aficionados and modern players alike here rally behind the classic aesthetic and natural resonance of the American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster. Period-correct appointments were introduced to make this an instantly recognizable work of art, such as a 1-ply black pickguard over an ash body, a maple fingerboard with clay dot fret markers, and a glossy headstock with waterslide logo. This fusing of ash and maple gave the original Tele its snappy-sounding character, while Fender’s Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the ash body to resonate freely. To add to the quintessential early Tele vibe, light aging with uniquely patterned finish checking around the body puts the vintage character highly sought after by collectors right in your hands.

Classic styling meets modern performance

When it comes to the American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster, playability and performance are at the forefront. This traditionally styled Tele boasts plenty of mindful updates hiding in plain sight. For starters, the quarter-sawn maple neck features a satin finish that provides a natural texture, and Fender’s Modern D profile keeps your hands unencumbered. The softened edges of the fingerboard offer a familiar, “broken-in” response that’s a joy to play. Upgraded stainless steel frets facilitate extra-smooth, effortless string bends and the fastest playing possible for years to come due to their extreme durability. The 10-inch to 14-inch compound-radius fingerboard further accentuates the stainless steel frets with its accommodating profile, no matter where you play. To heat things up further with expressive playability, the pickup switch is angled toward the neck, providing an ergonomic switching experience that conforms to the natural movement of your arm. Finally, the ultra-tapered neck heel is ergonomically contoured to offer uncompromising access to the entire fingerboard for your rapid-fire solo work. From strummers to musical acrobats, the American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster encourages endless amounts of playtime.

Pure Vintage tone

Sometimes, even the most contemporary performers celebrate a return to form — case in point, Fender’s Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickup set. Dual single-coils capture the original twang and flair that catapulted the Telecaster to the iconic status it possesses to this day. Using period-correct wire for each pickup and Alnico III magnets, the Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickup set oozes early Tele tone with a biting midrange, tight bass, and instant picking response. No American Ultra Luxe Vintage series instrument is complete without Fender’s trademark electronic addition — the S-1 switch, which unleashes the full power of the Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickup set, forcing the American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster to the front of your band mix.

Aged-in Heirloom nitro lacquer finish

For guitarists who crave the charming patina of a well-aged axe, only traditional nitrocellulose lacquer will do. Fender used nitro lacquer as the standard finish throughout its mid-century golden age, and players still champion it today for the way it naturally cracks, checks, and ages with a look and feel that’s undeniably appealing. The American Ultra Luxe Vintage lineup kick-starts this process with an Heirloom lacquer coat: a nitro lacquer finish with a semi-gloss shine and a lightly aged exterior. Moreover, scores of vintage Fender followers believe that a thin nitro finish both enhances an instrument aesthetically and also allows the guitar’s body to better resonate and sustain. Finally, because of nitro’s natural unpredictability, every American Ultra Luxe Vintage guitar sports a unique arrangement of checking, wear, and crazing that will only continue to gracefully develop the more you play.

American Ultra Luxe Vintage: professional playability with an old-school soul

Fender has explored the “vintage-meets-modern” formula many times over the years, but it’s never felt more fully realized than in the American Ultra Luxe Vintage series. In essence, this lineup merges key playability-enhancing features of the Ultra Luxe range — medium-jumbo stainless steel frets, contemporary contours, compound-radius fingerboards, superior switching, and beyond — with period-accurate Pure Vintage pickups and retro Fender aesthetics. Wrapped up in unabashedly retro Heirloom nitro lacquer finishes with light aging, American Ultra Luxe Vintage instruments shatter the vintage/modern dichotomy by combining the most compelling elements of Fender’s past and present into a single high-performance package.
