T Style Guitar

Fender American Ultra Luxe '60s Telecaster Custom SS RW Lake Placid Blue combines Fender heritage with contemporary demands. With its solid alder body, sculpted Ultra contours and nitro Heirloom varnish, this made-in-the-USA electric guitar makes its intentions clear: to seduce musicians who love vintage sensations with contemporary comfort. The screwed, quarter-sawn maple neck has a Modern D profile, reinforced by a progressive radius from 10 to 14 inches for painless high-speed playing. The rosewood fingerboard, stainless-steel frets, Luminlay markers and contoured heel are all geared towards pure performance. A pair of Pure Vintage '63 pickups add bite, brilliance and a tonal palette capable of sending shivers down your spine, even on A minor. The whole package is rounded off by a chromed brass 6-bridge and locking tuners for Zen tuning.

From the very first riff, the Fender American Ultra Luxe '60s Telecaster Custom Lake Placid Blue establishes a climate of confidence. It's not just a Telecaster with a nice dress, it's a model designed for your comfort, right down to the smallest detail.
Its Modern D neck has a width that breathes, rounded Ultra edges, and a satin finish that makes you want to come back to it, even after a wrong note. Access to the treble? Nothing to report: everything glides, everything responds, thanks to a contoured heel that makes you forget the compromises of yesteryear.

Fender has played the sonic elegance card with its Pure Vintage '63 pickups mounted in SS configuration. Do you like crackle and pop without tearing the enamel? Here, the register ranges from crystal-clear to warm midrange, with that little 'twang' that makes every sensitive string in your body vibrate. And with the S-1 Switch, one click is all it takes to switch to a more muscular series wiring, as long as you remember which position you're in.

In terms of feel, the stainless steel frets offer a durable and precise surface. There's no need to worry about premature wear or oxidation: this set of Medium Jumbo frets holds its shape year after year. And if you've ever tried to play on a stage with uncertain lighting, the Luminlay side markers are here to save the day, like an emergency firefly.

The fixed bridge with 6 chromed brass bridges stabilises things without killing the mojo. Vibrations are transmitted cleanly, intonation settings are precise and each string finds its place without pulling the blanket.
Add to that the locking action, and you've got a guitar that will take your most muscular bends without getting upset. A reliable partner, even when inspiration takes you down paths that your tuner hadn't approved.
