The more I see this guitar the more I want one. I really like the side Illuminated markers. I’m 65 in my vision is not what it used to be so that would be really helpful. Love the color and the features on this instrument.
I have an Ultra Tele and an Ultra Luxe Strat..... this seems like an I-Phone update. Fender made a few minor changes to the Ultra, renamed it, and bumped up the price. Don't get me me wrong, the Ultra series is fantastic, but I don't think we really needed the series ii.
Hi, I am ready to purchase a Fender Ultra Telecaster. However, since the new model just came out, my question is: Is it worth the $400.00 difference with the upgrades? I will be using the new Fender Promaster with it.
Prerelease spec sheet says middle position for the S1, though the marketing on their website suggests otherwise. Fender can't seem to be consistent with what they send us before a product launch and what they say to the public post-launch. It's quite frustrating to be honest.
I hope they start offering more Tele models with the arm contour.
Agreed. It adds a level of comfort that should be a mainstay in the Tele design.
Nice updates, but I'm glad I got the Arctic Pearl Ultra with the black binding
Yeah, that was a great finish!
Got my Texas Tea and in love. Great guitar

i wanted one until i saw the price.
Oh man. That thing is sharp!
I love my tele but man these ultra 2s are looking and sounding hot!
Agreed! They’re killer.
Thank you!
Is Fender going to make a 2024 Fender American Ultra II Lux Telecaster?
They’ve updated every series to a “II,” except for the Player Plus and Ultra Luxe. My guess is that these two series will be updated in 2025.
WOW ! Love it .. But @ $2,200 might be too much for my pocketbook ! sounds / looks great though ..

That’s a fair take.

Nice, but i bought the ‘51 AV2 Tele
Great guitar! Hope you’ve enjoyed playing it.
I believe the S1 switch now works in all positions, not just middle.

@billys8841 S1 is both in series.
Thanks so much for the review! Fender should do away with the neck pup screws on each side. Betcha that Tele plays like “buttah”.
Save the $$, buy a high grade squire with some upgrades 😊
That right there shouldnt cost more than 200$ because my Squier Sounds better
