Fender American Ultra Telecaster - Mocha Burst with Maple Fingerboard
The American Ultra Telecaster is Fender’s flagship modern-production Telecaster, designed for players who want classic Tele tone with high-performance modern upgrades—comfort contours, noiseless pickups, and a compound-radius neck for fast, precise playing.
🔥 Core Specifications

- Finish: Gloss Urethane

🎛 S-1 Switching System
- Engages series wiring (fatter, humbucker-like tone)

➡️ This gives you everything from:
- Classic Tele twang

Mocha Burst is a premium finish that blends a warm amber center into darker brown edges, giving it a deep, slightly “aged-modern” aesthetic that stands out from traditional sunburst finishes.
