Part of Fender's limited edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection, built on the American Ultra II platform. A select alder body with Ultra contours and a sculpted neck heel, and a quartersawn maple neck in Fender's Modern "D" profile with an Ultra Satin finish.
The finish is Liquid Gold, a deep metallic flake with a prism effect under light. It sits against black chrome hardware and a black anodized aluminum pickguard, with gold accents on the bridge and a gold neck pickup cover.
The ebony fingerboard has a 10" to 14" compound radius, Ultra rolled edges, 22 medium jumbo frets, lap steel inspired inlays and Luminlay side dots. Rounder near the nut for chords, flatter up top for bends.
Both pickups were voiced for this model. In the bridge is a 75th Anniversary Fastlane, Fender's first single-spaced dual-coil humbucker, at medium output. In the neck is a 75th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Tele, the hottest Ultra Noiseless Tele Fender has made, voiced to match its output. Two S-1 switches add options: the one on the volume puts both pickups in series, the one on the tone flips the Fastlane between series and parallel.
String-through-body bridge with brass block saddles, short post locking tuners, and Fender's Deluxe Molded Case. 7 lb 9 oz.
