Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The American Ultra II Telecaster in this right-handed ebony-fingerboard configuration combines a select alder body with a modern neck and hardware package. Its two Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups retain the supplied Tele sound range without hum, while the S-1 control selects a series-wiring option for fuller output. The Modern D quartersawn maple neck, compound-radius ebony board, rolled edges, sculpted contours, and tapered heel focus the design on access and handling. A fixed six-saddle string-through bridge, locking tuners, and deluxe molded case complete the setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Right-handed players who need noiseless Tele pickup sounds plus a selectable series-wiring option.
- Rehearsal, studio, or stage parts that alternate between clean leads, overdriven chords, and rhythm work.
- Higher-fret work using the tapered neck heel, sculpted contours, compound-radius board, and medium-jumbo frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; it is specified as right handed.
- Players who need a tremolo-equipped guitar; its bridge is fixed.
