Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around the Telecaster format, the American Ultra II pairs two Noiseless Vintage Tele pickups with a three-position blade switch for clean sounds and Tele twang without hum. Pressing the S-1 control adds series wiring for a thicker option. Its quartersawn maple Modern D neck, rolled fingerboard edges, tapered heel, and sculpted alder body shape the playing experience, while the fixed six-saddle bridge and locking tuners handle the practical hardware side.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live sets needing quick movement between standard Tele pickup selections and the S-1 series-wiring voice.
- Lead work that benefits from the tapered heel and access to the upper frets.
- Players wanting a Telecaster supplied with a Deluxe molded case.
