2022 Fender Limited Edition American Ultra Telecaster Ebony Fingerboard Umbra w/Case

This 2022 Fender Limited Edition American Ultra Telecaster in Umbra is in good used condition and plays great with a fresh set of strings. Weight is 7 lbs 12 oz — light for a Tele with a flame maple top.

The flame top under the Umbra finish is genuinely striking, and the body is in solid shape overall — the gloss finish on top shows some very minor swirl marks under direct light, plus light waving in spots from natural finish settling over the flame top. None of it is distracting in normal viewing. The back, sides, and neck are clean.

The pickguard shows the most wear by a wide margin — pick scratching and scuffing across the playing area. It's a cosmetic item only and easily replaced if a new owner wants the guitar to present cleaner. All hardware, electronics, and the Streaked Ebony fingerboard are clean and original. No modifications — everything on this guitar is factory.

Comes with the original Fender molded hardshell case. The case is in good shape but the key is missing, and the Certificate of Authenticity is no longer with the guitar.

American Ultra is Fender's most advanced production series, built for players who want the most refined version of the Tele platform — and this Limited Edition takes the formula and dresses it up. Fender partnered with Guitar Center on a small run of Ultras in 2022 featuring flame maple tops finished in Umbra, black-faced headstocks, and Streaked Ebony fingerboards in place of the standard rosewood. The result is one of the more visually distinctive Ultras Fender has put out, without giving up anything on the playability side that makes the Ultra series what it is.

Under the figured top, the Ultra spec is all there: alder body with sculpted rear contours, Modern D maple neck with Ultra Satin Urethane finish and rolled fingerboard edges, 10"–14" compound-radius Streaked Ebony fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a tapered heel that opens up the upper register in a way no traditional Tele neck joint can match. Two Ultra Noiseless Vintage Tele single-coils handle the tone work — true Tele voicing, no hum — and the S-1 switch nested in the volume knob brings in series wiring for a thicker, fuller sound when you want it. A treble bleed circuit keeps the high end intact as you roll back the volume.

This is a Tele for someone who wants the look of a high-end custom build with the playability of Fender's most modern American production guitar.
