75th Anniversary Fastlane™ Humbucker Pickup and 75th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless™ Tele® Pickup
This Anniversary Ultra Telecaster features a set of pickups specially voiced for this instrument. Fender's first ever single spaced dual coil pickup, the Fastlane humbucker is meticulously voiced to have a present top end with a decided mid push. It is a medium output pickup with great string to string note clarity and warm, articulate breakup. The neck pickup is our hottest Ultra Noiseless Tele pickup to date, voiced to match the output of the Fastlane without sacrificing clarity and warmth.

Advanced S-1™ Switching
This instrument offers ultimate tonal versatility via two S-1™ switches on the volume and tone knob. The S-1™ switch on the volume activates series mode, engaging both pickups wired in series for a fatter sound with a bump in output. The S-1™ on the tone knob changes the wiring on the Fastlane™ humbucker from series to parallel, offering a brighter, chimier, lower-output tone that’s like a beefier single-coil but still hum-canceling.

Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard, Ultra Rolled Edges, Luminlay Side Dots and Lap Steel Inspired Inlays
Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility on the darkest stages while lap steel inspired inlays add distinctive vintage character and visual appeal. "Ultra" rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth "Ultra" satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

Liquid Gold Finish with Black Chrome Hardware
This anniversary Telecaster is dressed up with an incredible Liquid Gold finish that features deep metallic flake which reflects light with a dazzling prism-like glow. All of the hardware is finished in a classy black chrome which is accented by gold appointments on the bridge and pickups for a modern sophisticated look.

6-Saddle String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge with Raw Brass Saddles
This precision manufactured strings-through-body bridge features raw brass block saddles for endless sustain, precise attack and rock-solid tuning stability.

Short Post Locking Tuners
A high-performance feature, short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper and more consistent break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
