“Considerably less money than going down even the light-relic route in the Fender Custom Shop”: Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Telecaster and ’60s Strat HSS review

Now, introduced just a few weeks ago are their replacements: the longer-titled American Ultra Luxe Vintage models (we understand the Ultra II models will be ongoing). (Image credit: Future/Phil Barker)There’s no truck with the noise-cancelling single coils of the Ultra II or prior Ultra Luxe models. The Luxe Vintage models return to Fender’s long-running Pure Vintage pickups (with the exception of the Haymaker humbucker, which we first saw on the refreshed Ultra II’s Strat HSS). The actual hardware choice follows the Ultra II closely and is pretty much the same as the original Ultra models.
