Fender Ultra Telecaster in Texas Tea Unboxing, Play-through, and Impressions (The Good, The Bad?)

[@gezor20]

some wonderful playing.... I am in the phase of "watching every american ultra tele video" now myself, and I can say that this was the best, most harmonic and enjoyable playing that I have heard.

[@GregSummersMusic]

Were you watching videos to help determine a purchase? If so, what did you end up with? I ask as a person looking to make a purchase for an American Fender lol.

[@GregSummersMusic]

My sweetwater rep suggested this one. I don’t have it anymore though. I sold it to a friend and now I have the suhr classic t. The neck profile and pickups suit me better. The ultra is still a great guitar though.

Really nice guitar! I got a used American Deluxe Tele last year with the N3 pickups. They were fine...for a while. Then I pulled them out and tried Dimarzio Areas...nope. Gave up on noiseless and went Suhr Classic and that hit the spot.

[@GregSummersMusic]

I’ve gotten used to the pickups for the moment. I’d love a Suhr classic down the road to compliment my Suhr standard I have. I’d have to think about a different neck profile though. Suhr classic neck is a little fatter than I would like. Even C Slim is a favorite of mine. For classic tele tone I can still grab my American pro tele. Those pickups are great. Thanks for the comment!

[@ThatGuy-xl5qt]

@Luke I love everything about it I had a tele 30 some years ago.

[@ThatGuy-xl5qt]

@Luke also the neck is amazing. It’s so easy to play. My hands aren’t huge and even people with bigger hands say “it feels perfect “.

[@GregSummersMusic]

I agree with it being different. The noiseless pickups contribute to that. It can be more modern but you still get some classic twang. Just not vintage stuff in my opinion. The noiseless just aren’t quite as warm as others but you can tweak things to get comfortable

[@GregSummersMusic]

The professional ones would be warmer if that’s what you mean. Yes. The noiseless tends to be thinner in my opinion. Different animals though. I worked with them but when I went back to the v-mods they were very different. Personally I preferred the v-mods but everyone has a different ear.

[@jixxxxer17]

the head stock looks more on the wider side rather than narrower, correct ? As you know I'm sure some Tele's have a more narrow head stock , Thanks !

[@pluckerpick]

Did you ponder over the Maple vs Rosewood decision or was Rosewood your preferred option from the beginning?

[@GregSummersMusic]

For this one it was all about the Texas tea and it’s only in rosewood. I don’t have this tele anymore. I sold it and bought a Suhr and that is maple. I have another tele tbats also maple so I guess I prefer maple on the teles at least. I do remember playing an ultra model in maple and I liked that one better as well but this Texas Tea is such a great finish.

[@jackblack2321]

I like it, love the look and playability, never liked that tele chicken pickn sound. Would u say it's more of a rock machine? I ordered one. I also ordered an evh wolfgang special. Not sure which i will keep

[@GregSummersMusic]

Yea I’d say it’s definitely got less of that twang but still some tele character. It can definitely cover rock. As far as the evh vs the tele they will be different animals so not sure if it’s a fair fight lol. I would say they cover different things.

Do you still have it, play it 4 years later? What do you think about it now?

[@martinvosicka470]

I think it's awesome guitar and honestly, these days If you want to get high quality Tele from Fender and you cannot stand narrow tall frets (like me) this is possibly the only option you can go for unless you want to spend fortune for some relic models. I definitely go for this ine👍

[@GregSummersMusic]

For narrow tall frets I think it makes a difference on the neck profile as well. For me on a standard C like the strat and tell pro models, I really liked the narrow tall frets so it didn’t feel like I was digging into the fretboard. For this ultra the D neck profile is different so the medium jumbo we’re fine for me.

[@tg8603]

I got mine about 3 months ago. I could not love a human baby as much as I love that guitar. Suberb feel and playability. Fantastic for blues, rock, country, and the most fun is punk rock!

[@GregSummersMusic]

Yea only way to really tell is by putting a regular tone pot in there to see how they compare. It works well and I use the tone more often on teles than most guitars. I’ve been able to get really comfortable with the ultra and got things dialed in fairly well. I’m glad I could help a little with your decision. It’s a very comfortable guitar.

[@mailvilla]

06/27/2020: What do you think of Fender Noiseless pickups for Spank, Quack, and CountryTwang sounds without using a delay, reverb, compression pedal?

[@GregSummersMusic]

Well would be pretty dry lol. The noiseless pickups have gotten better over the years from what I hear. This is my first guitar with them. I had to dial in things initially to get them where I wanted them. There’s some twang, spank but my v-mod ones in my American professional have more twang. The ultra has some of the character but the others ones may have more of what you want. Some people love them and others hate them. They are less open sounding for sure. I’m ok with them right now though.

[@richardb7686]

Greg, great review. Very helpful. I like the physical attributes of this guitar, but I want the “traditional tele tone”. Do you think that can be achieved with different pickups?

[@GregSummersMusic]

Absolutely. So many options out there for traditional pickups. I don’t have alot of experience with tele pickups but my American tele has the vmod pickups in it and they are very warm and have that traditional tele tone.

[@dividedbytimestudios]

I have the Ultraburst Tele, of course I only have one guitar, but I dig the pickups, got mine in April 2020, I wouldn’t mind trying some options, but I’d try and stick with noiseless for sure, I love that Texas Tea, but that pickguard would have to go, kinda like the Taylor wooden pickguards, look great, but feels weird when your hand rubs on them, and I’m one to just plant my pinky on the guard

[@GregSummersMusic]

Yea the pickguard was ok for me unless I scratched it the wrong way with my fingernail then it was nails on a chalkboard or chewing on a styrofoam cup lol. The pickups grew on me but when I bought another tele without them I realize how much I was compromising (personal opinion). They aren’t bad but you have to work with them to get them to warm up.

[@tendingtropic7778]

Thank you for this: I got one a week ago. Question: At how many mm do you have your (neck) pickups? when I try to lower the neck pickup (bass side) to more than 3mm, it starts to wobble a bit. Did you have a similar experience? also: engaging the S1 switch really seems to raise the volume output too (and thus I hear a bit more hum). Does yours do that aswell?

[@GregSummersMusic]

I don’t have this guitar anymore but I didn’t have any of the issues you are describing. Make sure you are depressing the strings at the last fret (depress sixth string at last fret then measure at the pole piece and set to 3.6mm then depress 1st string and measure 2mm from Pole piece to string).

[@tendingtropic7778]

@@GregSummersMusic thanks for the info. i did what you write, and cant set it to more than 3.2 mm or so without the pickup wobbling too much. so perhaps I should go back to the retailer with the guitar, unfortunately.

[@GregSummersMusic]

You can remove the pickguard and check to make sure there are both springs under the pickup or just inspect for anything else that looks off…or like you said, make the retailer check it.

[@tendingtropic7778]

@@GregSummersMusic its a teleacaster with those rubber thingies, the pickup is attached to the pickguard. I checked, there are no springs under the pickup itself. (i checked)

[@GregSummersMusic]

Oh ok. I don’t have mine to check. Generally there are rubber things and springs but I could be wrong. You could probably Google noiseless pickups or pickup installation and someone would probably show what they look like underneath.

[@dchai61]

Can you compare the deep c neck on the professional playability vs. the ultra? Seem like you way more of a fan of the professional altogether?

[@GregSummersMusic]

From a tone perspective, the pickups in the pro are better to my ears for what a tele sounds like. My pro is very light and well balanced (from a weight perspective). The ultra is just a different animal, but since I've been playing it, it's becoming more and more a part of me and my playing. It's really solid, super comfortable, and the neck, although thinner, is very comfortable, great for bending, and has enough width to avoid cramping after a gig. Necks are so subjective, so it's hard to compare it for others, but that explanation is probably the best I could give at the moment.

[@hanashe4599]

Good review. A particular viewpoint based completely on your tastes, but cool. It's one more video bringing me closer to buying one instead of another model. I am having a hard time with the price difference and is it really worth it compared to simply modding another model to my taste. I am very much a Tele player these days to the point I am looking to get rid of my other non Tele guitars. But I write and play modern rock with a progressive edge. Not your normal Tele type player, but that doesn't matter of course.

[@GregSummersMusic]

A couple things drew me to this. The belly cut was nice, the compound radius neck, and also this color. It’s really a beautiful guitar. I’m kind of where you are at on teles but i did just buy another super strat Suhr that’s on its way now. With that said, and leaning towards your style of music, the ultra can certainly get you there. If you are paying that price, don’t be afraid to consider other brands as well. I bought a Suhr tele a few months ago (there’s a demo on my channel) and ended up selling this ultra to a good friend of mine. I love it but the Suhr is next level and the pickups are much better than the fender noiseless. It’s not traditional tele spank but more “in tele territory”. I can still get some spank to it but I can also crank up some ac/dc and go all out. This was basically John Suhr’s goal with these pickups. He does offer traditional tele pickups but all the classic T models come with the one I describe. This tele has Suhr’s even C slim and for me is the most comfortable neck I’ve ever had so my other Suhr guitars are the same. The regular classic T that they offer (mine is a 2020 limited edition) comes with a thicker, more standard C shape neck. The fender ultra has a D shape thinner neck. Still a compound radius which is what differs from a standard tele. Neck profile is extremely personal and subjective but it’s my main focus these days. The ultra is still comfortable but it’s definitely thinner than most teles. Not Ibanez thin..but thinner. Hope this helps you. Check out the other Suhr video on my channel. There are only a few demos out there of that particular model.

Lol you know it!

I love everything about the ultra Tele. My only thing is the noiseless pickups. I’m not a fan of them. I have a professional Tele. Hands down it’s the best Tele I’ve ever played. I would put those pickups in the Ultra.

[@GregSummersMusic]

Yep, they're not my favorite either but I am learning where they can fit in a mix. I don't want to jump the gun too soon and start ripping out pickups...truthfully the other day I bought a set of v-mod pickups and then realized I better do more research if I need to change out pots, etc and so I backed out of the sale. Will revisit later if I just can't deal. I play out this weekend so we will see. I have the pro tele so it's always nice to have options.

@@GregSummersMusic Keep me posted. That was the only thing I didnt like about this tele. The PUPS just sounded too dark. Great for rock and metal. Killer for hard rock tones.

Let’s hear the goddamn guitar not a bunch of noise 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

If they could just do a set neck I'd be fixed

Omg those are pretty cheap. I mean coming from Suhr..

[@GregSummersMusic]

I just bought a Suhr and have been using that a lot. Sold this guitar to our worship leader at church so at least it will stay in the family. ;-)

@@GregSummersMusic Which Suhr did you go for out of interest? Nice playing by the way

[@GregSummersMusic]

Thanks. I got the paulownia classic t. Check out my other videos. I did a little demo of it.

My $1100 Vintera II Nocaster sounds better than that! Damn, noiseless pickups are just kind of garbage, aren't they?

[@LEUNN_]

no

Beautiful guitar, but not worth $2,150 they are asking for.
