Video Description
The Fender American Ultra II Telecaster is a 2024 reimagining of the masterpiece instrument that defined Fender Musical Instruments dating back to the early 1950s. In this video I explore the guitar, demonstrating the sounds and highlighting new features that I appreciate as a fan of the vintage examples. Secondly, I note areas where I think the guitar falls short of my expectations and how I think they could be improved, as well as remarking on several appointments that I’m “neutral” on, but some guitarist might find useful. ⬇ BUY A FENDER ULTRA II TELECASTER ⬇ Sweetwater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/nXE3Yo ⬇ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⬇ 00:00 - My Favorite Mistake (Neck PU) 00:48 - Introducing the Fender Ultra II Tele 01:23 - Disclosure 01:56 - Amps & Pedals Used 02:48 - What I LIKE # 1 03:45 - God Don’t Make Lonely Girls (Bridge PU) 04:30 - What I LIKE # 2 05:38 - Harder To Breathe (Bridge PU) 06:30 - What I LIKE # 3 07:08 - Noiseless vs. Vintage Telecaster Pickups 07:44 - What I LIKE # 4 07:53 - Cissy Strut (Middle PU) 08:20 - What I LIKE About The Guitar Pt. 5 09:40 - Stand By Me (Neck PU) 10:28 - What I DO NOT Like # 1 12:04 - I Wanna Be Your Lover (Middle PU) 12:44 - What I DO NOT Like # 2 13:44 - My Girl (Neck PU) 14:28 - Is it IMPOSSIBLE to Improve Upon a Classic Design? 14:50 - What I DO NOT Like # 3 15:55 - Mud On The Tires (Bridge PU) 16:30 - Other Notable Features 17:23 - Final Thoughts & Analysis 19:28 - Thanks for Watching 19:35 - Glory Days (Bridge PU) ⬇ JOIN MY SKOOL COMMUNITY ⬇ https://www.skool.com/vertex ⬇ JOIN MY PATREON COMMUNITY ⬇ https://www.patreon.com/rigdoctor ⬇ FOLLOW US ⬇ Instagram: https://instagram.com/vertexeffects Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@vertexeffects Facebook: https://facebook.com/vertexeffectsinc Website: https://vertexeffects.com ⬇BUY VERTEX PEDALS⬇ https://bit.ly/3kkZPOT ⬇PODCAST⬇ //apple// https://apple.co/36dSQzK //spotify// https://spoti.fi/2WGLku8 ⬇DIY BUFFER DIAGRAMS & TEMPLATES⬇ https://bit.ly/3gu02hU ⬇RECOMMENDED MATERIALS⬇ //buffers// https://bit.ly/3kpcFf0 //pedalboards// https://bit.ly/3B9DVFk //power supply// https://bit.ly/3B9aD9D //cables// https://bit.ly/3jktF7b //cable & pedal management// https://bit.ly/3mCJxUe //pedalboard tools// https://bit.ly/3B7AEGq CREDITS Host/Producer: Mason Marangella Videographer: Nico Sotomayor Video Editing: Andre Roca Audio Editing: Hunter Harrison *DISCLOSURE* Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) provided me with this guitar for the purposes of making this demonstrational video.
