Fender Telecaster Ultra Artic Pearl S-1 Switch Faulty

The Artic Pearl color finish was immaculate and pristine all around. Plugged it in and it was dream to play, smooth warm sound that Telecaster's have bee come to be known for without any static or noise from the noiseless pickups is a plus. Now the bad part.,,, only one in all but it ruined it for me. The Tele Ultra comes with a S-switch to switch between parallel and series pickups and the switch was faulty. I wouldn't have made the rating so low if it was reasonable but it was crackling and super static noisy mid play when activated. I reached out to Fender and they were pretty good/great. They directed me to a list of authorized fender repair centers around me and how to proceed. Unfortunately for me they were all 30 mins away in a city like Detroit. Long story short, I end up returning because the repair time end up taking longer than the warranty period would allow. So I returned it hoping I get one without any issues!

I'm in love with this guitar.

Amazing guitar. I had a MIM telecaster, jazzmaster and strat, that I felt were pretty nice. Opening up this telecaster I was blown away at the quality I was missing. Everything is perfect, immaculate and deluxe. Got the cobalt blue on a great sale. No regrets. Shipping was fast. Came in deluxe case sealed in fender box inside shipping box. Will likely sell my mom telecaster and jazzmaster. I've been upgrading my stratocaster with all the deluxe features I discovered on this tele. Noiseless pickups, locking tuners, and locking Strap bolts will go on all my guitars. Quality of neck and body are unmatched though. Just beautiful. I love this guitar so much I play it every chance I get. Reawakened my fire for music. Can sell gaming consoles now too. Would buy again and would buy from Adorama again!

Excellent Guitar

I've been wanting a top end Telecaster for a while. When this went on sale I decided to get it. I got the Cobra Blue. Pictures don't do this guitar any justice. The color and the sparkle are truely amazing. This guitar is amazing to play. I have been a Gibson man for over 45 years and truely love them but this Tele is the cat's meow. Craftsmanship is EXCELLENT. Sound is EXCELLENT. When I play one of my Les Paul's it's like a Cadillac, when I play my Fender it's like a Corvette. Thanks Adorama for fast shipping and an excellent price.
