Fender American Ultra II Meteora EB Texas Tea

Modern humbucker power with plenty of control

The Fender American Ultra II Meteora EB Texas Tea suits players who want a modern Fender that can move from big clean sounds to proper crunch. The select alder body keeps the response balanced, but the Haymaker humbuckers give it more weight and push than a typical single-coil Fender, which makes it a strong fit for players covering everything from cleaner layered parts through to heavier rhythm work and lead playing.

The quartersawn maple neck has Fender’s Modern D profile, so it feels slim enough to move quickly on but still has a bit of shoulder to hold onto. The ebony fingerboard gives fretting a firmer, faster feel than rosewood, and the 10"–14" compound radius makes the guitar feel comfortable for chords down low while keeping bends and faster lines easy higher up. Rolled edges, the satin neck finish, and the sculpted heel all lean into that same idea of making the guitar feel smooth and quick rather than stiff.

The Haymaker humbuckers cover a lot of ground. You’ve got full humbucker weight when you want it, but the S-1 coil split and bass cut control give you more ways to pull the sound back, tighten the low end, or get a more open voice without swapping guitars. The string-through hardtail bridge, locking tuners, and Graph Tech TUSQ nut keep the Meteora feeling stable and straightforward.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the American Ultra II Meteora suits players who want modern humbucker power, cleaner note separation, and enough switching options to cover a full set without feeling boxed in.
