Vintage Soul Meets Modern Comfort
The visual heart of every Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage Telecaster or Stratocaster is the Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish. Meant to reproduce the subtle aging and distinct look of an actual vintage guitar, these finishes age over time in a similar fashion to the beloved Fender guitars of old! Applied to the Ultra body contours and sculpted neck heel, each Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage guitar is meant to take the visual stance of a vintage guitar, while each player knows that they are wielding a very forward-facing instrument! With Quartersawn Modern “D” profile necks, stainless steel frets, and 10”-14” compound radius fingerboards with Ultra Rolled Edges, each of these guitars are designed to be the epitome of comfort for the modern-minded player!
Purely Vintage, Purely Modern
Each Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage Telecaster or Stratocaster pairs Pure Vintage pickups with Fender’s proprietary S-1 switch, giving each player a new dimension to their tonal arsenal:

- The Warthog Distortion goes right for the gut of all other distortions, offering incredible sonic range from a crystal-clear clean boost to scorched earth crunch.
- Those who know know Danish Pete. His signature overdrive and boost, The Dane, is the ace-in-the-hole for dynamic players who demand versatility.
- The Bunker Drive beefs up the famous Brown Source, increasing volume and adding a texture control while packing it all into a smaller, pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
- The Peacekeeper Low-Gain Overdrive pairs an active, post-gain control for treble and bass with a pre-gain mids/presence control for total tonal tailoring.
- ThorpyFx's first, the Gunshot Overdrive, puts every other overdrive in its crosshairs with a proprietary "gain engine" for maximum tonal range.
- The Field Marshall Fuzz improves on the legendary Big Cheese, shrinking the footprint, increasing the volume, and adding a tonestack bypass for more options.
- The Fallout Cloud Fuzz pays tribute to Triangle-era effects while simultaneously doing its best to blow them all out of the water.
- The Deep Oggin brings Lovetone's Dan Coggins back into the spotlight with 100%-analog chorus and vibrato circuitry, just like how it used to be.
- The Heavy Water isolates The Dane's desirable boost circuit into a small, standalone enclosure, adding a germanium diode-based boost in the second channel for switching or stacking, because why not?
- The third installment in ThorpyFx's "Vintage Reimagined" Series, the Veteran Si Vintage Fuzz and Boost squeezes silicon-based Smiley- and Rangemaster-style circuitry into one exclosure.
- Thorpy promotes the OTC-201 compressor to create the Fat General, a pedalboard tank, adding balance and sustain to your signal without the extra noise.
- The Team Medic Buffer, EQ, Boost, and Boost + offers tonal first aid for all, equally suited to the electric guitar as it is to bass and more.
- Also produced in collaboration with Dan Coggins, the Camoflange Flanger is another all-analog blast from the past, with modern functionality making it more versatile than any vintage model.
