The Fender® American Ultra II Stratocaster® HSS features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the roasted maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. The 10”-14” compound radius fingerboard features Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register.
Under the hood, a pair of Ultra II Noiseless™ Hot Strat® pickups paired with a Haymaker™ Humbucker deliver everything from sweet crystalline cleans to searing leads, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1™ switch cleverly splits the Haymaker for even more tonal variety, and the Ultra Blaster pre-amp provides a warm and punchy dB boost at the flick of a switch. Additional road-ready features include 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, cold rolled steel block, deluxe locking tuners, soft-touch knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
The American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to stratospheric new heights. For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility and limitless performance, American Ultra II delivers.
