Designed for players who demand the best, the American Ultra II series is our most advanced series of instruments. American Ultra II guitars and basses feature premium materials, precision craftsmanship, and cutting-edge design for instruments that push the state of the art and stand the test of time.
The Fender® American Ultra II Stratocaster® features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and a smooth Ultra Satin finish. The 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboards in ebony or quartersawn maple feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots, and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow for unparalleled access to the upper register.
Under the hood, a trio of Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage Strat® pickups delivers everything from sweet, crystalline clean tones to scorching lead sounds, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1™ switch intelligently unlocks additional pickup configurations for even more tonal variety. Other road-ready features include a 2-point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel saddles, a cold-rolled steel block, deluxe locking tuners, soft-touch knobs, and a 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
The American Ultra II Stratocaster infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to new, stratospheric heights. For players who demand pristine sound, infinite versatility, and limitless performance, the American Ultra II delivers.
