Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS Roasted
The Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS Roasted is a masterclass in modern guitar design, combining premium tonewoods, innovative electronics and exceptional playability for musicians who demand the very best from their instrument.
Crafted from select roasted ash, the lightweight body offers outstanding resonance, sustain and clarity, while Fender's Ultra body contours and sculpted neck heel provide supreme comfort and unrestricted access to the upper frets. The result is an instrument that feels as effortless to play as it sounds inspiring.
The roasted quartersawn maple neck features Fender's Modern "D" profile and silky Ultra Satin finish, delivering a fast, stable and incredibly comfortable playing experience. A premium rosewood fingerboard with a versatile 10"-14" compound radius is fitted with medium-jumbo frets, Ultra rolled edges, Luminlay® side dots and a Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut, ensuring exceptional feel and precision in any playing situation.
Offering remarkable tonal flexibility, the HSS pickup configuration combines two Custom Shop Texas Special Strat® single-coils with a powerful Seymour Duncan® '59™ humbucker in the bridge position. From sparkling cleans and blues-inspired warmth to aggressive rock tones and soaring lead sounds, this guitar covers an enormous sonic range with ease. Fender's innovative S-1™ switching system allows the humbucker to be split for authentic single-coil tones, providing even greater versatility at the flick of a switch.
Built for professional performance, the hardware package includes a 2-Point American Ultra synchronised tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel saddles, a cold-rolled steel tremolo block and short-post locking tuners for outstanding tuning stability and reliable operation on stage or in the studio.
