Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS Aurora, Roasted Maple Fingerboard

Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS Aurora Roasted Maple Fingerboard

Built for players who demand the very best, the American Ultra II series represents Fenders most advanced range of guitars and basses. Combining premium materials, precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design, American Ultra II instruments are engineered to deliver exceptional performance while standing the test of time.

The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS features a select alder body with sculpted Ultra contours and a tapered neck heel for effortless access to the upper frets. A roasted maple neck with a Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish offers outstanding comfort, while the 1014 compound-radius fingerboard features Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay side dots and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut for stability and precision.

A powerful pickup configuration pairs two Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat single coils with a Haymaker humbucker, delivering everything from sparkling cleans to high-output lead tones without unwanted noise. Fenders patented S-1 switching splits the humbucker for added versatility, while the onboard Ultra Blaster preamp provides a punchy volume boost at the flick of a switch. Additional premium appointments include a 2-point American Ultra synchronised tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, a cold-rolled steel tremolo block and deluxe locking tuners.

Blending iconic Stratocaster style with forward-thinking performance features, the American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS is built for players who require flawless tone, limitless versatility and uncompromising playability.
