From the moment you pick it up, the Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster delivers an incredibly smooth and intuitive playing experience. At the heart of this lies a carefully crafted quartersawn maple neck with a Modern “D” profile, designed to strike the perfect balance between substantial feel and fast action. The Ultra Satin urethane finish on the back of the neck eliminates friction and stickiness, maintaining maximum comfortability through every playing session. Paired with a 10"-14" compound radius ebony fingerboard, the neck invites confident movement across the entire range, ideal for complex chord shapes, quick shifts, and soaring solos. Medium jumbo frets offer a solid grip for bending and vibrato, while Ultra rolled fingerboard edges enhance comfort during extended play.
Underneath its striking Solar Flare finish, the Ultra II Stratocaster HSS hides a powerful and versatile electronic setup. At the bridge, a robust Haymaker humbucker delivers the heat for driven rock tones and lead parts with ample output and thick midrange character. Complementing this are a pair of Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups in the middle and neck positions, offering iconic Strat clarity and sparkle without any unwanted hum or buzz. This pickup configuration covers a vast sonic territory—from pristine cleans and articulate rhythm tones to full-throttle overdrive—all while remaining dead silent. Adding to the tonal arsenal is Fender’s proprietary S-1 switch, located on the master volume control, which coil-splits the Haymaker humbucker for extra flexibility and nuanced expression.
This modern Strat gives you the best of the best when it comes to durability and reliability - making it the perfect gigging companion. A 2-point American Ultra synchronised tremolo system offers smooth pitch modulation and rock-solid return to pitch, thanks to its polished stainless steel block saddles and cold rolled steel block. You can dive into aggressive bends or add subtle shimmer with confidence, knowing the tremolo responds consistently without compromising tuning. Deluxe short-post locking tuners ensure tuning stability and make string changes quick and hassle-free, while the Ultra string guide improves tension balance across the headstock. Locking strap buttons, soft-touch control knobs, and a robust 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate further reinforce the guitar’s gig-ready credentials, allowing you to focus entirely on your performance.
While the Ultra II Stratocaster embraces modern enhancements, it still stays true to the unmistakable identity of the Strat. The sculpted alder body retains the classic contours that have made the Stratocaster a legend, but with refined curves and a tapered neck heel that offer improved upper-fret access and ergonomic comfort. The bold Solar Flare gloss finish adds a fresh visual punch, complemented by a sleek 1-ply black anodised aluminium pickguard and matching black pickup covers, knobs, and switch tip. Every visual element has been considered to reflect the guitar’s premium status and cutting-edge feel. If you're looking for a Strat that balances vintage heritage with modern sophistication, the American Ultra II is an inspired evolution of a timeless classic.
