The Fender American Ultra Stratocaster sets a new, higher bar for production Strats. Over two years in development, it boasts redesigned noiseless pickups, a new sculpted neck heel, advanced Modern D profile neck, compound-radius maple fingerboard with a premium rolled-edge fret treatment and a range of eye-catching new finishes. If you love a great Strat, this is one you won't want to pass up.

Classic looks with a whole new feel

Not just minor tweaks, but serious updates make the Fender American Ultra Stratocaster a guitar that can take your playing to a whole new level. Rethought from the ground up, the American Ultra Strat starts with the classic contoured body and adds a Modern-D neck profile that is slimmer and faster. The newly developed satin finish gives the feel of raw wood. A 10-14" compound-radius maple fingerboard has a premium rolled-edge treatment for ultra-smooth chording and single-note playing. A newly designed, contoured neck joint makes upper fret access easier than ever.

Redesigned noiseless pickups and more

When it comes to electronics, the American Ultra Stratocaster features next-gen Ultra Noiseless pickups that were painstakingly designed to provide vintage Fender single-coil tone, without vintage single-coil hum. A push/pull S1 switch on the volume pot enables you to add the neck pickup to any of the first three switch positions, for expanded tonal possibilities. The American Ultra Stratocaster includes Fender's deluxe molded hardshell case.

Updating a legend is never easy

Fender's American Ultra instruments were more than two years in development. Intended from the beginning to push the envelope while remaining distinctively Fender. They are the most advanced production guitars Fender has ever made outside of the Custom Shop. Boasting new pickup designs, modern profile necks, compound-radius, premium rolled-edge fingerboards on the Strat and Tele models, and a revolutionary new neck joint, the entire series delivers an amazing playing experience and an expanded tonal range. If you were a Fender fan before, these will be love at first play, and if you weren't, these might be the guitars to change your mind.
