Description

The Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Roasted Ash Stratocaster in Natural takes the classic Strat recipe and refines it into a sleek, modern performance machine. With a lightweight roasted ash body, roasted quartersawn maple neck and a trio of Custom Shop Texas Special single coils, it is built for players who want timeless Strat character with cutting-edge feel and versatility. Every detail has been considered for serious stage and studio work. Ultra sculpted body contours, a tapered neck heel and a fast compound-radius fingerboard make it effortless to play right up to the 22nd fret, while advanced electronics and S-1 switching unlock a huge palette of tones at the flick of a switch. This is a Stratocaster that looks classic, feels luxurious and responds instantly to every nuance of your playing. Roasted Ash Body with Ultra Contours The select roasted ash body not only looks stunning in its Natural finish, it also offers a lively, articulate acoustic response with plenty of snap and clarity. Fender’s Ultra body contours and sculpted neck heel create a noticeably more ergonomic feel, hugging closer to the player and making long sets more comfortable. Upper fret access is dramatically improved, so intricate leads and high-register bends feel completely unhindered. Roasted Quartersawn Maple Modern D Neck The roasted quartersawn maple neck is engineered for stability, resonance and a silky playing feel. The Modern D profile fills the hand without feeling bulky, while the Ultra Satin urethane finish stays smooth and fast under your palm, even under hot stage lights. Roasting the maple helps enhance rigidity and resistance to environmental changes, so your neck feels consistent gig after gig. Compound Radius Fingerboard with Premium Details A 10 to 14 inch compound radius roasted maple fingerboard gives you the best of both worlds: a comfortable curve for chords down low that gradually flattens out for wide bends and low, buzz-free action higher up. Ultra rolled fingerboard edges make the neck feel played-in from day one, while medium jumbo frets provide a solid, confident platform for expressive vibrato. Luminlay side dots keep you oriented on dark stages, and the Graph Tech TUSQ nut promotes clear, consistent tuning and sustain. Custom Shop Texas Special Pickups with S-1 Switching Loaded with three Custom Shop Texas Special Strat single coils, this guitar delivers everything from glassy, crystalline cleans to punchy, overwound blues and rock tones. The standard 5-way switch covers all the classic Strat sounds, while the S-1 switch adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2 for thicker, more powerful voices. Whether you need subtle sparkle, funky quack or searing leads that cut through a dense mix, the American Ultra II Stratocaster has it covered. Pro-Level Hardware and Tremolo System The 2-point American Ultra synchronised tremolo offers smooth, precise pitch control with excellent tuning stability. Polished stainless steel block saddles feel comfortable under the hand and contribute to a clear, focused attack, while the cold rolled steel block enhances sustain and punch. Deluxe locking tuners with short posts make string changes quick and keep your tuning solid, and the 1-ply black anodised aluminium pickguard adds a sleek, modern aesthetic with rugged durability.
