Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster – A High-Performance Evolution of an Icon

The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster redefines modern playability, tone, and craftsmanship while staying true to the vintage soul of the Stratocaster. Designed for performing musicians and tone purists alike, this high-performance electric guitar features a sculpted alder body, Ultra II Noiseless Vintage pickups, and an advanced neck profile for unparalleled comfort and effortless upper-fret access. Whether you're laying down chiming cleans, smooth blues licks, or searing rock solos, the Ultra II Stratocaster is built for precision, speed, and ultimate expression.

Sleek, Comfortable Playability with a Quartersawn Maple Neck

The Modern D-profile quartersawn maple neck delivers a fast, comfortable feel, enhanced by a compound-radius fingerboard that transitions from 10 inches at the low frets to 14 inches at the high frets. This design allows for smooth chording in the lower register while ensuring seamless multi-step bends in the upper register without fret-out. Ultra Rolled fingerboard edges and an Ultra Satin neck finish provide an effortless, frictionless playing experience.

Vintage Strat Tones Without the Hum

Equipped with Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups, this Stratocaster delivers the chiming highs, full-bodied lows, and signature quack of a classic Strat—without any unwanted hum. The Fender S-1 switching system adds versatility, injecting the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2, unlocking a full three-pickup configuration or a Tele-style neck/bridge pairing for expanded tonal possibilities.

Unrestricted Access to All 22 Frets

The deep neck joint contour and sculpted heel provide limitless access to all 22 frets, making upper-register soloing effortless. No more hand twisting or awkward positioning—just smooth transitions from the lowest to the highest frets.

Advanced Fender Hardware for Ultimate Performance

The 2-point American Ultra Synchronized tremolo features polished stainless steel block saddles and a cold-rolled steel block, offering superior tuning stability, sustain, and precise pitch control. Short-post locking tuners ensure quick string changes and rock-solid tuning, while the Luminlay side dots keep you on track—even in the darkest stage settings.
