Built for players boldly seeking the best, American Ultra II is our most advanced series of instruments. American Ultra II guitars and basses feature premium materials, precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design for instruments that both advance the state-of-the-art and stand the test of time.

Here we have a special one: created as an exclusive for independet dealers, this Limited Edition Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS is quite the stunner. We just received it, and rushed it to photography to properly show the unique wood grain (many that are out there are just stock images - each guitar is different).

Also, this one is super light, coming in at just 6.4 lbs!

The Limited Edition Fender® American Ultra II Stratocaster® HSS Roasted features a select roasted ash body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the roasted quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Rosewood 10”-14” compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register.

Under the hood, a pair of Custom Shop Texas Special Strat® pickups paired with a Seymour Duncan® '59™ Humbucker deliver everything from sweet crystalline cleans to searing leads. Our patented S-1™ switch splits the '59 Humbucker for even more tonal variety. Additional road-ready features include 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, cold rolled steel block, deluxe locking tuners, soft-touch knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.

The Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to stratospheric new heights. For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility and limitless performance, American Ultra II delivers.
