Description
The American Ultra Stratocaster HSS sits at the top of Fender’s American-made lineup, engineered for guitarists who won’t settle for “good enough” in feel or sound. It starts with the “Modern D” neck profile, shaped for a comfortable grip that holds up through long sets, with Ultra rolled fingerboard edges smoothing out the transition between neck and fretboard so your hand glides rather than catches.
A tapered neck heel opens up access to the upper frets, letting solos reach into the highest register without a fight. The compound-radius rosewood fingerboard runs from 10″ at the nut to 14″ near the body, flattening out as you climb – this means chords feel natural down low while bends and fast lead lines stay accurate up high. Twenty-two medium-jumbo frets give you plenty of real estate to work with.
Tone-wise, this HSS configuration combines Ultra Noiseless Hot single-coils with an Ultra Double Tap humbucking pickup in the bridge, giving you everything from glassy Strat chime to thicker, humbucker-driven crunch – all without the 60-cycle hum that plagues traditional single-coils. Advanced wiring adds even more flexibility to dial in your exact sound.
The body itself has been sculpted with rear contours that aren’t just cosmetic – they shape themselves to your playing posture, making this a guitar you can play for hours without fatigue. Finished in Ultraburst, it’s a Stratocaster built for players chasing the outer edges of tone and technique.
