Description
The American Ultra Stratocaster HSS sits at the top of Fender’s domestic lineup, built for guitarists who want the classic Strat shape reworked with modern playability in mind. The “Modern D” neck profile is carved for comfort under the hand, and Fender rolled the fingerboard edges so it feels broken-in right out of the case. A tapered neck heel opens up access to the upper frets, making those dive-up bends and lead lines much easier to reach.
Underneath your fingers is a compound-radius maple fingerboard that shifts from 10″ at the nut to 14″ up top, so open chords stay comfortable while high-fret soloing stays fast and buzz-free across all 22 medium-jumbo frets.
Tone-wise, this HSS configuration pairs Ultra Noiseless Hot single-coils with an Ultra Double Tap humbucker in the bridge, giving you everything from glassy Strat chime to pushed humbucker grit — all without the 60-cycle hum older single-coils are known for. Expanded wiring options let you dig deeper into the pickup combinations than a standard five-way switch would normally allow.
Fender also sculpted the back of the body with contours that ease into your ribs and forearm, so long sessions feel less like work. Finished in Texas Tea, this is a Strat built to reward serious players who notice the details.
