Description
The American Ultra Stratocaster sits at the top of Fender’s domestic lineup, engineered for guitarists who won’t settle for anything less than total precision. This Cobra Blue example pairs a maple fingerboard with a body shaped for real-world comfort, thanks to sculpted rear contours that tuck neatly against your torso during long sessions.
Fender reworked the neck with a “Modern D” profile and Ultra rolled fingerboard edges, so your hand glides rather than catches as you move up and down the neck. A tapered heel clears the way for those upper-fret bends and solos that used to feel like a stretch. Underneath your fingers, a compound-radius fingerboard runs from 10″ near the nut to 14″ at the upper frets, flattening out as you climb so chords stay comfortable low and single-note runs stay accurate high up. 22 medium-jumbo frets round out the fast, low-effort feel.
Tone comes from a set of Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups, voiced to capture classic Strat character while eliminating the 60-cycle hum that’s long been the trade-off with single-coils. An S-1 switch built into the controls lets you blend the neck pickup into any switch position, opening up combinations beyond the standard five.
