Description
The American Ultra Stratocaster sits at the top of Fender’s domestic lineup, engineered for guitarists who notice every detail in how an instrument feels under their hands. It starts with the “Modern D” neck profile, shaped with Ultra rolled fingerboard edges so the neck feels broken-in right out of the box, plus a tapered heel that opens up unrestricted access to the upper frets.
On top of that neck sits a 10″-14″ compound-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. The radius flattens out as you move up the neck, so open chords stay comfortable near the nut while bends and lead lines up high stay accurate and buzz-free.
Tone comes from a set of Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups, voiced to capture classic Strat character while eliminating the 60-cycle hum that traditional single-coils are known for. Fender paired them with advanced wiring and an S-1 switch built into the volume knob, which lets you add the neck pickup into any switch position for tonal combinations well beyond the standard five-way setup.
Body-wise, the Ultra features sculpted rear contours that make long playing sessions easier on the ribs and forearm, finished here in a striking Ultraburst over the classic Stratocaster shape.
