The Fender American Ultra Stratocaster HSS packs a plethora of contemporary appointments that make it an exceptional instrument for the modern guitarist. This sleek Strat features an HSS pickup configuration with a hot Ultra Double Tap humbucker in the bridge position and Ultra Noiseless single coils in the neck and middle, providing a huge tonal range perfect for any musical genre. This limited-edition Strat showcases a stunning Tiger's Eye maple top on a lightweight alder body with contoured edges for hours of playing comfort. With the ergonomic modern D-shaped maple neck and compound radius rosewood fingerboard, you'll find this Strat to be one of the most comfortable and playable guitars you've ever wrapped your hands around.
Expanded Tonal Palette With Diverse Pickup Configuration
The American Ultra Strat HSS broadens the tonal spectrum of a traditional Stratocaster, starting with the powerful Ultra Double Tap humbucking bridge pickup. From warm, throaty leads to aggressive distorted tones, this pickup has all the richness and bite you need. The Ultra Noiseless pickups in the neck and middle positions retain all the chime and quack of traditional single coils, just without the hum. And, with the S-1 switch, you can add the neck pickup into any position for even more tonal options. The advanced electronics extend even further, with a treble bleed circuit that keeps your highs crisp when rolling back the volume.
Superb Playability With Modern D Neck Profile
Shredders will fall in love with the feel of the American Ultra Strat HSS. Its Modern D neck profile is supremely comfortable, with an asymmetrical shape that fills your hand. Combined with the smoothly rolled fingerboard edges, you'll be able to play at speed for hours without fatigue. The compound radius fingerboard transitions from a tight 9.5" radius at the nut to a fast 14" at the highest frets for easy chording as well as bend-friendly soloing. Medium-jumbo nickel silver frets give you the height you need for complex techniques while providing buttery smooth playability.
Resonant Tone With Premium Woods
The Tiger's Eye maple top isn't just for looks—it adds snap and clarity to the American Ultra Strat's tone. The alder body provides a balanced foundation with versatile character emphasizing lows and low-mids. Together they create a resonant voice with piano-like sustain perfect for the needs of modern guitarists. The modern forearm and rear contours offer playing comfort while also permitting unimpeded resonance and sustain.
Rock-Solid Performance With Premium Components
Fender went all-out with the appointments on the American Ultra series. The locking tuners make tuning frustration a thing of the past. The two-point tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles allows for super smooth tremolo action and excellent tuning stability. The bone nut provides outstanding sustain and resonance when playing up the neck. And the included premium molded hardshell case keeps your investment protected on the road or at home. Every detail has been considered to make this an exceptional instrument built for discerning players.
