Built for players boldly seeking the best, American Ultra II is our most advanced series of instruments. American Ultra II guitars and basses feature premium materials, precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design for instruments that both advance the state-of-the-art and stand the test of time.

The Fender® American Ultra II Stratocaster® features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Ebony or quartersawn maple 10”-14” compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register.

Under the hood, a trio of Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage Strat® pickups deliver everything from sweet crystalline cleans to searing leads, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1™ switch cleverly unlocks additional pickup configurations for even more tonal variety. Additional road-ready features include 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, cold rolled steel block, deluxe locking tuners, soft-touch knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.

The American Ultra II Stratocaster infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to stratospheric new heights. For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility and limitless performance, American Ultra II delivers.

Features:

  • Select Alder Body with Ultra Contours and Sculpted Neck Heel
  • Quartersawn Maple Modern “D” Profile Neck
  • 10"-14" Compound Radius Ebony or Quartersawn Maple Fingerboard with Ultra Rolled Edges and Luminlay Side Dots
  • Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage Strat® Pickups, Advanced Electronics and S-1™ Switching
  • 2-Point American Ultra Synchronized Tremolo with Polished Stainless Steel Block Saddles, Cold Rolled Steel Block and Pop-In Arm
  • Short Post Locking Tuners

SELECT ALDER BODY WITH ULTRA CONTOURS AND SCULPTED NECK HEEL
A resonant alder body provides classic Fender tone, while the tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard and “Ultra” sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional.

QUARTERSAWN MAPLE MODERN “D” PROFILE NECK
Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing, while extra-strong quartersawn maple ensures unparalleled stability.

COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY OR QUARTERSAWN MAPLE FINGERBOARD, ULTRA ROLLED EDGES, LUMINLAY SIDE DOTS
Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages while “Ultra” rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth “Ultra” satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

ULTRA II NOISELESS™ VINTAGE STRAT® PICKUPS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS AND S-1™ SWITCHING
The Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage pickups are responsive and expressive, delivering definitive Strat® sparkle for exceptional Fender tone without hum. Ultra II Noiseless™ pickups feature an evolved architecture of specialized stacked coils with the top coil wound around Alnico V rod magnets to produce true single-coil Fender tone, and the isolated bottom coil calibrated to preserve the tone and simply reject hum. Our patented S-1™ switch adds the neck pickup in to any switch position, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.

AMERICAN ULTRA SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO, STAINLESS STEEL SADDLES, COLD ROLLED STEEL BLOCK, POP-IN ARM
This precision manufactured synchronized tremolo features a deluxe pop-in tremolo arm, polished stainless steel block saddles and a chamfered cold rolled steel block for endless sustain, precise attack and rock-solid tuning stability.

SHORT POST LOCKING TUNERS
A high-performance feature, short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper and more consistent break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.

- We have received -numerous- false claims by a customer's local "luthier" (aka Youtube specialist) that a guitar has a bad neck set, has a warped neck, broken truss rod, looks at them funny, or is just generally not good to them because they want to sell them their own service work or guitar. These claims will not be considered valid unless an authorized manufacturer's representee has evaluated the instrument.  Once the instrument is altered by another "luthier", the instrument is considered altered and void of return.

- All damages incurred during shipment will be the responsibility of the shipping company which delivered the item (USPS or UPS). A claim will be filed immediately and claim number confirmation issued to the recipient. The recipient will hold on to the damaged item and all of its packing contents / materials until the claim has been resolved in one of the following manners: the item is picked up by the shipping company for salvage and the recipient will then be reimbursed in full; the claim is rejected at which point we will seek further evidence to appeal and issue refund upon the case outcome; the shipping company advises us the damages are not their responsibility (at which point we will appeal and seek return of the damaged item for refund / replacement). Any attempt to return the item immediately and not follow these procedure voids any refund / return remedies. Please be advised that all of our outgoing packaging is high-definition video-recorded to avoid claims of damages occurring prior to shipment

- Custom Shop guitar purchases will be exempt of the restocking fee if they are returned complete in the exact condition they were sent: i.e. in its original sold condition.  The return must include the original box, all factory paperwork / case candy, pickguard film, cables, tools, etc.  The buyer will only be responsible for the shipping costs to and from.
