The American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS starts with a select Alder body, sculpted and contoured so it melts into you the second you strap it on. A Roasted Maple neck with Fender’s Modern “D” profile and silky Ultra Satin finish feels fast, comfy and ready to rip. You’ll be moving up and down the neck like it’s second nature!

Plus, with a 10"–14" compound radius fingerboard featuring Ultra rolled edges and medium jumbo frets, buttery bends and precision riffing are an absolute breeze. And with Luminlay side dots, you’ll find your way even on the darkest stages. Add a tapered neck heel, and you’ve basically got VIP access to the top frets.

Tone for days, and then some

Under the hood is where things get properly spicy. Two Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups serve up pristine, sparkling single-coil tone without any of the annoying hum, while the Haymaker Humbucker unleashes thick, muscular drive when you need to turn heads.

Feeling versatile? Hit the S‑1 switch to split that humbucker for even more tonal flavours. And when you need to push the front of your amp into glorious mayhem, the Ultra Blaster preamp dishes out a warm, punchy dB boost with a single flick.

Road‑ready hardware

A 2‑point American Ultra synchronized trem with a pop‑in arm, stainless steel block saddles and a cold‑rolled steel block, plus deluxe locking tuners, soft‑touch knobs and a sleek anodized aluminium pickguard all round out the package. They’re engineered to survive years of gigs, tours and studio sessions without breaking a sweat.

FEATURES

• Select Alder body with Ultra contours & sculpted neck heel: Delivers classic Fender balance and resonance, while the Ultra contours and sculpted heel make the guitar sit effortlessly against you and give you smoother access to the upper frets.
• Roasted Maple Modern “D” profile neck: Offers extra stability and a premium, broken‑in feel, while the Modern “D” carve gives you a fast, supportive grip that’s ideal for both technical lead work and chunky rhythm playing.
• 10"-14" compound radius fingerboard: Keeps chords comfortable down low and makes bends and fast runs silky‑smooth higher up the neck.
• Ultra rolled fingerboard edges: Add that “played‑in” comfort instantly, so it feels right at home the moment you pick it up.
• Versatile HSS pickup configuration: The Ultra II Noiseless singles deliver glassy, articulate Strat tones without the hum, while the Haymaker humbucker unlocks thick, high‑output punch for modern rock and lead tones.
• Ultra Blaster dB boost & S-1 switching: Kick in the Ultra Blaster for a warm, punchy gain boost that pushes leads to the front of the mix. And use the S‑1 switch to split the humbucker for even more tonal versatility.
• Short post locking tuners: Improve tuning stability, speed up string changes and create a sharper break angle over the nut for better sustain. They keep the guitar rock‑solid whether you're dive‑bombing or digging into heavy rhythm parts!
