Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster, Ebony Fingerboard, Ultraburst

The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster with Ebony Fingerboard in Ultraburst is a premium electric guitar designed for experienced players who demand the highest level of craftsmanship, tonal versatility and playability. Built in the USA and sitting at the top of Fender's current production lineup, this instrument combines advanced electronics with refined ergonomics to suit professionals and serious enthusiasts alike.

The guitar features a select alder body finished in gloss urethane with sculpted Ultra contours and a tapered neck heel for comfortable upper-register access. The quartersawn maple neck carries a Modern "D" profile with an ultra satin urethane finish, paired with an ebony fingerboard featuring a 10"–14" compound radius, ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots, white pearloid dot inlays and a Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut. A trio of Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage Strat® pickups covers the full tonal spectrum without hum, while the patented S-1™ switch adds additional pickup configurations beyond the standard 5-position blade switching. Hardware includes a 2-point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with polished stainless steel block saddles and cold rolled steel block, deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners (all short posts), locking strap buttons, a 1-ply gold anodized aluminium pickguard and aged white soft-touch knobs. Strings are Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel (.009–.042 gauges).

The 25.5" scale length and 22-fret ebony fingerboard deliver a responsive, articulate feel suited to a wide range of playing styles. The Bi-Flex™ truss rod allows precise neck adjustment, and the included deluxe moulded case provides secure transport and storage.

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.
