Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS, Ebony Fingerboard, Texas Tea

The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS in Texas Tea is a premium electric guitar built for serious players seeking the highest level of craftsmanship and performance. Featuring a select alder body, an ebony fingerboard, and a Haymaker Humbucker paired with two Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups, this instrument delivers exceptional tonal range and playability. It is well suited to gigging musicians and studio players who require a versatile, road-ready instrument with modern appointments and classic Stratocaster style.

The guitar features a quartersawn maple neck with a Modern D profile and Ultra Satin finish, topped with an ebony fingerboard with a 10" to 14" compound radius, Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay side dots, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut. The sculpted body contours and tapered neck heel provide comfortable access to the upper frets. Electronics are managed through a 5-position blade switch and a master volume with a patented S-1 switch that coil-splits the Haymaker Humbucker for additional tonal options. Hardware includes a 2-point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with polished stainless steel block saddles, a cold rolled steel block, a pop-in arm, and deluxe locking tuners. The pickguard is a 1-ply silver anodized aluminium, and hardware is finished in nickel/chrome.

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.
