Product Description
The American Ultra series encompasses Fender's most advanced instruments to date. Designed for modern guitarists that seek ultimate performance, precision and tone, these contemporary models go above and beyond previous top-of-the-range Fender series' without straying too far from their iconic formulas.
Equipped with the typical features you'd expect on a Stratocaster, the Fender American Ultra Strat HSS does however boast a bunch of 21 Century refinements to meet the demands of today's players. Fitted with new Ultra Noiseless pickups, a 2-Point Deluxe Synchronized tremolo and Deluxe Locking tuners, the Fender American Ultra Strat also sports a comfortable Modern "D" neck profile with a slippery Satin finish and rolled fingerboard edges - guaranteeing superb playability.
Construction
Fender's classic tonewood combinations have been used to construct the American Ultra Strat HSS. Featuring an Alder body, this timeless medium-weight material ensures tight and punchy lows with vibrant mids and articulate highs; a great tonal foundation for the pickups.
The Alder body is paired with a bolt-on Maple neck that further accentuates the top-end, achieving that distinctive Strat "snap". This particular American Ultra model, however, features a silky smooth Rosewood fingerboard that adds some crucial mid-range warmth - akin to a '60s Strat. A noteworthy update is the tapered neck heel, which allows easy access to the higher register.
Fitted with 22 Medium Jumbo frets that offer a super-modern and controllable feel, the fingerboard also follows an ergonomic 10" to 14" compound radius. Rounded at the lower end of the neck to make chords easier to fret, this radius flattens out the higher you go; making fast passages much easier to play. This also helps to prevent notes from fretting out when performing string bends, which is an issue that older Strats are more prone to.
Electronics & Hardware
The most noteworthy aspect of the Fender American Ultra Strat HSS is its pickups. Installed with a pair of Fender's new Ultra Noiseless Vintage single-coils and a beefy Ultra Double Tap bridge humbucker, these pickups deliver a mix of modern and old-school Strat sounds - without any hum. Making this guitar usable with overdrive and distortion, the American Ultra Strat HSS is a highly-versatile instrument that can offer a diverse range of tones, especially with the S-1 switch that unlocks even more pickup combinations.
While the flexible electronics will appeal strongly to modern players, the hardware also isn't far behind when it comes to innovation and functionality. Fitted with a 2-Point Deluxe Synchronized tremolo, this particular bridge offers a smooth action for expressive vibrato, while ensuring superior tuning stability with its low-friction design. Combined with the set of Deluxe Locking tuners at the headstock, the Fender American Ultra Stratocaster HSS is an incredibly reliable and road-ready guitar. An official Fender hard case comes included.
