A '60s Strat spirit, reinterpreted in "Ultra Luxe"

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster HSS embodies an approach where the aesthetics and sonic DNA of '60s Strats meet modern performance-oriented choices. It retains iconic codes (Stratocaster format, "vintage" feel, clear and expressive tones) while benefiting from optimizations designed for comfort, upper fret access, and playing consistency on a decidedly high-end platform.

For which guitarists and styles?

This HSS Stratocaster is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a stage and studio guitar capable of switching between genres without compromise. The single-coils are perfect for styles where articulation and dynamics are central (pop, funk, blues, indie, soul), while the bridge humbucker provides the necessary punch for modern rock, heavy riffs, and more saturated leads, all while maintaining Strat ergonomics.

The sound

The alder body is a Fender classic: balanced, with present mids, clear highs, and clean lows, ideal for maintaining definition in chords and pick playing. The HSS configuration significantly broadens the spectrum: the Pure Vintage '61 deliver the typical "60s" Strat sound (precise attack, clarity, brightness, and beautiful in-between positions), while the Haymaker Humbucker boosts output and thickness at the bridge for fuller overdrives. The setup is complemented by a dedicated tone control for the bridge pickup and an S-1 switch (Custom Double Tap) to expand voicing options and quickly switch between tones.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes equipped with Fender USA 250L strings (.009-.042), allowing you to keep this gauge to preserve the original feel (flexibility, easy bends, comfortable vibrato). It is supplied with a Deluxe hard case, ideal for daily transport and protection.
