Fender Stratocaster American Ultra II EB Ultraburst

American Ultra II: The Modern Evolution of the High-End Stratocaster

This Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster follows the lineage of Strats designed for demanding musicians: an iconic base enhanced with comfort improvements, tuning stability, and upgraded electronics. The Ultraburst finish, "Ultra" ergonomics (bevels and sculpted heel), and a decidedly modern approach (Noiseless pickups, S-1 switch, locking tuners) make it a Strat built for both stage and studio.

Who is it for, and what styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a versatile, reliable, and quiet American Stratocaster. Its Strat DNA is perfectly suited for blues, funk, pop, rock, indie, and more modern genres where precision and noise-free performance make a difference, especially with effects, moderate to high gain, and studio signal chains.

Sound

The selected alder body provides a typical Fender balance: present mids, clear highs, and firm lows, ideal for preserving the attack and definition of a Strat. The Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups deliver the expected "glassy" and dynamic character of single coils while greatly reducing unwanted noise-a real plus with pedals and on brightly lit stages. The 5-position selector covers traditional sounds (snappy bridge, precise middle, warm and singing neck), while the S-1 expands the palette by adding the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2 for thicker, more enveloping textures. The 2-point tremolo, cold-rolled steel block, and polished stainless steel saddles contribute to a more stable response, with good sustain feel and effective tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay within original specifications, prefer electric string sets .009-.042 (nickel plated steel type). A good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable is obviously recommended to fully benefit from the electronics and playing nuances. A hard case is not essential here, as the guitar comes with a Deluxe Molded Case.
