Fender Stratocaster American Ultra II HSS EB Texas Tea

An American Stratocaster Designed for Modern Playing (American Ultra II Series)

This American Ultra II Stratocaster continues the tradition of USA Stratocasters focused on "performance": meticulous finishes, optimized ergonomics, and up-to-date electronics. With its HSS configuration and comfort details (sculpted heel, refined contours), it clearly targets guitarists who want a modern, precise Strat ready for both stage and studio.

Who Is This HSS Strat For?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an electric guitar capable of seamlessly switching styles without compromise: pop, funk, blues, rock, hard rock, fusion, and modern tones. The bridge humbucker adds body and saturation, while the two noiseless single-coils preserve the Strat spirit (attack, definition) by minimizing interference, especially useful live and in home studios.

The Sound

The selected alder body delivers a typically "Strat" balance: clear mids, firm lows, and present highs, with great pick attack dynamics. The quarter-sawn maple neck enhances response and stability, and the ebony fingerboard provides a faster feel under the fingers, with a sharp attack and pronounced definition, appreciated in both clean and high-gain settings.

On the electronics side, the Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups at the neck and middle offer precise clear tones and very usable intermediate positions while maintaining low noise levels. The Haymaker Humbucker at the bridge adds punch and thickness for riffs and solos. The S-1 switch integrated into the volume knob enables coil-splitting of the humbucker, handy for switching to thinner, single-coil-style textures on demand without changing guitars.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes factory-strung with Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel .009-.042: to maintain feel and setup balance, it's best to replace with the same gauge. A Deluxe Molded Case is included, ideal for daily transport and protection.
