A Modern Stratocaster Designed for the Stage

This American Ultra II Stratocaster continues the line of Fender "performance" Strat models: a traditional base (Stratocaster shape, SSS configuration) enhanced with improvements in comfort, tuning stability, and electronics. The Solar Flare finish and the choices in tonewoods and hardware make it an electric guitar built for musicians seeking a highly versatile Strat without compromising ergonomics.

For Which Guitarists and Styles

Thanks to its fast neck, optimized access to the upper frets, and Noiseless pickups, this Fender is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for a reliable Stratocaster for rehearsal, studio, and live performance. It excels in pop, rock, funk, blues, and all genres where the typical Strat articulation is essential, with a clear advantage when playing with higher gain or stage lighting sensitive to noise.

Sound

The selected alder body provides a classic Fender balance: present mids, clear highs, and firm lows, ideal for maintaining definition in chords as well as single-note lines. The Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups retain the expected snap and dynamics of single-coils while greatly reducing hum and interference, a real asset when using compressors, overdrives, or complex electrical setups. The 5-position selector covers standard tones (positions 2 and 4 are very "quack"), while the S-1 switch adds the neck pickup to positions 1 and 2 to expand the palette without changing your playing landmarks.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar comes with a Deluxe Molded Case. It is factory-strung with Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel 009-042 strings: you can keep this gauge to preserve the feel and tremolo balance, or stay with the same type of strings to maintain the characteristic response and snap.
