The Fender® American Ultra II Stratocaster® HSS features a body made from select alder with sculpted contours. The quartered maple neck features a modern D profile and a smooth Ultra Satin finish for effortless playing. The 10-14" compound radius ebony or quartered maple fingerboard features Ultra rolled edges, medium-sized frets, side Luminlay® dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® saddles. A tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours give you unparalleled access to the high register. Under the hood, a pair of Ultra II Noiseless™ Hot Strat® pickups paired with Haymaker™ humbuckers deliver everything from sweet, crystal clear cleans to blistering lead tones, all without the hum. The patented S-1™ switch cleverly splits the Haymaker for even more tonal versatility. Other road-ready features include a synchronised 2-point American Ultra tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, cold-rolled steel block, deluxe locking tuners, soft-touch knobs and a single-ply anodised aluminum pickguard.
