As you’d expect to find on a Fender, the body of the guitar is made from Alder, and it’s fitted with a 4 bolt Maple neck with either a Maple or Ebony fingerboard. To aid performance and playability, the rear of the body features newly designed tapered contouring around the neck joint, which massively improves comfort and ease of access when playing at the highest frets. The neck features Fender’s unique modern D profile and has a smooth satin finish, so it feels slim and very comfortable to play, but still rounded and very Strat-like, and the fingerboard is fitted with 22 Medium Jumbo frets and has rolled edges to improve comfort.
Now whereas most Fenders feature a 9.5 inch fingerboard radius, or a more rounded 7.25 inches on vintage models, the American Ultra II's has a more modern compound radius, going from a slightly less rounded 10 inches at the nut to a much flatter 14 inch radius at the higher frets, so overall, the neck feels really speedy, accurate and effortless to play.
In terms of hardware, in keeping with the modern, performance based ethos of the American Ultra, there’s a set of deluxe locking tuners, making restringing quick and easy. A new Graphtech TUSQ nut is fitted for maximum string vibration transfer, and down at the other end of the guitars 25.5 scale length, there’s a really smooth, accurate 2 point deluxe synchronised tremolo with a push in trem arm on the strat too.
Under the hood, a pair of Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups paired with a Haymaker Humbucker deliver everything from sweet crystalline cleans to searing leads, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1 switch cleverly splits the Haymaker for even more tonal variety. Additional road-ready features include 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, cold rolled steel block, deluxe locking tuners, soft-touch knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
Ascetically, there’s a wide range of new gloss polyurethane finishes to choose from including these gorgeous Solar Flare & Avalanche finishes. The guitars are fitted with anodised aluminium pickguiards which when combined with the Gold Fender logo, pearloid dot inlays and darker tinted necks and headstocks, gives the American Ultra a slightly more traditional vibe to it, offering all the modern playability upgrades, but with classic Strat looks. Finally, as you’d expect, the guitar comes supplied with a premium quality, bombproof Fender moulded case to keep it safe when you’re not playing it!
