Select Alder Body with Ultra Contours and Sculpted Neck Heel
A resonant alder body provides classic Fender tone, while the tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard and ‘Ultra’ sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional.
Quartersawn Maple Modern ‘D’ Profile Neck
Slim with wide shoulders, the Modern ‘D’ neck profile works for any style of playing, while extra-strong quartersawn maple ensures unparalleled stability.
Compound Radius Quartersawn Maple Fingerboard, Ultra Rolled Edges, Luminlay Side Dots
Built for speed, comfort, and facility, the 10 to 14-inch compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages while ‘Ultra’ rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth ‘Ultra’ satin finish make the neck effortless to play.
Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat Pickups, Advanced Electronics and S-1 Switching
The Ultra Il Noiseless Vintage pickups are responsive and expressive, delivering definitive Strat sparkle for exceptional Fender tone without hum. Ultra Il Noiseless pickups feature an evolved architecture of specialized stacked coils with the top coil wound around Alnico V rod magnets to produce true single-coil Fender tone, and the isolated bottom coil calibrated to preserve the tone and simply reject hum. Fender’s patented S-1 switch adds the neck pickup in to any switch position, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.
American Ultra Synchronized Tremolo, Stainless Steel Saddles, Cold Rolled Steel Block, Pop-In Arm
This precision manufactured synchronized tremolo features a deluxe pop-in tremolo arm, polished stainless steel block saddles and a chamfered cold rolled steel block for endless sustain, precise attack and rock-solid tuning stability.
Short Post Locking Tuners
A high-performance feature, short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper and more consistent break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
