Product Description

The Strat, Evolved

This isn’t just another Stratocaster. This is the Fender American Ultra II, a guitar built for players who demand precision, performance, and a massive spectrum of tones. From the stunning, almost-black shimmer of the Texas Tea finish to the player-centric contours, every detail is engineered for a premium experience. It’s a modern classic, packing all the vibe you love with next-gen features that will inspire you to push your playing further.

The Fastest Neck in the West

Get ready to fly. The quartersawn maple neck boasts a Modern “D” profile that feels substantial yet incredibly fast. Combined with a compound 10″ to 14″ radius ebony fingerboard and a satin urethane finish, it offers a buttery-smooth playing surface that’s pure joy for both complex chording and effortless string bending. The sculpted neck heel gives you unparalleled access to the upper frets, so nothing holds you back.

A Universe of Tone

Versatility is the name of the game. The Ultra II HSS is loaded with a powerful Haymaker™ humbucker in the bridge and two Ultra II Noiseless™ Hot Strat® single-coils in the middle and neck. The result is a sonic powerhouse that can do it all. Go from searing, high-gain punch to classic, glassy Strat quack with zero hum. Need a true single-coil bridge tone? Just hit the S-1™ switch on the volume knob to coil-split the humbucker for authentic, spanky single-coil sounds.

Built to Perform

This Strat is a certified workhorse. From the Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut and locking tuners to the 2-point synchronized tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block, every component ensures rock-solid tuning stability and incredible resonance. Plus, with Luminlay® side dots, you’ll never lose your place on a dark stage. It’s a professional-grade instrument, ready for the studio, the stage, and anywhere in between.

Versatility

  • The noiseless pickups provide a perfect platform for pedals, maintaining clarity even with heavy fuzz or drive.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The S-1 Switch is a push-button located in the center of the volume knob. When it’s activated, it coil-splits the Haymaker humbucker in the bridge, giving you a true single-coil sound. This essentially turns your HSS Strat into a traditional SSS Strat on demand, giving you the best of both worlds, from thick, powerful humbucker tones to bright, spanky single-coil bite.
It feels incredibly natural. The fingerboard transitions from a rounder 10-inch radius at the nut, which is super comfortable for playing chords, to a flatter 14-inch radius up high. This flatter surface is perfect for lead playing, allowing for wide string bends without the notes fretting out. It’s a modern design that supports all styles of playing effortlessly.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
