Product Description

Ultra Luxe Strat Feel With Vintage ’50s Soul

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Stratocaster in White Blonde is what happens when classic Strat chime meets modern pro-level comfort. It has that sweet, airy ash resonance and vintage-correct sparkle, wrapped in a neck that feels fast, slick, and totally effortless.

Under your hands it feels like a perfectly broken-in vintage Strat, but it plays cleaner, stays in tune better, and handles modern gain and effects without flinching. If you live in the world of real gigs, sessions, and long sets, this thing is built to be your main squeeze, not a case queen.

Heirloom Nitro Ash Body With Serious Resonance

The ash body and Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish are a big part of why this Strat feels alive. The nitro is thin and aged just right, so the body can breathe and resonate instead of feeling choked by thick poly. You get that airy top, tight low end, and a focused midrange that helps every note bloom and sing.

The White Blonde finish lets the grain peek through and gives it that timeless Fender vibe. Carved contours and the way the body sits against you mean this guitar disappears on a strap, whether you are standing at rehearsal or tracking in the studio.

Quartersawn Maple Neck Built For Speed And Control

The quartersawn maple neck with a Modern D profile hits that sweet spot between substantial and fast. It fills your hand enough to feel solid, yet the shoulders are trimmed so you can move up and down the neck without thinking about it. Ultra rolled edges make it feel like a neck that has been played for decades, not pulled from a box yesterday.

The satin finish stays smooth and dry under stage lights. Real talk, once you get used to this kind of neck you will notice how sticky and clunky a lot of other guitars feel. The tapered neck heel makes those very top frets feel wide open instead of cramped.

Stainless Frets And A Compound Radius For Buttery Playability

The 10″ to 14″ compound radius fingerboard is made for modern playing. Down low it is comfortable for chords, up high it flattens out so big, expressive bends stay glassy instead of fretting out. Medium jumbo stainless steel frets stay smooth and slick almost forever, perfect if you bend a lot or gig hard.

Maple on maple keeps the attack snappy and articulate, while the Luminlay side dots quietly save you on a dark stage. You can actually see where you are going when the lights drop, which is a little thing that feels huge the first time it saves a solo.

Pure Vintage ’57 Pickups With Extra S-1 Magic

The Pure Vintage ’57 Strat single-coils are all about classic Fender tone. Clean, they deliver bell-like highs, tight bass, and that scooped, glassy midrange that just sits in a mix. Push them with gain and they get chewy and dynamic, never harsh, so your touch still matters.

The S-1 switch quietly upgrades the whole rig. It adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2, giving you thicker, more muscular bridge and bridge-plus-middle tones when you need more meat. It is like having a second Strat hiding under the hood, without losing the classic five sounds you already know.

Hardware That Stays In Tune And Out Of Your Way

The precision-engineered 2-point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with polished stainless block saddles and a cold rolled steel block keeps things solid and musical. You can lean into vibrato for expressive, vocal-sounding lines without fighting tuning issues every song. The pop-in arm feels secure but still quick to remove when you pack up.

Deluxe locking tuners make string changes a two-minute job and lock in tuning stability. Graph Tech TUSQ nut, locking strap buttons, and quality nickel/chrome hardware mean this Strat is built for serious work, not just living in a glass case.

The Lowdown

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 vibe is pure ’50s Strat in the best way: airy, glassy top, tight low end, and that classic scooped mid your ears expect. The Pure Vintage ’57 pickups nail the old-school tones, while the Ultra neck, compound radius, and stainless frets make it play way cleaner and easier than a real vintage guitar. You get the soul without the fight or the repair bills.
Heirloom nitro feels thinner, drier, and more organic than a thick gloss poly finish. It lets the ash body resonate more freely, so the guitar feels and sounds more open and responsive in your hands. Visually it has a gently aged, played-in look instead of that super plasticky shine, which fits the whole Vintage ’50s vibe perfectly.
On this model the S-1 switch quietly adds the neck pickup to positions 1 and 2. That means you can get bridge+neck and bridge+middle+neck combinations that are thicker and meatier than a standard Strat, great for rhythm parts and singing leads. You still keep all five classic Strat sounds, you just gain a couple of extra voices when you need more muscle.
Stainless frets mostly change the feel and longevity, not the fundamental voice of the guitar. They feel super smooth under bends and vibrato and they resist wear incredibly well, so your setup stays consistent for years. Any tonal difference is subtle, while the playability and durability benefits are huge if you gig or practice a lot.
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.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
