High-Performance Modern Playability Meets Premium Upgraded Tonewoods
Built for players boldly seeking the absolute best, the Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster elevates Fender's most advanced series of instruments to a stunning new tier. Exclusive to this special Fender Special Run (FSR), this model features a highly select, resonant Roasted Ash body. The roasting process removes excess moisture and impurities, delivering an incredibly stable, lightweight body with the broken-in resonance, woody midrange, and acoustic snap of a vintage instrument, beautifully showcased under a sleek gloss Natural finish.
The neck is a masterpiece of modern guitar design, crafted from a single piece of Roasted Quartersawn Maple. Carved to a fast Modern "D" profile with an Ultra Satin finish, it offers unparalleled structural stability and a silky, played-in feel. The matching roasted quartersawn maple fingerboard features a 10"-14" compound radius, ultra-rolled edges, 22 medium jumbo frets, a Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut, and high-visibility Luminlay® side dots for effortless navigation on dark stages.
Under the hood, Fender has bypassed standard noiseless pickups in favor of a calibrated trio of Custom Shop Texas Special™ Single-Coil Strat pickups. These deliver the legendary, over-wound midrange bark, crystal-clear highs, and tight bass response of classic Texas blues and rock. Fender’s patented S-1™ switching system is built into the volume pot, unlocking additional custom pickup combinations to keep your tonal options completely limitless.
The Sanctuary Expert Analysis
"The standard Ultra II series is incredible, but this Limited Edition FSR build completely resets the bar. The pairing of a Roasted Ash body with a Quartersawn Maple neck gives this guitar a spectacular acoustic resonance you can feel right against your ribs. Combined with the throatier, hotter bite of the Custom Shop Texas Special pickups, this is a Strat built for the serious player who wants elite modern performance without sacrificing classic single-coil attitude."
