Product information

General

Fender's American Ultra Series is the immediate successor to the Elite Series and it goes without saying these are the best quality electric guitars that Fender have to offer, aside from their Custom Shop models, of course. The snug Strat body boasts deep contours and a rounded heel for quick and easy access to all 22 stainless-steel medium jumbo frets, while the modern D neck carve of this electric guitar has that fully natural feel in the palm of your hand, allowing you play for hours on end without getting bothered by fatigue.

The Ultra Stratocaster: A Mass of Options

Looking at the three passive Ultra Noiseless single-coils, it's clear Fender have aimed the American Ultra Strat at modern players. These pickups are voiced to deliver noiseless cleans, imposing overdrive and distortion alike - and there's a S-1 switch on-board so you can summon even more sounds. Another solid feature is the compound fretboard radius, which starts out at 10 inches near the headstock and gradually becomes 14 inches down at the body, setting both rhythm and lead guitarists up with satisfying playing comfort.

The Details

What sets apart a great guitar from a superb guitar are the details and the finish. That would explain why the Ultra Strat has been equipped with Deluxe locking machine heads that make sure that the guitar stays in tune for longer, plus these allow for practically effortless string swaps. The stable, 2-point synchronised further contributes to accurate intonation, while the six block saddles form a comfortable place to put your hand when you palm-mute. Fender have even carefully contemplated the finish, ultimately deciding to go with a high-gloss finish of the body and headstock and a satin-gloss finish on the neck for ultra-fast slides.

Fender American Ultra Stratocaster Ultra Burst RW with Case

Ik wilde een strat met een heel goed en herkenbaar geluid die heel goed bespeelbaar is. Die heb ik gekregen. Het is beslist een aanwinst, geen seconde spijt van. Of zo'n ding een duizendje meer mag kosten dan een MIM, dat weet ik niet, maar ik vind MIA's over het algemeen gelijkmatiger spelen, ik kan er beter fijne nuance op kwijt.
