The American Ultra is Fender's most advanced Stratocaster, packed with modern features for players who want the absolute best performance from a Strat platform. The Modern D neck profile is unique to the Ultra series -- it's thinner at the lower frets and gets slightly fuller as you move up, which feels incredibly natural. A compound radius fingerboard (10 to 14 inches) means comfortable chording down low and effortless bending up high with no fretting out.

The Ultra Noiseless pickups deliver classic Strat tone without the hum, and the S-1 switch opens up additional wiring options for expanded tonal range. Texas Tea is a deep, moody finish that shifts between dark brown and near-black depending on the light. The sculpted neck heel provides the smoothest upper-fret access of any Strat in the lineup.
