Combining time-honored Fender tone and trim with a host of modern upgrades, the American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Stratocaster blends Fullerton-era charm with cutting-edge performance. A lightweight alder body, carved with Ultra contours and a sculpted neck heel, gives this guitar effortless upper-fret access right from the start. Next, the satin-finished, quarter-sawn maple neck boasts a wide Modern D profile, a compound-radius fingerboard, and hard-wearing stainless steel frets that offer playability to rival even the most cutting-edge of contemporary 6-string creations. As for the tone, this Strat’s trio of Pure Vintage ’57 Stratocaster pickups dishes out classic bell-like Strat sonics in spades along with expanded pickup possibilities via S-1 switching. A high-octane hardware complement further ups the ante with a self-lubricating TUSQ nut, Deluxe locking tuning machines, and a 2-post American Ultra synchronized tremolo with polished stainless steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel block. Finally, it’s all wrapped in a semi-gloss Heirloom nitro lacquer finish that beams with captivating checking lines and alluring aging, maximizing your guitar's resonance and gracefully wearing in the more you play.
