Fender Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Guitar, Maple Fretboard, Plasma Red Burst

Player's Perspective

The Fender Ultra series is already the best of the best that Fender has to offer in terms of classic designs improved with modern innovation. Now they've taken it one step further - you'll truly be living in guitar luxury with this gorgeous Ultra Luxe Stratocaster in a stunning Plasma Red Burst! Everything about this Strat looks and feels premium, from the premium ash body with beautiful grain to the sleek matching headstock.

This Ultra Luxe features a ridiculously comfortable, satin-finished "Augmented" D profile, offering a modern yet easygoing experience that's lightning-fast. This guitar is an easy choice for a long jam session or gig. It also features a compound-radius fretboard, which makes high-register playing and bends almost as comfortable as on a shredder-style guitar while keeping chord-strumming natural - an ease of playability that's a sweet contrast from the vintage vibe of the Strat. Lastly, the fretboard is equipped with stainless steel frets, which is a highly-desired feature that contemporary players love for their low maintenance and smooth feel.

The Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups sound amazing and are super versatile. They give you classic Strat tone without the annoying single-coil hum, which comes in handy when you want to play higher-gain styles or on a noisy stage or studio with subpar lighting or power filtering. Push the S-1 switch on the volume knob to be able to cop pickup combinations (like neck + bridge) that a regular Strat is simply incapable of reaching. 

If you want a top-tier Fender Strat that stands out from the rest both visually and feature-wise, give the Ultra Luxe a spin!
