This is the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster in Surf Green, loaded with a rosewood board and a full suite of thoughtful upgrades. If you're the type of player who loves the vibe and voice of a '60s Strat but doesn't want to fight the limitations of vintage specs, this model really bridges that gap. Great fit for working players, studio musicians, or anyone who wants the look and sound of a classic with the feel and performance of a top-tier modern instrument.

You've got an alder body under a lightly aged Heirloom nitro lacquer, paired with a quartersawn maple neck and a compound radius rosewood board. The Modern "D" profile, medium jumbo stainless steel frets, and ultra-rolled edges make it feel broken-in right out of the case. Under the hood, three Pure Vintage '61 single-coils handle the tones-from glassy cleans to edge-of-breakup lead sounds-and the S-1 switch sneaks in some extra neck pickup options for a bit more range. The 2-point Ultra trem and locking tuners round it out with stability and quick string changes in mind.

It plays fast and smooth, and you can get around the upper frets easily thanks to the contoured heel. The Surf Green with parchment plastics and clay dot inlays gives it a clean, classic aesthetic without leaning into reissue territory. We've been consistently impressed with how refined and ready these feel right out of the box. If you want a Strat that sounds like it came from the '60s but plays like something built for now, this one hits the mark.
