Fender Ultra Stratocaster 2021 with Maple Neck

This Stratocaster build features a pristine 2020 Fender American Ultra Stratocaster in Arctic Pearl with an 2021 American Ultra maple neck which includes the original Fender locking tuners. The neck plate is from an Ultra Luxe Stratocaster, but the neck itself is the standard American Ultra model. Specs include a modern D neck profile, 10"–14" compound fretboard radius, and 1.685" nut width.

This guitar has been upgraded with a high end Blade Runner tremolo system, a good blend of vintage-style tone with smoother performance and tuning stability. It’s also loaded with a prewired Fender Noiseless pickguard setup, believed to feature Jeff Beck Hot Noiseless pickups. The electronics are extremely quiet with no noticeable hum.

The guitar was clearly assembled and set up with a lot of care. It plays exceptionally well with low action, no buzzing, and a very balanced feel across the fretboard. The saddle height and setup feel perfectly matched to the neck radius, and overall it performs better than many stock Fender Strats. Everything on the guitar is genuine Fender high-end hardware and components.

Condition is very good overall. There are two cosmetic flaws worth mentioning: a straight finish crack or scratch about 2 inches long on the lower body edge, and a small finish crack near the upper neck pocket. Neither issue is structural. The pickguard also shows normal light pick wear. Aside from that, the Arctic Pearl finish is extremely clean and glossy, with only minimal signs of light swirling if any.

The neck and frets are in excellent shape with no fret wear and the neck is straight. The guitar is fully functional, resonant, and professionally set up by the well respected  NC Guitar works here in Charlotte, NC.

Will be packed carefully for shipping using quality materials, plenty of padding, and secure boxing. The strings may also be detuned slightly before shipment for safety during transit.
