If a Custom Shop Strat and a session player’s spreadsheet had a baby, it would look like this.

The American Ultra Stratocaster in Texas Tea is Fender’s modern “show-up-and-play” flagship: Ultra Noiseless SSS to stay quiet when the club isn’t, a Modern D maple neck that feels carved for real hands, and a finish that goes from low-key black to full knockout stunner under stage lights.

Texas Tea is the subtle flex — clean black at first glance, then gold and bronze metallic jump out as soon as you move it, with the metal guard pushing it into stealth muscle-car territory. It usually looks even wilder in person than it does on camera.

The Modern D neck with Ultra rolled edges gives you a touch more shoulder than a Modern C without the baseball-bat thing, and the satin back stays quick when the room gets loud and the lights get hot. The sculpted heel and contoured back are details you only notice when you go back to a square-heel Strat and it suddenly feels like furniture.

Ultra Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups keep the glassy top and “2 and 4” quack but ditch the vintage hiss, which matters once you have multiple gain stages and monitors to contend with. You still get real Strat character; you just don’t have to babysit your noise floor.

Hardware is dialed for people who actually gig: 2-point deluxe synchronized trem with pop-in arm, bone nut, and locking tuners. You can lean on the bar, hit the tuner once, and play the set instead of arguing with your G string every song. The molded case is built for vans and overhead bins first, bedroom corners second.

This is a USED instrument in VERY GOOD condition. There is almost zero damage on the body and it has some moderate fret wear. 

Manual, truss rod adjustment tool, strap locks, tremolo arm and a fender sticker in the Fender hard case.
