Ultimate performance
The American Ultra Luxe Series. Blending classic design with supreme, modern features and craftsmanship, Fender's American Ultra Luxe Series is here to rule the world of guitars. Made in the US with superb attention to detail, they are instruments without limits, and will immediately become your favourite to play. Whether you’re taking it out on tour, recording tracks professionally in the studio, or even practising in your bedroom, you can expect the ultimate performance from your American Ultra instrument – no matter what the situation.
Total tonal clarity
No one should have to compromise on their tone. And a trio of Ultra Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups ensure you don't have to. The clue's in the name. Eliminating the infamous 60-cycle hum out of your sound, these pickups kick out all the vintage single-coil tones you'd expect out of a classic Fender. But with more clarity than ever before, your lead playing will slash through the mix, while your chords maintain exceptional definition. So you can showcase your talent, and be heard on stage.
Hailed as one of the most versatile instruments out there, the Strat has truly earned its iconic status. And the American Ultra Luxe Strat maintains its flawless reputation, offering enough tonal capacity to satisfy any genre. A 5-way selector lets you alternate between snappy, twangy lead sounds and a more textured character. And with dual tone knobs controlling the voice of the pickups, the power is truly with the player. It's your sound after all.
The 'Luxe' treatment
Nothing but the best. Fender's years of experimentation and design innovation have yielded some of the greatest necks known to man. This one is no different. In fact, the Ultra "C" maple neck on the American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster could be the best you ever hold, being smooth, comfortable, and easy to navigate. With the superb satin finish, you'll find your hand glides along its surface, making fret transitions a breeze.
Take your fingers for a ride. The maple fretboard will have them dancing along its surface as fast as you like. The modern innovation of its Ultra rolled fret edges provide a level of comfort that simply can't be competed with. A beautifully bright resonance adds a crisp attack to your notes, making your riffs pop out through the mix. Combined beautifully with its tapered neck heel, you'll find that you can solo for days on this perfectly crafted tool. Your inspiration will know no bounds.
Fuel your performance with expression
It doesn't get more creative than using a whammy bar in performance. Hendrix used one in his Woodstock performance. Jeff Beck made it his own. And now, you can inject your performance with your own creative flair. Whether you're unleashing screeching dive bombs, giving your solo that extra kick, or simply decorating your chords with some elegant shimmer – the famed Strat tremolo system gives players an even bigger platform to experiment their sound with. A Strat wouldn't be a Strat without it. So it goes without saying that the American Ultra Luxe features the iconic tremolo bridge design, for even more possibilities in your sound.
