The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS blends seven decades of Strat heritage with modern performance upgrades. This isn't just a tribute to tradition — it's a forward-thinking instrument designed for today's players.
Featuring an HSS pickup configuration with Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups and a powerful Haymaker Humbucker, it delivers everything from crisp, clean tones to rich, saturated leads — all without unwanted noise. Built for musicians who demand both vintage character and cutting-edge performance, this Strat is ready to inspire.
Pickups and Electronics That Actually Deliver
Tone is king, and the American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS comes loaded with firepower. The bridge position Haymaker Humbucker brings serious output and raw expressiveness — perfect for those moments when you need to cut through a dense mix or deliver a searing solo. Meanwhile, the neck and middle Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups deliver articulate, hot-rodded Fender tones with zero hum, even under harsh stage lighting or fluorescent studio bulbs.
Haymaker Humbucker: This medium-to-high-gain pickup unleashes a raw snarl with sweet midrange and top-end clarity that keeps every note defined, even when things get dirty.
Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat Pickups: Redesigned for improved tone and quieter operation, these pickups capture that classic Fender snap and sparkle without the annoying 60-cycle hum that plagues traditional single-coils.
S-1 Switching & Advanced Electronics: Push the S-1 button hidden in the volume knob to coil-split the Haymaker, giving you authentic single-coil tones for maximum versatility. The treble bleed circuit preserves your high-end even at low volumes, while Orange Drop capacitors deliver smooth, warm tones and rock-solid stability.
The Fastest Neck Fender Has Ever Built
When inspiration hits, speed is everything. That's why the American Ultra II features Fender's fastest-playing neck yet. Its Modern "D" profile is the perfect middle ground — not too thick, not too thin — with sloped shoulders that feel flatter and more natural in your hand. The 10"-14" compound radius fingerboard is designed for versatility, transitioning from a comfortable curve near the nut for chording to a flatter surface higher up. This design makes it easier to rip through fast runs and execute wide bends without the notes fretting out.
Quartersawn Maple Neck with Ultra Satin Finish: The premium quartersawn cut delivers superior stability and warp resistance, while the Ultra Satin urethane finish feels broken-in right out of the case — smooth, slick, and ready to fly.
Ultra Rolled Edges & Medium-Jumbo Frets: The fingerboard edges are rolled more than any other Fender, giving you that well-worn vintage comfort immediately. Medium-jumbo frets make string bending effortless and add sustain for days.
Luminlay Side Dots & Tapered Neck Heel: Glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots ensure you can navigate the fretboard even on the darkest stages, while the tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours provide unparalleled access to the upper register.
Premium Hardware and Stage-Ready Details
This guitar looks as good as it plays. The select alder body, famed for its wide tonal range, features sculpted contours for lightweight comfort. A gloss urethane finish protects your investment and shines under stage lights. The 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo includes a pop-in arm, polished stainless steel block saddles, and a cold-rolled steel block, delivering endless sustain, precise attack, and solid tuning stability.
Deluxe Locking Tuners: Short-post locking tuners provide a sharper, more consistent break angle over the Graph Tech TUSQ nut, delivering increased sustain, enhanced tuning stability, and lightning-fast string changes.
Premium Construction Details: From the 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard to the soft-touch knobs and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate, every detail reflects Fender's commitment to precision craftsmanship.
Deluxe Molded Case Included: Your Ultra II ships in a deluxe molded case, ready to hit the road or protect your investment at home.
For the Player Who Demands More
The American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS is the pinnacle of Fender's modern design philosophy, combining premium materials, precision craftsmanship, and cutting-edge features. This guitar doesn't force a choice between vintage soul and contemporary performance. Whether you're chasing crystalline cleans, crunchy rhythm tones, or scorching leads, the Ultra II HSS delivers flawless tone and limitless versatility.
