Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster HSS
The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster HSS tackles one of music's great questions: what happens when you pair the soul of a classic '60s Strat with sixty years of modern refinement? Spoiler: you get a guitar that sounds like history, plays like the future, and makes both look effortlessly cool.
A Body Built for the Long Haul
Every legendary Strat starts with a great body, and the Ultra Luxe is no exception — those contours are far too smooth to cut corners on. Its select alder body is finished in an aged Heirloom lacquer that delivers instant vintage mojo straight out of the case.
Select Alder Body with Ultra Contours: Lightweight, resonant, and carved for comfort. It delivers the balanced, articulate tone that made the Strat famous, without causing a shoulder ache by set three.
Heirloom Lacquer Finish: This thin nitrocellulose finish lets the wood breathe and age gracefully, developing its own unique character over time — the kind of authentic road-worn mojo you just can't fake.
Tapered Neck Heel: This sculpted heel gives your hand effortless access to the highest frets, meaning those screaming high solos are no longer a physical stretch goal.
A Neck That Does the Heavy Lifting — and a Tone That Delivers the Rest
The quartersawn maple neck on the Ultra Luxe Vintage means business. A Modern "D" profile with rolled fingerboard edges gives it that broken-in feel right out of the box. Pair that with pickups that go from glassy, bell-like cleans to a heavy growl, and you've got all the tonal range you need — no matter what the setlist throws at you.
Quartersawn Modern "D" Profile Neck: Quartersawn maple resists warping from humidity and temperature swings.
10"-14" Compound Radius Fingerboard: Transitions from a rounder curve near the nut for easy chording to a flatter profile higher up, allowing for effortless, choke-free string bends.
Pure Vintage '61 Single-Coil Pickups: Meticulously voiced to recreate the legendary chime of early-60s Strats. This is the classic Fender "quack" that producers and audiences have loved for decades.
Haymaker Humbucker: Sitting at the bridge, the Haymaker adds punchy, high-output power with excellent note definition for thick rhythms and screaming solos.
Advanced S-1 Switching: A stealthy push-button on the volume control unlocks extra pickup combinations, giving you a massive sonic palette without cluttering your control plate.
Hardware Built to Stay in Tune
Nothing ends a performance faster than a guitar that won't hold pitch. The Ultra Luxe Vintage takes tuning stability seriously with a precision-engineered 2-Point American Ultra Synchronized Tremolo system and deluxe locking tuners that make post-dive-bomb retuning a thing of the past. It's the kind of hardware that lets you actually use the tremolo arm instead of just staring at it.
2-Point American Ultra Synchronized Tremolo with Bent Steel Saddles: Fender's refined two-point tremolo system offers smooth, accurate pitch modulation with improved return-to-pitch performance — flutter away with confidence.
Cold Rolled Steel Block: The cold rolled steel sustain block adds mass, density, and resonance to the tremolo system, contributing to enhanced tone and improved vibration transfer throughout the body.
Deluxe Locking Tuners: Enjoy faster string changes and rock-solid tuning stability. Once you experience locking tuners, going back feels like trying to fasten a seatbelt with oven mitts on.
The Full Picture
The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster HSS is a rare instrument — one that respects where Stratocasters came from without being trapped there. It plays with the ease of a modern performance guitar, sounds like a piece of Fender history, and looks like something that belongs under stage lights. From the quartersawn neck to the Haymaker humbucker, every single element was chosen with intention.
