Enhance Playability with Contoured Body Shape
This Stratocaster has a contoured rear body shape that not only looks fantastic, it optimizes playability too. The asymmetrical contours allow your strumming arm and picking hand to rest comfortably against the body. Fender also sculpted cutouts on the back to provide friction-free access to the higher frets. The contoured heel gives you an unrestricted reach to jam in the upper register.
Play in Comfort With the Ultra-Modern Neck Profile
The American Ultra Stratocaster features Fender's unique "Modern D" neck shape, which feels fantastic in your hand. It has an asymmetrical contour that follows the natural form of your palm and fingers for a super smooth feel. Fender also rolled the fingerboard edges for added comfort over long practice or gigging sessions. The back of the neck has a satin finish that maximizes playing speed by reducing drag.
Solo with Ease Thanks to the Compound Radius Fingerboard
This Fender Strat guitar has a compound radius fingerboard, meaning the radius measurements change from the first fret to the last. It starts with a tight 10" radius at the nut for comfortable chording, then flattens out along the length of the neck to 14", providing low action for easy bending and fretting high up. Combined with the medium jumbo frets, you can fly through solos without worrying about accuracy.
Get Endless Tonal Options with Ultra Noiseless Pickups
The American Ultra Strat utilizes a set of Ultra Noiseless Vintage single coil pickups. They provide all the classic bell-like Strat tones you love, without any hum or noise. The neck and middle pickups use Alnico 5 magnets for a sweet, singing voice. The bridge pickup has Alnico 2 magnets for sharper attack and definition. Between the 5-way pickup selector switch and the master volume and two tone knobs, you have a huge variety of tones at your fingertips.
Blend Neck Pickup Tones with the S-1 Switch
The American Ultra Strat comes equipped with Fender's S-1 switch mounted next to the volume knob. This lets you blend in the neck pickup along with any switch position. For example, engage the S-1 switch while on the bridge pickup setting and you'll add the warm, round tone of the neck pickup - creating a thicker, fuller sound.
