For players who demand the ultimate in performance and tone, American Ultra is Fender's most advanced series of guitars and basses. Featuring an Original Floyd Rose Tremolo system, stainless-steel frets and eye-catching custom colours with matching painted headcaps, the American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Floyd Rose HSS is Ultra – elevated.
The Augmented “D” neck profile with Ultra rolled fingerboard edges and tapered neck heel provides endless playing comfort and allows easy access to the highest register. A speedy 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard with 22 stainless steel medium-jumbo frets means effortless and accurate soloing, while the Ultra Noiseless™ Hot single-coil pickups and Ultra Double Tap™ humbucking pickup, along with advanced wiring options, provide endless tonal possibilities – without hum. The Original Floyd Rose Tremolo system allows for precision vibrato effects while staying perfectly in tune. This versatile, state-of-the-art instrument will inspire you to push your playing to new heights.
This model features a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system which allows a range of vibrato effects – from subtle warble to wild dive bombs – with substantially improved tuning stability. Stainless steel frets are significantly harder and smoother than traditional nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel that makes bending easy.
The Augmented “D” neck profile is a refined hybrid shape with slightly more body than the Modern “D”. The profile becomes subtly fuller towards the twelfth fret, with shoulders that soften in the higher register. Ultra rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth Ultra satin finish make the neck effortless to play. The Ultra Noiseless Hot single-coil pickups offer modern Fender tone without hum. In conjunction with the Ultra Double Tap™ humbucking bridge pickup this calibrated set is supremely versatile and offers dynamic Fender tone that is second to none.
Built for speed and easy bending, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut for chording, becoming increasingly flat as it nears the upper register for choke-free bending. The tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard, while the sculpted rear body contour is designed for comfort.
