Description
Improving upon a genius invention is no easy task, yet Fender stepped up to the plate with their impressive new Ultra Luxe series. Retaining everything Fender enthusiasts love about the Stratocaster and implementing state-of-the-art performance features, this American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster is an absolute showstopper.
This axe was built to be a tried and true player-grade instrument. With its Augmented "D" neck profile and Ultra Satin finish, this Strat accommodates fast and demanding techniques without feeling bulky or clunky. Sporting a tapered neck heel and an extra hand contour on the lower cutaway, you'll be able to shred solos in the upper register with ease. The neck also has a compound-radius fingerboard that makes chording effortless, whether you're ripping chords near the nut or at the end of your fingerboard. Complete with rolled fretboard edges, this neck has a great in-hand feel that'll make you want to riff away for hours.
For any hard-rockers out there seeking a guitar that can handle heavy vibrato abuse, this Strat's Floyd Rose Original bridge and nut are more than capable of bending and divebombing with a buttery smooth response. And, with a surprising amount of tuning stability, you can have peace of mind knowing that your strings won't be getting yanked out of tune.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this guitar is the super versatile set of HSS pickups. Crafted with Fender's noiseless circuitry, these pickups are more than capable of pumping out that classic Strat chime without any annoying single-coil hum. The Tim Shaw-designed bridge humbucker is particularly neat, boasting a broad tonal palette with its punchy tone and slick Double Tap feature. To engage Double Tap, press down on the volume pot and activate the S-1 switch - this splits the humbucker into a single-coil, unlocking loads of sonic combinations.
If you're an advanced player who requires nothing but the best from their guitars, then you need to check out this Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster - it's a time-tested design, improved to keep up with the modern performer.
