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.
Equipped with a 2-point Synchronized Tremolo, this Strat can create rich, shimmery vibrato at a moment's notice. Whether you prefer blooming, textured chords, or screeching dive-bombs, this axe is more than capable of handling it with excellent tuning stability thanks to a set of locking short-post tuning machines and bent steel saddles. And, with its cold-rolled steel block, this tremolo adds a touch of brightness and loads of sustain to your tone.
Crafted using Fender's Ultra Noiseless circuitry, the trio of single-coil pickups pump out spanky, chiming Strat tones without any annoying hum. If you're looking for a little extra sonic versatility, though, this guitar has you covered. Engage the volume knob's S-1 switch, and you'll be able to add neck-position tones to positions 1 and 2, unlocking a whole new realm of creative potential.
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 guitar, improved to keep up with the needs of the modern performer.
