Description
Fender's American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster with a maple fretboard in 3-Color Sunburst is for players who want classic '50s Strat vibe but expect truly modern playability and performance. If you're an experienced player, a session guitarist, or even a gigging musician looking to invest in a guitar that nails vintage look and sound without any compromises, this model deserves a close look. The American Ultra Luxe Vintage series blends Fender's heritage design with subtle refinements, and this finish looks incredible up close.
Key features include an alder body finished in Heirloom nitro lacquer for a resonant, lively feel that will continue to age gracefully. The quartersawn maple neck has a Modern "D" shape, Ultra rolled fretboard edges, and medium jumbo stainless steel frets, making it easy to move up and down the 10" to 14" compound radius fingerboard. The Pure Vintage '57 Strat single-coil pickups serve up all the bell-like cleans and biting leads that define the Strat sound, with a 5-way switch and S-1 switch for extra pickup combinations. Reliable hardware like the 2-point Ultra Synchronized tremolo, Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and locking tuners keep everything smooth and stable.
This Strat feels comfortable in hand and is built for demanding players who expect effortless playability and dependable performance on stage or in the studio. With the rolled fretboard edges and smooth neck heel, it's genuinely easy to reach every fret. We've found these Ultra Luxe Vintage Strats to be extremely consistent and reliable; if you want an instrument that feels like a true step up, this is it.
