Description
This is the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster in Ice Blue Metallic, paired with a rosewood fretboard and all the right modern upgrades under the hood. It's a strong fit for serious players who love the look and tonal character of a '60s Strat but want something that plays faster, stays in tune better, and holds up gig after gig. It's built to feel familiar but noticeably refined-perfect if you're looking to step up from a vintage reissue or more standard Strat.
The alder body is finished in Heirloom nitro, which gives it that subtle worn-in feel, and the Ice Blue Metallic adds a touch of flash without getting too showy. The quartersawn maple neck has a Modern "D" shape and a rosewood board with a compound radius, making it easy to transition from rhythm to lead. Stainless steel frets, ultra-rolled edges, and a contoured heel make this thing a breeze to play. The Pure Vintage '61 pickups nail the Strat tones you're after-snappy and clear, with just the right amount of compression when you dig in. The S-1 switch gives you a couple extra pickup blends, which is a nice touch if you need more out of your clean tones.
It's built for players who need a guitar that performs on demand. Between the locking tuners, smooth trem system, and solid hardware, it holds tuning well even if you're leaning into bends or vibrato. We've had a few of these through the shop and they've been incredibly consistent. If you're after a Strat that covers vintage tones without any of the limitations, this one does it in a way that's easy to appreciate the second you plug in.
