SELECT ASH /ALDER BODY WITH ULTRA CONTOURS AND HEIRLOOM™ NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER FINISH

Premium ash and alder bodies provide the foundation for authentic Fender tone, offering exceptional resonance and character. Elegant ‘Ultra’ sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional. Channeling a 1950s Stratocaster®, our Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish reproduces the subtle aging and distinctive look of a treasured vintage instrument.

QUARTERSAWN MODERN “D” PROFILE NECK AND TAPERED NECK HEEL

Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing. Paired with an extra-strong quartersawn maple neck and tapered neck heel, this neck delivers unparalleled stability and access to the upper registers of the fingerboard.

10”-14” COMPOUND RADIUS FINGERBOARD WITH ULTRA ROLLED EDGES AND LUMINLAY® SIDE DOTS

Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages while “Ultra” rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth “Ultra” satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

STAINLESS STEEL FRETS

Premium stainless steel frets deliver unmatched tone, durability and smooth playing feel. These frets require minimal maintenance, resist corrosion, and maintain their mirror-like polish – ensuring consistent playability and lasting quality for years to come

PURE VINTAGE ’57 STRAT® SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS AND S-1™ SWITCHING

Specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years, Pure Vintage pickups are constructed exactly like the pickups from Fender’s golden years. Materials include cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins and alnico magnets. The volume knob’s S-1 switch adds the neck pickup in switch position one and two, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.

AMERICAN ULTRA SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO, STAINLESS STEEL SADDLES, COLD ROLLED STEEL BLOCK, POP-IN ARM

Featuring stainless steel saddles and a chamfered cold-rolled steel block, the American Ultra synchronized tremolo system provides superior tuning stability and enhanced tonal response.
