Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Sinister Red

Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Sinister Red

Refined, reshaped, and revoiced for modern performing musicians, the Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Sinister Red is a thoroughly 21st-century reimagining of Leo Fender’s iconic double-cut creation. From the second you sling up this Strat, you’ll enjoy enhanced playing comfort thanks to the select alder body’s tapered neck heel and deep neck joint contour. Naturally, these changes grant effortless access to the Modern D quartersawn maple neck’s compound-radius fingerboard, which boasts Ultra Rolled edges for a seamless feel against your palm. Three Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Stratocaster pickups capture the chiming highs, round lows, and snappy attack that have served as the Strat’s sonic calling card since 1954, all without a hint of single-coil hum. Plus, Fender’s S-1 switch upgrades the Strat’s standard 5-position switch by injecting your neck pickup into positions one and two. You also get a host of high-performance hardware appointments, including Fender’s 2-point American Ultra Synchronized tremolo, a cold-rolled steel trem block, Deluxe locking tuners, and a stylish 1-ply aluminum pickguard. Cutting-edge and classic all at once, the Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster advances the S-style formula to bold new heights without compromising the model’s vintage soul.

Ultra-high-performance quartersawn maple neck

Fender’s American Ultra II series is all about superb 6-string performance, and nowhere is that more apparent than in this Stratocaster’s easy-playing neck. A comfortably slim Modern D maple neck lays the foundation, topped with a compound-radius fingerboard that steadily flattens out from a 10-inch radius on the low frets to a 14-inch radius up high. This design ensures both easy, natural-feeling chording on the lower half of the neck and effortless multi-step bends up high without a hint of fret-out. To further aid your fleet-fingered endeavors, this guitar’s neck is topped off with Ultra Rolled edges and an Ultra Satin finish, resulting in a nearly frictionless feel against your palm.

Old-school Strat sonics with zero hum

From whisper-quiet cleans to screaming gain-laden leads, Fender’s Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups can do it all without a hint of hum. These pickups sing with classic single-coil Stratocaster sonics, offering modern noise-free performance and uncompromisingly vintage-tinged tone. Bell-like highs, round lows, quacky in-between positions — you get the picture. What’s more, this Strat comes equipped with Fender’s S-1 switching system; it allows you to integrate the neck pickup into the 5-way switch’s one and two positions, unlocking a full-blast setting with all three pickups enabled and a Tele-style neck/bridge configuration.

Limitless access to all 22 frets

Sculpted to perfection, the Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster sports expertly engineered contours that smooth over the Strat’s traditionally chunky neck joint. This guitar’s tapered neck heel pairs with a deeply sculpted body contour at the neck joint, resulting in a nearly seamless transition from neck to body. Moreover, our technique-heavy guitarists appreciate how these cuts ensure unfettered access to all 22 frets, with no need to twist and contort your fretting hand when laying down licks and solos on the highest notes.
