Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster Roasted Natural

The Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS in Roasted Natural is a standout in Fender's most advanced production series, built around a select roasted ash body finished in satin urethane that lets the wood's natural grain do the talking. Roasting the ash tightens up the resonance and drops the weight, and this one tips the scales at a lively, back-friendly 6.92 lbs. Between the sculpted body contours, the matching natural roasted maple headstock, and the 1-ply black anodized aluminum pickguard, this limited-edition Ultra II wears its high-end appointments with understated, all-business style — a modern Strat engineered to the modern state of the art and hold up for the long haul.

The roasted quartersawn maple neck is carved to Fender's Modern "D" profile (.820" at the 1st fret, .870" at the 12th) and wrapped in a smooth Ultra Satin urethane finish for zero drag under the hand. Bolted on with a tapered neck heel and paired with those sculpted contours, it opens up unparalleled access to the upper register. The roasted maple fingerboard carries a 10"–14" compound radius that plays chords low and leads fast, with Ultra rolled edges, 22 medium-jumbo frets, black pearloid dot inlays, Luminlay side dots for dark stages, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut at a comfortable 1.685" width over a 25.5" scale. A 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with polished stainless steel block saddles and a cold-rolled steel block anchors the tuning, backed by deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners.

Under the hood, a trio of Custom Shop Texas Special single-coils delivers the real deal in the neck, middle, and bridge positions — hotter and more articulate than standard Strat pickups, with that unmistakable Texas twang, extra output, and singing bite from glassy cleans to gutsy, overdriven leads. The 5-way blade selector covers the classic Stratocaster voicings, and Fender's patented S-1 switch expands the pickup combinations for even more tonal range, all run through a master volume and two tone controls. Whether you're a blues player chasing vocal lead tone, a session pro who lives on Strat quack and spank, or a Fender collector after a limited roasted Ultra II, this one delivers. This Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster (Serial #US26001106) ships in a Fender Deluxe Molded Hardshell Case. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Fender dealer.
