Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS 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 7.8 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 rosewood fingerboard carries a 10"–14" compound radius that plays chords low and leads fast, with Ultra rolled edges, 22 medium-jumbo frets, white 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 pair of Custom Shop Texas Special single-coils in the neck and middle team up with a Seymour Duncan '59 TH-1B humbucker in the bridge, covering everything from sweet, crystalline Strat cleans to searing, thick-bottomed leads. The 5-way blade selector handles the classic voicings, and Fender's patented S-1 switch splits the '59 humbucker for even more single-coil sparkle — a genuinely versatile HSS layout run through a master volume and two tone controls. Whether you're a gigging pro chasing one do-it-all instrument, a studio player who needs both spank and grunt on tap, or a Fender collector after a limited roasted Ultra II, this Strat delivers. This Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS (Serial #US26010004) ships in a Fender Deluxe Molded Hardshell Case. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Fender dealer.
