Fender American Ultra Stratocaster Plasma Red Burst MN

Allmänt

Fender's American Ultra Series is the immediate successor to the Elite Series and it goes without saying that these are the best quality electric guitars that Fender have to offer, aside from their Custom Shop models, of course. In the case of this Ultra Series Stratocaster, Fender have paid extra attention to optimising playing comfort. As such, the Strat's body boasts deep contours and a rounded heel for quick and easy access to all 22, stainless-steel medium jumbo frets. The modern D-profile neck of this electric guitar ensures it fits nicely and naturally in the palm of your hand, so you can play for hours on end without finger fatigue.

Ultra Stratocaster: Ultimate Possibilities

With three, passive Ultra Noiseless single-coils, it's clear Fender have aimed the American Ultra Strat at contemporary guitarists. These pickups guarantee noiseless cleans and imposing overdrive and distortion alike, while the included S-1 switch lets you summon even more sound variations. Another cheeky detail is the compound fretboard radius, which starts out at 10 inches at the headstock and gradually increases to 14 inches at the body, setting up both rhythm and lead guitarists with plenty of playing comfort.

An Eye for Detail

What separates a great guitar from a superb guitar are the details and the finish. That's why the Ultra Strat has been equipped with Deluxe locking machine heads that make sure the Strat stays in tune and changing strings is made effortless. The stable, 2-point synchronised tremolo also helps out in these areas and ensures accurate intonation, while the six block saddles create a comfortable surface for you to rest your hand on during palm mutes. Fender have even carefully contemplated this Strat's finish and ultimately opted for a high-gloss finish on the body and headstock for enhanced aesthetics, and a satin-gloss finish on the neck for an ultra-fast feel.
