Description

The Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II HSS Stratocaster in Gold Dust takes the classic Strat formula and supercharges it for modern, high-performance playing. With a select alder body, roasted AAA flame maple neck and a powerful HSS pickup set with onboard boost, it is built for guitarists who need studio-quiet operation, effortless playability and a huge palette of tones in one professional instrument. From the sculpted body contours and tapered neck heel to the Ultra Blaster preamp and S-1 switching, every detail is designed to keep you comfortable, inspired and in control on stage or in the studio. Finished in a striking Gold Dust with matching black hardware and appointments, this is a Strat that looks as cutting-edge as it sounds. Ultra-Modern Feel, Classic Strat Comfort The American Ultra II HSS Stratocaster starts with a select alder body and Fender’s Ultra body contours, giving you the familiar Strat silhouette with enhanced comfort. Deep carves and a sculpted neck heel make long sessions and upper-fret runs feel natural, while the gloss urethane finish lets the Gold Dust colour really shine under stage lights. Roasted AAA Flame Maple Neck Built for Speed A roasted AAA flame maple neck with a Modern D profile offers a fast yet substantial feel that suits everything from intricate lead work to heavy rhythm playing. The 10 to 14 inch compound radius roasted flame maple fingerboard, Ultra rolled edges and medium jumbo frets make bends, vibrato and chord work feel smooth and controlled right across the neck. Noiseless Versatility with Onboard Boost Under the hood, a Haymaker humbucker in the bridge and a pair of Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat single coils deliver a huge range of tones without the hum. From glassy neck cleans to tight, aggressive bridge crunch, the HSS layout covers it all. The S-1 switch coil-splits the Haymaker for more traditional single coil flavours, while the Ultra Blaster preamp provides a warm, punchy dB boost to push your amp for solos or thicker rhythm parts. Stage-Ready Hardware and Refined Details A 2-point American Ultra synchronised tremolo with polished stainless steel block saddles and a cold rolled steel block offers smooth pitch control and solid tuning stability. Deluxe locking tuners with short posts keep string changes quick and intonation reliable. Black soft-touch knobs, a 3-ply black pickguard, Luminlay side dots and an asymmetrical 4-bolt neck plate round out a feature set that is as practical as it is premium. Key Features Roasted AAA Flame Maple Modern D Neck – The roasted AAA flame maple neck and fingerboard provide enhanced stability, a sleek feel and eye-catching figuring. The Modern D profile fills the hand comfortably without feeling bulky, ideal for fast runs, complex chords and long gigs. HSS Layout with Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat Pickups – The combination of a Haymaker humbucker and Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat single coils gives you everything from sparkling cleans to high-gain punch, all with minimal noise. It is a flexible setup that can handle pop, rock, fusion and beyond with ease. S-1 Switching and Ultra Blaster dB Boost – The S-1 switch on the master volume splits the Haymaker humbucker for extra single coil-style tones, while the Ultra Blaster preamp adds a powerful, warm boost at the flick of a switch. This lets you jump from rhythm to lead levels instantly without changing your amp settings. 2-Point Tremolo and Locking Tuners – The 2-point American Ultra synchronised tremolo with polished stainless steel block saddles and cold rolled steel block offers smooth, precise vibrato and strong sustain. Deluxe locking tuners with short posts improve tuning stability and make string changes faster and more secure.
