Threading the needle with the finest of modern innovations and history's most influential musical contributions, we have the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster. A complete icon in its age, this age, or any other, Fender's Stratocaster is treated to an unparalleled design as it juggles cutting-edge innovations and standby classic pillars the brand is known for. For any fan of Strats, this model is an American-made entry standing tall among the pack.

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster lines up an exquisite suite of fine specifications laying the groundwork for a marvelous musical experience. This guitar's premium alder body assumes the iconic double-cutaway Stratocaster shape while fitted with sleek carved contours. Inspiring the absolute pinnacle in comfort, these contours work alongside Fender's Heirloom lacquer finish. This finish treatment, relatively unseen in Fender models, makes a splash in the American Ultra Luxe Vintage series with just the right balance of wear and age to match the overall model's timeless sensibilities.

At this point, a quartersawn maple neck joins in with a Modern D profile and satin lacquer finish. This neck is fashioned for performance as it fills the palm comfortably alongside Fender's Ultra rolled fingerboard edges. The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Strat plays seamlessly with twenty-two stainless steel Medium Jumbo frets and a speedy compound fingerboard radius that measures from an already modern ten inches at the nut to a blisteringly fast fourteen toward the body. Playability is critical for this American Ultra Luxe Vintage model.

This model treats us to a fresh set of electronics. Under the hood, this Fender loads in three Pure Vintage '57 Strat single-coil pickups to summon all the great sparkle and shimmer we all know and love from the name. An onboard S-1 switch fitted into the guitar's Volume knob allows for an expanded palette of sounds fit for exploring new sonic territories. CTS 250K potentiometers make mixing through these single-coils' sounds a trip time after time.

This American Ultra Luxe Vintage series entry tops off its experience with a selection of fine hardware specifications. Toward the headstock, a TUSQ nut and sealed locking tuning machines line up to ground strings solidly for sturdy intonation. At the bridge, a two-point American UItra synchronized tremolo bridge lands with a cold rolled steel block and polished stainless steel block saddles. Ensuring a rock-solid playing experience every time, these hardware specifications are reliable and responsive. This American Ultra Luxe Vintage model travels with an included Fender Deluxe hardshell case.

A complete step into the future with a reverent look toward the past, the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster is a balance of sensibilities new and old.
