Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster® HSS

Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster® HSS — Solar Flare

The American Ultra II is Fender’s most advanced production guitar series — full stop — and the Ultra II Stratocaster HSS takes that engineering excellence and adds a pickup configuration that expands the tonal range of a Strat into genuinely new territory. From sweet, crystalline cleans to searing, hum-free leads, with an S-1 coil-split that unlocks even more voices in between, this is the Stratocaster for players who refuse to be limited. In Solar Flare with a maple fingerboard, it looks as bold and forward-thinking as it plays.
