Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Stratocaster®

Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Stratocaster®

The 1950s Stratocaster is where the legend began — ash bodies, maple necks, and single-coil pickups that defined the sound of American music forever. The American Ultra Luxe Vintage ’50s Stratocaster honors that original vision while pushing every aspect of performance, playability, and craftsmanship to the absolute limit. With an aged Heirloom™ nitrocellulose lacquer finish, Pure Vintage ’57 pickups, and stainless steel frets, this is the ’50s Strat reimagined for players who demand the very best — available in two of Fender’s most timeless finishes.

Key Features

• Body: Select ash or alder with Ultra sculpted contours and tapered neck heel; aged Heirloom™ nitrocellulose lacquer finish that breathes and resonates like a true vintage instrument
