Fender American Ultra

Modern reinterpretation

The Fender American Ultra is Fender's flagship series and is qualitatively located between the American Vintage II series and directly below the custom shop . However, due to its modern design, the American Ultra series differs significantly from the Vintage-influenced guitars that form much of Fender's wider line-up. American Ultra is Fender's most advanced series , offering sophisticated guitars and basses for musicians who demand the best quality in precision, performance and sound .

In most American Ultra models, the body is made of alder wood, and the necks are of course made of maple. The necks with a unique “Modern D” neck profile and gently rounded fingerboard edges almost play themselves. The compound fingerboards with a 10” to 14” radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets nestle comfortably in the fingering hand. The flattened base of the neck allows for comfortable gripping even at the highest positions.
No expense was spared in terms of electronic technology either: the newly developed Fender Noiseless single coils ensure a hum-free performance, even at high volumes and on large stages. Depending on the model, Fender Double Tap humbuckers with coil tapping function are also installed to expand the tonal possibilities.

The American Ultra Luxe Collection

The American Ultra Luxe models are a further development of the American Ultra series. The Ultra Luxe instruments combine the same features as the Ultras, plus stainless steel frets , which are extremely durable and help to minimize wear on the fingerboard. All American Ultra Luxe models also feature a matching headstock finish that perfectly supports the modern look of the instruments. Some models also come with a Floyd Rose vibrato, which is very convenient for guitarists with harder playing styles.
