Fender American Ultra II
Bursting with state-of-the-art enhancements and upgrades, Fender’s American Ultra II instruments are purpose-built for the most discerning of performance-minded players. This series comprises Fender’s most iconic guitar and bass models — along with their forward-thinking Meteora platform — and sharpens every aspect of their designs to deliver unparalleled playability and comfort. From their lightning-fast necks to their upgraded Ultra II Noiseless pickups, American Ultra II Series guitars represent the very peak of Fender innovation.
Fender’s Fastest-playing Necks Yet
Every guitar and bass in Fender’s American Ultra II series begins with a premium and setup-stable quartersawn maple neck, complete with high-visibility Luminlay side-dot markers. After being carved into a slim, speedy “Modern D” profile, American Ultra II necks are smoothed over with Fender’s Ultra rolled fingerboard edge treatment for a frictionless feel against your palm. A compound-radius ebony fingerboard tops it all off, facilitating comfortable open-position chords and effortless upper-register bends that vintage-style instruments can only dream of.
Upgraded Noiseless Pickups
Love the chime of a single-coil but can’t stand the noise? Fender’s American Ultra II guitars and basses brandish updated and upgraded Ultra II Noiseless pickups, granting you the time-tested single-coil sparkle of Fender’s most legendary models without a hint of hum. And for players who favor a fuller, more authoritative voice, select American Ultra II models also come equipped with Fender’s hard-hitting Haymaker humbucking pickups.
Unmatched Comfort and Playability
While Fender’s American Ultra II guitars and basses are clearly inspired by the brand’s 4- and 6-string stalwarts, even the most revered designs allow room for improvement. Need proof? Simply slide up to the high frets on an American Ultra II instrument to enjoy the sculpted neck heel’s seamless transition into the body joint. Furthermore, select models feature deep rear-body contours that offer next-level comfort and playability.
