SELECT ALDER BODY WITH ULTRA CONTOURS AND SCULPTED NECK HEEL

A resonant alder body provides classic Fender tone, while the tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard and Ultra sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional.

QUARTERSAWN MAPLE MODERN D PROFILE NECK

Slim with wide shoulders, the Modern D neck profile works for any style of playing, while extra-strong quartersawn maple ensures unparalleled stability.

COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY OR QUARTERSAWN MAPLE FINGERBOARD, ULTRA ROLLED EDGES, LUMINLAY SIDE DOTS

Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10-14 compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages while Ultra rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth Ultra satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

HAYMAKER HUMBUCKER, ULTRA II NOISELESS HOT STRAT PICKUPS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS AND S-1 SWITCHING

Equipped with the Haymaker humbucker and Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups this guitar delivers an incredibly versatile range of tones with immense output and incredible balance across all pickup combinations. The Ultra II Noiseless single-coil pickups offer articulate, hot-rodded Fender tones without hum. In conjunction with the expressive snarl of the Haymaker humbucker this calibrated set offers dynamic Fender tone that is second to none. Our patented S-1 switch splits the Haymaker humbucker for even more tonal variety, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.
