Discover the new Fender American Ultra Luxe series! Featuring made-in-USA Stratocaster and Telecaster models with an exclusive Heirloom nitrocellulose finish
Stratocaster Ultra Luxe: A Modern Take on a Classic
The new Stratocaster models are available in two main styles: a '50s-inspired version and a '60s-inspired version. Both guitars feature a comfortable Augmented "D" profile neck with a modern 10" to 14" compound radius fretboard and 22 medium jumbo stainless steel frets.
'50s Strat
The '50s Strat sports a maple fretboard, while the '60s model features a rosewood fretboard. Both necks are finished with a smooth satin lacquer, and players will appreciate the Luminlay side dots for improved visibility on dark stages and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut for enhanced tuning stability.
In terms of electronics, the '50s Stratocaster is equipped with Pure Vintage '57 Single-Coil pickups, while the '60s model uses Pure Vintage '61 Single-Coil pickups.
Haymaker HSS
Fender is also offering an HSS version with a powerful Haymaker Humbucker in the bridge position for those who need extra tonal versatility.
S-1 Switch
All models feature the standard Stratocaster control layout with a Master Volume (with an S-1 switch for expanded tonal options), two Tone controls, and a 5-way pickup selector.
2-Point Deluxe Tremolo
Hardware on the Stratocaster models includes a 2-Point Deluxe Synchronized Tremolo with a pop-in arm and a set of sealed locking Fender tuners. The '50s and '60s Strats are available in 3 Color Sunburst, Surf Green, and White Blonde, while the HSS model comes in Seafoam Green and Fiesta Red.
Telecaster Ultra Luxe: Vintage Vibe, Modern Performance
The Telecaster lineup also features '50s and '60s models that follow a similar design philosophy. With two versions available and some subtle differences between each type.
The '50s Telecaster has a maple neck, while the '60s Custom Telecaster features a rosewood fretboard and a distinctive double-bound body for a touch of vintage flair. Both Telecaster models have a 'D' shape neck with Ultra rolled edges, 22 medium jumbo stainless steel frets, Luminlay side dots, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut.
'50s Tele
The '50s Telecaster is loaded with Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Tele pickups, and the '60s Custom model features Pure Vintage '63 Single-Coil Tele pickups. The controls are straightforward: a Master Volume (with an S-1 switch), a Master Tone, and a 3-position blade switch.
Both models utilize a Fender 6-Saddle American Tele bridge with brass saddles, with the '60s Custom version having chrome-plated saddles for a slightly different visual appeal.
The '50s Telecaster is available in Butterscotch Blonde and White Blonde, and the '60s Custom models come in 3 Color Sunburst and Lake Placid Blue.
