Fender American Ultra Stratocaster Ebony Fingerboard Limited-Edition Electric Guitar

When Fender rolled out the American Ultra Series Stratocaster in 2019 after more than two years of development, it was obvious that it was designed for players who want Fender's most advanced, highest-performance, American-made Strat ever. How could it be even more awesome? We teamed up with Fender to add a Guitar Center-exclusive Denim Burst finish over a AA flame maple top and painted headstock with the Fender logo in silver, plus a striped ebony fingerboard. Combine that with the fifth-generation Noiseless pickups, advanced electronics, tapered heel and body contours, and an upgraded neck shape in maple with rolled edges. It all adds up to a Stratocaster that plays as comfortably as your favorite old pair of dungarees. But don’t let these modern updates fool you—the vibe of the American Ultra Denim Burst Strat is still classic Fender.

Fender American Ultra Denim Burst Strat Main Features

• 3 vintage single-coil Noiseless pickups
• Master volume with S-1 switch and individual tone controls, 5-way switch
• Rolled compound-radius ebony fingerboard
• Modern D-shaped tapered maple neck

Ultra Noiseless pickups

Fender first went noiseless back in 1998; the American Ultra Denim Burst Stratocaster features the 5th generation of these pickups, with decades of refinement behind them. It's classic, single-coil sound with zero noise and hum.

Advanced electronics

An S-1 switch is nested into the volume knob, adding the neck pickup to any switch position. A treble bleed circuit maintains the highs even when you dial down the volume.

Rolled edges

The 10" to 14" compound-radius neck makes for easy chording on the lower frets, with a flatter profile for faster fretting and more accurate bends on the upper registers. The special striped ebony fingerboard has rolled edges for added comfort.

New neck contour

The Fender American Ultra Denim Burst Strat neck has a modern-D profile. It’s flatter than a standard-D, with a faster back and a little more “meat” on the shoulders. Fender created an all-new process to apply a thin coat of satin urethane, giving the neck a completely smooth, raw wood feel. Your hands won’t stick here.
