Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Aurora
Description
Offered exclusively at Guitar Center, this Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster hits the stage like a spotlight before you even plug in. Its brilliant, glittering Aurora blue finish dances under stage lights, while the gold anodized pickup cover adds a futuristic twist to the Strat’s iconic silhouette. Underneath that showstopping look is a player’s machine: a sculpted alder body that feels fluid against the body, a roasted maple neck built for slick, expressive movement and a trio of Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups with a roaring Haymaker humbucker. From glassy, three-dimensional cleans to harmonically rich lead tones, every note rings out with Fender’s unmistakable voice and ultramodern clarity. More than a collector’s colorway, this limited Ultra II was built to inspire riffs, solos and song ideas the moment your hands hit the strings.
Ultra II Noiseless Pickups Deliver Pristine Tone
The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster features Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups and a Haymaker humbucker, unlocking a broad tonal range with zero hum. These pickups deliver dynamic clarity, rich harmonics and punchy articulation. Add the S-1 switch to split the humbucker, and you step into authentic single-coil sparkle without sacrificing power. From airy cleans to driving leads, the Ultra II keeps every nuance tight and expressive.
Advanced Modern D Neck Design Enhances Playability
Its roasted maple neck features a Modern D profile and Ultra Satin finish for a smooth, fast-playing feel. The 10"–14" compound radius fingerboard with medium-jumbo frets and rolled edges makes chords feel relaxed and leads feel effortless. Paired with a sculpted neck heel, upper-fret access becomes fluid, letting your phrasing stretch beyond what a standard Strat typically offers.
Hardware Designed for Seamless Performance
The 2-point American Ultra synchronized tremolo with stainless steel saddles provides stable pitch control and a responsive feel for subtle vibrato or full expressive dives. Deluxe locking tuners deliver fast string changes and reliable tuning stability. Soft-touch controls and a sleek anodized pickguard round out a modern aesthetic that’s built to perform night after night.
Premium Materials Built to Last
The select alder body and gloss urethane finish guarantee durability while showcasing the guitar’s striking color. A roasted maple neck adds tuning stability and resistance to weather shifts, and a TUSQ nut enhances sustain and articulation. Every component is designed to support serious performers who need an instrument they can trust onstage and in the studio.
Fender American Ultra II is Built for Players Who Demand the Best
The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster is made for players who expect premium feel, pristine tone and truly modern versatility from their main instrument.

The Ultimate Stratocaster

I saw this hanging on the wall at my local store and fell in love instantly. The product pictures are great, but this finish is hard to photograph. The colors range from blue, to green, and hints of purple depending on the viewing angle and overhead lighting. The pick guard is a beautiful rose gold. Looks aside, this thing sounds like a dream. The pickups can go from whisper quiet to 100 mph screaming vengeance in a heartbeat. Wonderful highs, nice mids, and tight punchy lows. It's so nice to switch the bridge humbucker from single to double coils with the flip of a switch. The different tones you can achieve between the 3 pickups makes this guitar very versatile. I could go on and on. Would definitely recommend you check this out.
Great all around Strat

Purchased one of these while visiting the NYC guitar center. I own a few strats already. This one is like a Swiss army knife of stratocasters . The onboard preamp is an awesome touch. Finish is amazing to look at and build quality is great. I only wished they used gold hardware instead
