More than 8 months to get these instruments, which are once again unavailable until the end of the year… Not really sure what Fender is doing these days, but thankfully some products are truly outstanding, and this Ultra Luxe Vintage is part of the very best Fender series. With the American Ultra Luxe models, Fender had already set the bar extremely high. These electric instruments truly represented the pinnacle of innovation and build quality. The new American Ultra Luxe Vintage series raises the level even further, showcasing Fender’s heritage at its most sophisticated, a blend of timeless classics and uncompromising modern refinement.

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage Stratocaster® ’60s HSS features a premium alder body with sculpted contours and an aged Heirloom™ lacquer finish. Its quartersawn maple neck is designed for precision playing. It features a “Modern D” profile, Ultra rolled fingerboard edges, medium jumbo stainless steel frets, Luminlay® side dots, and a Graph Tech TUSQ® nut. Each instrument also includes a tapered neck heel that provides effortless access to the upper frets.

Tonally, the Pure Vintage Strat® ‘61 single-coil pickups deliver classic Fender sounds, equally at home with sparkling clean tones and expressive overdrive. The Haymaker™ humbucker adds a crunch that is both powerful and precise. This high-performance guitar also features an American Ultra bridge with a two-point synchronized tremolo, polished stainless steel block saddles and a cold-rolled steel block, along with deluxe locking tuners that allow lightning-fast string changes and exceptional tuning stability.

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage Stratocaster® ’60s HSS is a thoroughly modern instrument with an extraordinary classic design.
