Fender American Ultra II Electric Guitars and Basses

Experience the Pinnacle of Fender Craftsmanship: The American Ultra II Series

The Fender American Ultra II Series represents the pinnacle of design, craftsmanship, and innovation, straight from Fender’s legendary Corona, California factory. Built for musicians who demand ultimate precision and versatility, these guitars and basses are the result of decades of expertise and relentless innovation. Designed to elevate every aspect of your playing, the Ultra II Series combines cutting-edge features, stunning aesthetics, and impeccable construction. Whether you’re performing on the world’s biggest stages, recording in a high-end studio, or finding inspiration in your living room, these instruments deliver the kind of experience only Fender can offer.

Advanced Quartersawn Necks for Reliability and Resonance

The American Ultra II Series necks are constructed using a quartersawn technique, which optimizes the grain orientation for maximum strength and stability. This method minimizes susceptibility to environmental changes, ensuring consistent playability and tuning stability. Additionally, the necks offer enhanced resonance and sustain, giving your tone a vibrant, full-bodied quality. Finished with a satin polyurethane coating, the necks provide a smooth, friction-free feel that makes extended playing sessions a breeze.

Compound Radius Fingerboard: From Chords to Shreds

The American Ultra II Series features a compound radius fingerboard that transitions seamlessly from a comfortable 10-inch radius at the nut to a sleek 14-inch radius at the upper frets. This design allows for optimal playability across the entire neck. The rounder radius near the nut ensures effortless chording and fretting for rhythm playing, while the flatter radius higher up supports clean, precise bends and speedy solos. Whether you're laying down intricate chord voicings or exploring high-octane lead work, this fingerboard adapts to your playing style with ease.

Ultra II Noiseless Pickups: Iconic Fender Tone Without the Hum

Engineered for clarity and versatility, the Ultra II Noiseless pickups redefine what noiseless technology can achieve. These pickups capture the shimmering highs, rich mids, and punchy lows that Fender is known for, while eliminating unwanted hum and interference. With this technology, the American Ultra II Series is perfect for both pristine studio recordings and roaring live performances. A modern wiring design and onboard switching options provide an expanded tonal palette, enabling you to shape your sound to fit any genre or mood.

Short Post Locking Tuners: Stability Meets Efficiency

For rock-solid tuning and hassle-free string changes, the Ultra II Series incorporates Fender's short post locking tuners. The shorter posts ensure a reduced string break angle over the nut, minimizing friction points and enhancing tuning stability. The locking mechanism secures strings firmly in place, making restringing a quick and easy task. Whether you're engaging in heavy bending or switching tunings mid-gig, these tuners keep your guitar or bass performing at its peak.
