Fender | American Ultra II
Fender’s Most Forward-Thinking Series Of Instruments Is Back And Better Than Ever!
Built for players seeking the best, American Ultra II delivers! Applying advanced, modern features to classic Fender designs, American Ultra II series guitars & basses both advance the state of the art, and stand the test of time.
Each American Ultra II instrument starts with a select alder body with sculpted contours, then is paired with either an Ebony or quartersawn maple 10”-14” compound radius fretboard, and a Modern “D” maple neck. Ultra II Noiseless pickups, Ultra rolled fretboard edges, Luminlay side dots, and Fender’s proprietary S-1 switching cap off every American Ultra II guitar or bass. Additional road-ready features include Deluxe locking tuners (American Ultra II Stratocaster, American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS, American Ultra II Telecaster), 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguards, and easy truss rod access.



S-1: Performance and tonal variety made easy!
Since its introduction in 2003, Fender’s patented S-1 switch has made it easier to completely shift your tone with the push of a button, a total game-changer for working musicians! For American Ultra II, S-1 suits the needs of each particular instrument:
- American Ultra II Stratocaster: S-1 Switch adds neck pickup into positions 1 (bridge pickup) and 2 (bridge and neck pickup)
- American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS: S-1 Switch coil-splits humbucker
- American Ultra II Telecaster: S-1 Switch activates series wiring option in middle pickup position
- American Ultra II Precision Bass: S-1 Switch on volume knob selects active mode or passive mode, S-1 switch on tone knob adjusts midrange frequencies
- American Ultra II Jazz Bass: S-1 Switch on volume knob selects active mode or passive mode, S-1 switch on tone knob adjusts midrange frequencies
