The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS effortlessly zooms you into “Super Strat” territory with its Haymaker humbucker and two Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat single-coils. Tonal flexibility is further enhanced with a Fender S-1 switch that can be used to split the Haymaker. Shred-approved playability is on tap with a quartersawn maple neck with modern D profile, compound radius (10" to 14") fingerboard with rolled edges, Ultra Satin finish, 2-Point American Ultra Synchronized Tremolo and Luminlay side dots.

“The feel of the American Ultra II is super-duper amazing,” says guitarist Ari O’Neal, who has worked with Beyoncé, Jay Z, Alicia Keys, SZA, Fantasia and others. “First, I love maple necks, because it’s so easy and fun to play around on them, and the Ultra II’s rolled edges are incredible. My hands are small, this neck feels like butter. I use the neck-and-middle-pickup selection a lot for pop and R&B—it was the setting for 80 percent of the set when I was touring with Beyoncé, Fantasia and Lizzo. It cuts through without being quacky or quirky. The American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS also works great with effects, because you’re starting with such a good clean tone. No matter how many effects you layer, you can always say, ‘Yes—that’s a Strat.’”
