Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar, Graffiti Yellow

Returning to the beloved American Ultra II series, Fender introduces a souped-up, flashy-as-ever HSS Stratocaster that delivers tonality that matches its striking appearance. This limited edition version of the Ultra II Strat features premium tonewood appointments and custom pickup swaps to produce what we believe to be the best inclusion to the series. A head turner in all regards, this Strat is destined to shred and shred again.

Crafted from select alder, the body retains the iconic double-cutaway Stratocaster silhouette while offering enhanced resonance and balance. A bold Graffiti Yellow gloss urethane finish is paired with a black pickguard, creating a look that is both eye-catching and timeless. Fender’s Ultra sculpted body contours provide exceptional comfort, while the sculpted neck heel allows effortless access to the upper frets, making technical passages and lead work feel completely unrestricted.

The quartersawn roasted maple neck features a Modern “D” profile and Fender’s Ultra Satin finish for an exceptionally smooth feel. Engineered for speed and comfort, the neck is paired with a roasted maple fingerboard fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and black dot inlays. Fender’s 10"–14" compound-radius design ensures effortless playability across the entire 25.5" scale, allowing for comfortable chord work in the lower positions and seamless bends higher up the neck.

Premium hardware ensures dependable performance in any setting. A 2-point American Ultra synchronized tremolo bridge delivers smooth action, precise intonation, and expressive pitch control. At the headstock, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut works alongside deluxe sealed locking tuners to maximize tuning stability and reliability, whether on stage, in the studio, or during extended practice sessions.

What truly sets this Limited Edition model apart is its exceptional pickup configuration. Fender equips the guitar with a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker in the bridge position, complemented by Custom Shop single-coils in the neck and middle positions. Together, they produce an expansive tonal palette ranging from glassy, articulate cleans to thick, harmonically rich overdrive. The integrated S-1 switching system further expands versatility by splitting the bridge humbucker, unlocking authentic single-coil tones and making this Strat equally at home across virtually any genre.

Complete with a deluxe molded hardshell case, the Limited Edition American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS is built for players who demand premium tone, modern performance, and standout aesthetics. With its exclusive specifications, exceptional craftsmanship, and remarkable versatility, it represents one of the most compelling interpretations of the modern Stratocaster to date.
