The Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Floyd Rose HSS MN Silverburst combines the classic Strat style with optimized playing characteristics and versatile tones.
Traditional woods and excellent playability
Fender pays special attention to a traditional wood selection and optimal tuning for modern playing techniques in the construction of the Ultra Luxe Strat. Accordingly, the alder body features not only the typical Contour body shaping, but also a tapered neck heel for unobstructed access to the high registers. The bolt-on maple neck sits comfortably in the hand thanks to the ultra-satin back and augmented-D profile, while rounded fingerboard edges and the compound radiusthat increases from 10" to 14" guarantee a light-footed playing flow. An absolute highlight is the use of stainless steel frets in medium jumboformat, which supports smooth stringing.
Flexibility of the HSS pickup setup
The American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Floyd Rose HSS MN Silverburst from Fender proves to be a versatile all-round electric guitar with the right sound for almost any musical style. The Fender Ultra Noiseless Hot Single-Coils installed in the neck and middle positions convince with a powerful and dynamic sound that retains the typical Strat transparency and remains free of unwanted noise. The Fender Double Tap Humbucker at the bridge, on the other hand, provides powerful humbucker sounds, showing its full strength in the overdrive channel and delivering a finely differentiated sound development with high assertiveness. The 5-way circuit with additional S-1 switch in the volume control also allows you to realize multifaceted timbres.
Indestructible hardware
The Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Floyd Rose HSS MN Silverburst is completed by an indestructible hardware setup, which also completes professional tour applications with unshakable reliability. The bridge used here is a Floyd Rose Original tremolo, which, thanks to its double-locking design, can take even frequent and violent whammy bar use without the electric guitar going out of tune. Behind the locking nut, smooth-running Fender Deluxe tuners also ensure precise tuning.

My first Fender Strat and I loved it from the first seconds I took it out of the case. Ultra Luxe - you can't say less, top quality.
I give it all 5 starts however I was a little bit disappointed that the Floyd rose Allen keys were not included and I was not able to tune the guitar or change the strings. It's been actually one week now since I own it but cannot play because of that. MusicStore has confirmed that Fender doesn't include them in the box (which is really weird when you buy a 2,5k bucks guitar), Fender user support remains silent and does not respond to my e-mails. So bear that in mind when you buy it. I know those wrenches cost nothing but I am now in a remote place with no Internet shops and delivery so I have just to gaze at my guitar before I can get those keys. A small thing hugely impacting user experience.
