The Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster RW 2-Color Sunburst is a versatile electric guitar that is optimized for modern playing techniques and characterful sound.

Three Ultra Noiseless Vintage single-coils conjure traditional clean and overdrive tones without any unwanted background noise. Last but not least, a Fender 2-point Deluxe Tremolo and tuning stable Fender Deluxe Cast/Sealed locking tuners complete the Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster RW 2-Color Sunburst.
The Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Floyd Rose RW 2-Color Sunburst combines classic Strat style with optimized playability 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 radius that increases from 10" to 14" guarantee a light-footed playing flow. An absolute highlight is the use of stainless steel frets in medium jumbo format, which supports smooth stringing.
Authentic vintage sound without unwanted noise
The Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster RW 2-Color Sunburst delivers multi-faceted clean and overdrive sounds with authentic vintage character. Responsible for this are three Fender Ultra Noiseless Vintage Stratocaster single-coils, which convey the characteristic transparency and dynamics of single-coil pickups, without unwanted noise affecting the sound even at high gain and volume settings. The pickups are controlled by the classic 5-way circuit with one volume and two tone controls, enhanced by an S-1 switch for additional tonal options.
Indestructible hardware
The Fender American Ultra Luxe Stratocaster Floyd Rose RW 2-Color Sunburst is completed by an indestructible hardware equipment, capable of handling even the most demanding touring duties with unwavering reliability. A Fender 2-Point Deluxe Tremolo with Pop-In Arm is used as the bridge here, its smooth handling enticing vibrato embellishment on melodies or chords. Behind the GraphTech TUSQ nut, Fender Deluxe Cast/Sealed locking tuners ensure accurate and stable tuning even with frequent use of the vibrato lever.

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.
