Best Strat that I've ever owned
submitted4 months ago
byMichael
fromTyler, TX
I own 5 American Strats all different configurations. 1. SSS, 2. HSS, 3. ROSEWOOD, 4. MAPLE, 5. HENDRIX Signature. Anyway, this Ultra II, is the most comfortable to play. I've always heard that the guitar that is the most comfortable to play is the one that you will play the most, which has held to be true in my case.These new noiseless pickups are really great too. Much better than version I, II and III. These really sound like single coils, just minus the hum. The contoured heal trally is nice and it does give you easy access to the higher frets. Now for the the best part of this guitar, the neck. This neck is the best neck that I've ever played. I've always loved Fender's C shaped neck, not knowing how much better this D shaped is. It fits in the hand so nicely and the rolled edges makes fretting difficult chords just a lil bit easier. The compound radis neck is great for both chords and face melting solos. The locking tuners are just like the icing on the cake. So it's not just one thing that makes this guitar great, it's the culmination of many small thing that makes this the best Strat ever produced. By the way, I got the white one with the silver pick guard.

I've been lucky enough to own a couple of awesome guitars in my life and this Fender American Ultra 2 Avalanche is by far the best one I've owned. The neck is such a breeze to go down. The clean tones it puts out through my amp are amazing. I love these pickups. Get it while you can.
Amazing!!!
