collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster HSS electric guitar combines the unmistakable curves and iconic tones of a vintage Strat with cutting-edge features for today's most demanding players. As part of the American Ultra Luxe Vintage series, it pairs classic Fender design elements with premium materials, advanced electronics and the stunning Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish for a played-in aesthetic right out of the case. A quartersawn maple neck with a Modern D profile and Ultra rolled edges delivers exceptional comfort, while an HSS pickup configuration with an S-1 coil split offers an incredible range of tones—from vintage sparkle to high-gain punch.

Classic Alder Body With Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Strat's alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation with clear mids and warm lows, making it a versatile choice for nearly any style. Fender's Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar the look and feel of a well-loved instrument, while allowing the wood to breathe and resonate more freely. Subtle carved body contours ensure exceptional playing comfort, and the attention to detail in the finish work highlights Fender's mastery of both form and function.

Modern D Maple Neck With Ultra Rolled Edges for Superior Playability

The quartersawn maple neck is engineered for both stability and superior resonance. Its Modern D profile feels substantial yet fast, while Ultra rolled fingerboard edges add to the smooth, broken-in feel. The 10"–14" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, fitted with 22 medium jumbo stainless-steel frets, is built for effortless bends and precise intonation. Luminlay side dots make it easy to navigate the fretboard on dark stages, and the tapered neck heel grants unrestricted access to upper frets.

Versatile HSS Pickup Configuration With S-1 Coil Split

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster's electronics combine two Pure Vintage '61 single-coil Strat pickups in the neck and middle with a powerful Haymaker humbucker at the bridge. This setup delivers everything from glassy Strat cleans to muscular rock crunch, with the S-1 switch enabling coil-splitting for single-coil clarity from the bridge position. The five-way blade switch offers a wide palette of tones, making this Strat equally suited for blues, pop, rock and beyond.

High-Performance Fender Hardware for Precision and Stability

A two-point Ultra synchronized tremolo bridge with polished stainless-steel block saddles and a cold-rolled steel block offers exceptional tuning stability, sustain and responsiveness. Deluxe locking short-post tuners make string changes quick and secure, while the nickel/chrome hardware provides both durability and classic Fender appeal. From subtle vibrato to aggressive dive bombs, this tremolo system is built to perform.

A Premium HSS Strat for Players Who Refuse to Compromise

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage '60s Stratocaster HSS electric guitar is built for guitarists in search of a single instrument that can handle any genre or setting. Whether you're recording in the studio, playing live or pushing creative boundaries at home, it delivers vintage-inspired beauty, modern playability and a tonal range that covers everything from delicate cleans to roaring leads.
