Fender is back with a whole new line of guitars and basses via the American Ultra II series.
The American Ultra II series offers up a Stratocaster in both a standard and HSS figuration (plus a left-hand model), the American Ultra II Telecaster, a Meteora model available as both guitar and bass iterations, and then a Precision bass and Jazz bass – the latter of which offers both 4- and 5-string configurations.
The American Ultra II series features modern body contours, a Modern “D” neck shape, and the most advanced Ultra Noiseless and new Haymaker Humbucker pickups. Ultimately, the American Ultra II series is the bridge between Fender and their other brands like Charvel, EVH or Jackson.
Top highlights for the series include Fender‘s fastest playing necks thanks to their quartersawn Maple neck with either an Ebony or Maple fingerboard, Luminlay side dots, and Ultra rolled edges; as well as a sculpted neck heel and sleek rear body contours to offer next-level comfort and playability.

“With the work and heart that went into creating the American Ultra II series, there’s a lot of soul in these guitars,” said Justin Norvell, EVP of Product at Fender.
“We refer to it as the ‘sports car’ of the Fender lineup, it’s designed to push boundaries and redefine what a Fender guitar can be, catering to both traditionalists and those exploring new, faster, and more intricate playing styles. This is a guitar that doesn’t fight you; instead, it gets out of the way, allowing you to focus purely on your performance, whether you’re playing soulful solos, fast riffs, or complex chord progressions.”
