A wolf in sheep's clothing

Electric guitar Fender AM Ultra Strat MN Cobra Blue

A Stratocaster is a Stratocaster is a Stratocaster. Or is it? As the most famous guitar in the world, tradition is paramount, so that it can be recognized very quickly. However, with the American Ultra Stratocaster, Fender has taken a slightly different path. It seems inconspicuous and, at first glance, is definitely recognizable as a Strat. But behind the façade, this latest version is an ergonomically and technically modernised edition of the classic that accommodates several of the guitarist’s needs. All components are still built in the main plant in California, where some of the parts are made using the original machines from the 1950s. The guitar ships in a modern and robust Elite case, which optimally protects the instrument during storage and transport.

Full list of features

The guitar features the classic recipe of an alder body combined with a bolt-on maple neck with a maple fingerboard. At its core, the American Ultra Strat is ultimately still a Stratocaster however, despite all of the modernisation measures. Modern appointments include a rounded neck heel for easier access to the higher registers, as well as a two-point tremolo and locking machine heads for high tuning stability. The guitar also features modern circuitry with noiseless pickups. These have the basic characteristics of a single coil, but with a second coil that suppresses hum. The S-1 switch in the volume control adds the neck pickup to any position, giving you a Tele-like intermediate position of bridge and neck pickups, or even all three pickups.

One for all, all for Strat

Live musicians need reliable instruments. With the American Ultra Strat’s noiseless pickups, you will be protected from nasty surprises in the form of unwanted noises on stage. And with the locking tuners, bone nut, and two-point tremolo, players can expect rock-solid tuning stability. The improved contours on the back of the body and the compound radius of the fingerboard ensure comfortable playing ergonomics. One of the tone controls is responsible for the neck and middle position, while the other governs the bridge pickup. The S-1 switch extends the guitar's sonic/ possibilities even further with pickup positions that are not possible with classic Strats. It goes without saying: This guitar is adaptable and suitable for professional use.

About Fender

Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today’s music industry.

A real workhorse

The Fender Stratocaster is the best-selling guitar in the world, and Fender offers different versions of this guitar shape. These range from models that are built traditionally and according to original specifications for a real vintage feeling, all the way through several intermediate stages to the all-round modern Ultra series. In other words, there are Strats for every taste and price point. If you are afraid of compromising your sound with noiseless pickups, you can rest assured: Guitarists like Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Jeff Beck – who are responsible for creating some of the world’s most revered guitar tones – have long used noiseless single-coil pickups in their Strats. What is more, the AM Ultra Strat uses the very latest version of these pickups. Overall, this guitar doesn’t want to be a vintage collector's item: It demands to be played.

Nothing to be jealous of a custom shop
George Dmk 03.07.2022
After having in my possession this instrument for more than a year I decided to wright down my honest opinion. This is one of the most premium guitars I have ever had, and I say this given that a lot of expensive guitars have passed through my hands over the years. The Fender AM ultra quickly became my main guitar for a bunch of reasons. First of all it sounds amazing, it's very resonant and feels great to play. The neck is way more comfortable and fast than you can imagine and the guitar is very well built, with care to the details from the factory. However, I made some mods to adjust it in my own taste which is: replaced the bridge pickup with a full sized humbucker and wired the s1 switch to only split the coils of the humbucker. The middle and the neck pickups are the closest thing to classic vintage fender pickups but in a noiseless form. Also, although, I use the tremolo bar quite a lot, the guitar stays in tune no matter what, and for me this is one of the most important things. Finally, this particular color, "cobra blue", is really unique, and combined with the maple neck, they form one of the most beautiful guitars out there! I clearly recommend it without a second thought! You can't go wrong with this instrument!

Wie gut ist modern?
New-Horizons 08.08.2020
Die Strat hat mich komplett umgehauen!

1A makellos verarbeitet! Die Strat sieht mit dem "Aged" Schlag- und Griffbrett einfach unglaublich aus. Dazu das Cobra Blue. Die Photos von Thomann werden der Lackierung nicht gerecht. In Persona sieht das ganze nochmal besser aus.

Ich nutze die Strat für hauptsächlich Hendrix-Cover. Die Ultra-Serie nutzt die neuesten Noiseless Pickups. Hier ist der "60 cycle hum" weniger präsent aber dennoch nicht ganz verschwunden.

Dem "Vintage-Hardcore-Custom-Shop-Fan" gefallen diese Pickups wohl nicht. Ich muss dazu allerdings sagen: Für mich klingen sie super und die Gitarre klingt ordentlich nach Strat!

Fender hat hier eine moderne Strat gezaubert ohne den Flair dieses Klassikers zu verlieren! Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Comprare questa chitarra è stato come realizzare un sogno.
scott1986 06.09.2022
Allora per prima cosa devo ringraziare i ragazzi di Thomann.de per l'estrema professionalità, cordialità e disponibilità che mi hanno dato da quando ho pagato la chitarra al momento della consegna a casa. Fatto questo passiamo al lato spedizione... Allora al momento dell'acquisto la chitarra non rra ancora disponibile infatti ho dovuto attendere che arrivasse ai magazzini di Thomann per poi attendere la spedizione che non solo è stata velocissima (da previsione doveva arrivare dopo una settimana, invece, ci ha messo solo 3 giorni) ma è stata anche molto accurata perché era avvolta in 2 cartoni spessi con all'interno della carta arrotolata a far da ulteriore paraurti. Passiamo al unboxing: la chitarra viene venduta con la sua custodia rigida a valigia marcata Fender ovviamente che praticamente "blinda" la chitarra al suo interno. Apprna ho aperto la valigia e dato un veloce sguardo allo strumento mi è subito scesa una lacrima di commozione per l'estrema bellezza che il colore "cobra blue" dona alla chitarra (le foto e i video che si trovano in giro non rendono giustizia alla sua reale bellezza). Ho cambiato le corde togliendo quelle di fabbrica e mettendo le ELIXIR 09-42 e il suono magico che esce dalla chitarra mi ha completamente stregato e fatto innamorare di questo gioiello. Infatti non solo ha un suono classico fender Stratocaster ma strizza l'occhio anche a delle sonorità più moderne. Questa meraviglia è molto versatile e si rivolge al chitarrista moderno ge vuole suonare un po' tutti i generi. In coppia con l'amplificatore FENDER MUSTANG LT50 mi sono sentito come se stessi facendo un concerto live per i suoni che riuscivo a ricavare dalla loro combinazione. In conclusione, materiali top, spedizione veloce, assistenza clienti da far invidia ai migliori negozi.... È un acquisto che rifarei ad occhi chiusi.
