The Fender 70th Anniversary American Ultra Stratocaster HSS in Amethyst is part of the special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster range. It features a stunning pearly iridescent, a special Humbucker and 2 x Single Coil pickup config, and comes complete with a Black Tweed Hardshell Case.
As expected, the fundamentals are still here for this special 70th Anniversary model, with that classic double cutaway body, iconic headstock, versatile range of tones and of course, that legendary Fender playability.
Fender have loaded this special 70th Anniversary Ultra HSS Strat with a 70th Anniversary Ultra Quadra Tap Humbucker in the bridge position, paired with special 70th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless single coil pickups in the neck and middle position, for supreme tonal range and versatility. The single coils pickups excel in producing vintage style tone with that all important noise-free performance, whilst the humbucker delivers added power with the addition of access to single coil tone bridge tones (without the volume drop) via way of the S1 switch. In additon an S1 Switch on Tone 1 Activates the Hot Voicing.
The Fender American Ultra Strat HSS body follows classic Strat lines, with the addition of new body contouring adding to the high-performance feel. A new ultra satin finished Modern D profiled neck complete with rolled fingerboard edges and a tapered neck heel, allow for supreme playing comfort whilst giving access to the higher register. The maple fingerboard has a speedy 10"-14" compound radius, perfect for chord and soloing, and hosts 22 medium jumbo frets and dot inlays.
Other features include the locking, all short-post tuning machines, that provide increased break angle at the nut for buzz-free performance whilst the smooth two-point modern tremolo adds emotive touches to your performance without sacrificing your tuning.
With its array of contemporary appointments, classic styling, exceptional feel and modern tone the Fender 70th Anniversary Ultra Strat HSS is a true performer!
