Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage
'50s Stratocaster – Heirloom Finish

Classic 1950s Feel, Modern Ultra Performance

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster is a masterclass in refinement—blending classic vintage aesthetics with the most advanced features Fender has ever built into a Strat. This model from the new Ultra Luxe Vintage Series honors the iconic ‘50s style while pushing tonal and performance boundaries for today's discerning player.

The body—crafted from select ash or alder—is finished in a beautifully aged Heirloom™ lacquer and carved with Ultra contours for comfort and elegance. A quartersawn maple neck with a Modern “D” profile, compound-radius fingerboard, Ultra rolled edges, and Luminlay® side dots ensures smooth playability in every position.

Equipped with a trio of Pure Vintage ’57 Strat® single-coil pickups, this Strat delivers timeless Fender sparkle, rich mids, and expressive articulation. The S-1™ switching system adds extra tonal flexibility without compromising the familiar 5-way layout.

With its stainless steel frets, Graph Tech TUSQ® nut, and a 2-point synchronized tremolo featuring cold rolled steel block and polished block saddles, the American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster is built to perform—and last.
