Seven decades in, and the Fender Stratocaster is still firing on all cylinders — especially considering this 70th-anniversary Ultra Stratocaster HSS model from Music Experience! Laden with confident familiarities yet bustling with contemporary upgrades, the 70th-anniversary Ultra Strat HSS is a top-tier 6-string that’s determined to speak to every generation. Case in point: its noiseless pickup design and Quadra-Tap humbucker stationed at the bridge! Accompanied with a modern “D” neck profile, you’ve still got that timeless Strat charm but with a fresh edge that can accommodate virtually any musical direction you venture in. Additionally, its Ultra 2-point tremolo bridge, genuine bone nut, and sealed locking tuners give the 70th-anniversary Ultra Strat HSS a massive leg up on other axes in the performance dependability department, ensuring naturally flawless play for years of music making.
This alder-bodied 70th-anniversary Ultra Strat HSS supplies a weight that maintains that performer-fluid over-the-shoulder feel that everybody covets in genuine Stratocaster. In hand, players will absolutely love how the modern “D” neck profile hits the palm. This shape provides a hint of that more traditionally wide cut, with optimized profiling for a command that affords guitarists of many hand types a comfortable grasp. Topped with a maple fingerboard, the brilliantly articulate response you’ll gain from every note promises vivid playability to meet the standards of myriad playing styles.
With noiseless pickups configured to an HHS arrangement, not to mention dual Tone controls and a master Volume at your disposal, the 70th-anniversary Ultra Strat HSS kicks down the door to a realm of near-endless sonic possibilities with crystal clear broadcasting. At the bridge, Fender’s 70th-anniversary Ultra Quadra-Tap humbucker guarantees aggressive and full-sounding dual-coil delivery with superb attack, offering lead lines and riffs that cut through just about any mix with ease. Ahead of this humbucker is a pair of 70th-anniversary Ultra Noiseless Strat single-coils, which can be counted on to carry out the dutiful dimensionality of those classic Strat pickups — but with a mere fraction of the hum! From clean Robert Cray solos to scorching SRV riffing and just about any Strat tone in between, the 70th-anniversary Ultra Strat HSS never misses a beat.
Dial in any Strat tone you desire, and keep the volume cranked with complete confidence in knowing that the rock-steady reinforcements throughout the 70th-anniversary Ultra Strat HSS have your back. It starts with a super-reliable Ultra 2-point tremolo bridge, giving players the expressive freedom to pitch dip and dive to their heart’s content without a detrimental toll on their intonation. Backing this reliability is a collection of sealed locking tuners at the headstock, ensuring precise intonation and fine gear adjustments to maintain optimal tuning for any situation. Factor in 22 medium-jumbo frets and a genuine bone nut for pro-grade and all-natural playing response, and it’s easy to see how this high-performance 6-string got its name!
