Fresh off the unveiling of its new Noventa line, and its latest series of signature guitars, Fender has pulled back the curtain on its latest, top-of-the-line models, the American Ultra Luxe series.
This line of four Strats and Teles features Augmented “D” neck profiles with ultra rolled fingerboard edges, tapered neck heels, and 10”-14” compound-radius fretboards boasting 22 frets. Notably, the guitars' frets are stainless steel, to our knowledge a first for Fender.
The guitars also feature bone nuts and advanced wiring options, and visual appointments that include matching painted headstocks, sculpted rear contours, and chrome hardware.
You can learn more about the new models – each of which also comes with a molded hardshell case – below.
