Frequently Asked Questions
The Ultra II pickups retain the classic Strat character but with significantly reduced noise and a slightly more focused, articulate tone – less muddy than some vintage examples.
The Modern 'D' profile is a bit thinner and more consistent than many older Fender necks, offering a more comfortable feel for players accustomed to modern guitar designs.
The aluminum pickguard is quite durable but can be susceptible to surface scratches; a pickguard protector is a worthwhile investment for maintaining its appearance.
