This Am Ultra II Strat is a seriously well-built instrument.

It’s a premium-priced Strat, but a great option for players who want modern playability with vintage Strat aesthetics and tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Ultra II pickups retain the classic Strat chime but significantly reduce noise and hum while providing slightly higher output and clarity.
It offers a snappier, more direct response than a set-neck, which some players prefer; it’s a design choice that prioritizes stability and ease of repair over a more complex tonal character.
The stainless steel block and locking string riders provide excellent stability, allowing for wide vibrato sweeps without significant tuning issues, making it much more reliable than vintage-style tremolos.
