The Fender® American Ultra II Meteora® features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Ebony or quartersawn maple 10”-14” compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register.
Under the hood, a pair of Haymaker™ humbuckers deliver everything from sweet cleans to modern crunch and searing leads, all without a hint of hum. Our patented S-1™ switch cleverly splits the Haymakers for even more tonal variety, and you can further sculpt your tone with both conventional master tone control plus a carefully voiced bass cut knob. Additional road-ready features include 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail with polished stainless steel block saddles, deluxe locking tuners, knurled aluminum knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
The American Ultra II Meteora infuses iconic style with advanced appointments to take your playing to stratospheric new heights. For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility and limitless performance, American Ultra II delivers.
