Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster Maple - White Blonde

This is the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Stratocaster in White Blonde with a maple fretboard. This one's built with an ash body, so it leans into that snappy top-end and crisp attack you get from vintage Strats. It's a strong option for players who want the style and feel of a '50s Strat but need something that holds up to modern expectations, especially if you're playing out regularly or recording with some frequency.

 

The ash body is finished in Heirloom nitro, so it's going to wear in naturally over time, and that White Blonde finish lets the grain peek through in a way that feels real sharp without being flashy. You've got a quartersawn maple neck with a Modern "D" shape, stainless steel medium jumbo frets, and a compound radius board that makes both chording and lead work feel balanced and easy. The Pure Vintage '57 pickups give you that clear, scooped Strat voice, and the S-1 switch sneaks in a couple of extra tones that aren't on a typical 5-way setup. Locking tuners and a 2-point trem keep things stable without feeling too stiff.

 

Neck heel is carved for easy upper fret access, and the rolled fretboard edges make this one feel broken-in right out of the case. It's lightweight, responsive, and doesn't fight you when you dig in. We've had a few of these come through and every one has felt incredibly dialed. If you've been holding out for something with vintage tone and modern comfort, this closes that gap well.
