Fender American Ultra II Strat HSS Dealer Exclusive w/ Case – Graffiti Yellow

The Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS Dealer Exclusive in Graffiti Yellow combines Fender's most advanced American-made Stratocaster platform with a unique dealer-exclusive pickup configuration and an eye-catching finish. This 2026 Fender American Ultra II Strat HSS pairs a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker with Custom Shop Stratocaster single-coil pickups for an exceptionally versatile range of classic and modern electric guitar tones.

Finished in a vivid Graffiti Yellow, this American Ultra II Stratocaster is as striking visually as it is sonically. The quartersawn roasted maple neck, 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard, sculpted Ultra contours, stainless-steel tremolo saddles, locking tuners, and S-1 switching give this Stratocaster the premium playability and versatility expected from Fender's flagship American Ultra II series.

This particular guitar is brand new and includes the Fender hardshell case.

A Dealer-Exclusive Fender American Ultra II Strat

The American Ultra II series represents Fender's premium approach to the modern Stratocaster, combining traditional Fender design with advanced construction, refined ergonomics, and professional-level hardware.

What makes this example especially interesting is its dealer-exclusive HSS pickup configuration. Instead of the standard American Ultra II HSS pickup package, this guitar features Custom Shop Stratocaster single-coils in the neck and middle positions alongside a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker at the bridge.

That combination gives this Graffiti Yellow Strat a broad tonal palette, from articulate Stratocaster cleans and glassy in-between sounds to thicker, more aggressive bridge-humbucker tones.

The S-1 switching system adds even more flexibility by allowing the bridge humbucker to be split for additional single-coil-style sounds.

Graffiti Yellow Finish – A Standout American Stratocaster

The Graffiti Yellow finish gives this American Ultra II Stratocaster an unmistakable presence.

Bright, bold, and highly distinctive, the finish is complemented by the guitar's black anodized aluminum pickguard and contrasting light-colored controls. It's a particularly striking combination for players looking for an American Fender Stratocaster that stands apart from more traditional finishes.

The result is a modern, high-performance Stratocaster that still retains the unmistakable silhouette and character of the classic Fender design.

Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker + Custom Shop Strat Pickups

The pickup configuration is one of the defining features of this dealer-exclusive Fender.

At the neck and middle positions are Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster single-coil pickups, providing the articulate, expressive response associated with classic Strat tones.

At the bridge is a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker, adding a thicker and more powerful voice for overdriven rhythm work, lead playing, rock, blues, and heavier styles.

The HSS configuration makes this Fender particularly versatile:

• Neck pickup for warm, articulate Stratocaster tones
• Neck + middle for classic Strat "in-between" sounds
• Middle pickup for clear, punchy single-coil tones
• Bridge + middle for bright, cutting textures
• Bridge humbucker for thicker, more powerful tones

The S-1 switch further expands the tonal possibilities by splitting the Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker.

Whether you're recording in the studio, performing live, or looking for one guitar capable of covering a wide range of musical styles, this HSS configuration offers an impressive amount of tonal flexibility.

Modern Fender Ultra II Playability

The American Ultra II Stratocaster is designed around effortless playability.

The quartersawn roasted maple neck features Fender's Modern "D" profile and a smooth Ultra Satin finish. Its 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard transitions from a comfortable radius in the lower register to a flatter playing surface higher up the neck.

The fingerboard also features Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, and Luminlay side dots, while the sculpted neck heel and Ultra body contours provide improved access to the upper frets.

With 22 frets and Fender's familiar 25.5" scale length, the result is a Stratocaster that feels immediately recognizable while offering the refined ergonomics expected from Fender's flagship American series.

Premium American Ultra II Hardware

This Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster is equipped with professional-grade hardware throughout.

The 2-Point American Ultra Synchronized Tremolo features polished stainless-steel block saddles, a cold-rolled steel block, and a convenient pop-in tremolo arm. The bridge is designed for smooth vibrato performance while maintaining excellent tuning stability.

Deluxe short-post locking tuners provide a more consistent string break angle over the nut while making string changes quick and straightforward.

The guitar also features Fender's Ultra String Guide, locking strap buttons, soft-touch control knobs, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and a 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
