Fender 70th Anniversary American Ultra Stratocaster HSS MN Amethyst Electric Guitar with Black Tweed Case
Product no: 9000-0121-4487 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The guitar-based deity that is the Stratocaster has already been around for over 70 years and has evolved dramatically along the way, bringing us to the Fender 70th Anniversary Ultra Stratocaster HSS: one of the most advanced Strats of all time. The contouring of the solid alder body gives this guitar an immediately balanced and effortless feel and comes in a striking Amethyst paint-job, which plays and colour-shifts depending on the light and angle. This Limited Edition ode to a legend comes complete with a deluxe black tweed case.

The Fender 70th Anniversary Ultra Stratocaster HSS: The Full Range

Fender has loaded this future-proofed Stratocaster with an exclusive 70th Anniversary Ultra Quadra Tap humbucker teamed up with two, just as exclusive 70th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless Strat single-coils. Pop out the special S-1 Switch hidden in the volume pot to coil-tap the humbucker and bring things back to the classic depth and sparkle of a three-single-coil loadout, or pop out the S-1 Switch hidden in the tone pot to access the Hot Voicing mode. This Strat treats you to the full range: warm cleans, rich overdrives and a timeless and satisfying growl. The 2-Point Deluxe Synchronized Tremolo bridge is just yet another bonus perk.

Fender Fast Neck

The maple neck has been roasted and finished with a modern-D profile for a familiar feel in the fret-hand, while the matching maple fretboard has a compound radius that starts at 10 inches at the headstock and progresses to 14 inches at the body - an unheard of setup for a Strat that guarantees light and agile, controlled playability. The fretboard edges have even been rounded off and the back of the neck has been hand-oiled, supporting buttery-smooth fret-navigation all the way up the neck.
