Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage – Modern Precision, Vintage Soul

The Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage is a premium series that blends classic Fender feel with state-of-the-art playability and advanced electronics. Authentic vintage features meet innovative details, making these instruments among the most versatile and player-friendly guitars Fender has ever built.

With Pure Vintage pickups, S-1 switching, a compound radius fingerboard, and medium jumbo stainless steel frets, the Ultra Luxe Vintage delivers both the traditional Fender tone and the modern performance demanded by today’s musicians. The exclusive Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives each instrument a played-in feel from the very first note – while allowing the wood to breathe and age beautifully over time.

Vintage Voice with Modern Finesse

  • Vintage Voiced Pickups – Choose between Pure Vintage ’57, ’61, or ’63 single coils for Stratocaster and Telecaster, plus the Haymaker humbucker in the HSS model. Each pickup is carefully voiced to capture classic Fender tones with clarity and dynamics.
