Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The HSS American Ultra II Stratocaster gives a right-handed player a Haymaker humbucker at the bridge alongside Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups in the neck and middle positions. Pickup choices run through a five-way blade, with the S-1 master-volume switch splitting the bridge humbucker. The quartersawn maple Modern D neck has an Ultra satin finish and joins a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with a 10–14 inch compound radius. Sculpted contours, a tapered heel and Luminlay side dots address upper-neck access and dark-stage reference points.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players needing upper-fret access and side-dot visibility during dark-stage performance.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Left-handed players; this is a right-handed instrument.
  • Players looking for an SSS configuration with three single-coil pickups.
