Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an HSS layout, the American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS brings a Haymaker bridge humbucker together with noiseless Hot Strat pickups in the neck and middle positions. The S-1 switch splits the humbucker for another bridge-pickup option. Its sculpted alder body, tapered neck heel, quartersawn maple Modern D neck, and 10–14-inch compound-radius fingerboard are designed to keep upper-fret work and position changes accessible. A 2-point synchronized tremolo and locking tuners complete the hardware package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between clean single-coil sounds and higher-output bridge humbucker parts during a set.
- Lead playing that uses upper frets, supported by the tapered heel and sculpted body contours.
- Players who want a right-handed HSS Stratocaster with a tremolo bridge and locking tuners.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified for right-handed orientation.
