Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Avalanche American Ultra II Stratocaster combines a select alder Strat body with sculpted contours, a quartersawn maple Modern D neck, and a 10–14-inch compound-radius maple fingerboard. Three Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups feed a five-way blade switch, with the S-1 control adding the neck pickup to positions 1 and 2. The tapered heel supports access to upper frets, while Luminlay side dots aid visibility in low light. A two-point synchronized tremolo, locking tuners and Deluxe molded case round out the package.
