Includes case. Includes Roland GK-3 Synth Pickup systems. American Made. Minor blemishes only.Fender Stratocaster Ultra was the "crowning act" of the Strat Plus series and was their highest end production model, just under the Custom Shop guitars. They were introduced in 1990 and Fender ended production in 1998. All Ultras will say "Ultra" on the neck plate except for some of the very first produced in 1990. I am thinking that they must have had the plates in making or it was a cool afterthought.Since this was part of the Strat Plus lineup, they had most of the features of the Strat Plus, such a roller nut, Lace Sensor pickups, locking tuners, Schaller strap locks, and a 2-point american bridge. But there was some significant difference from the standard Plus line, such as all Chrome parts, such as the Wilkinson Nut and the Schaller tuners and Bridge saddles. The neck is much like that on the Plus and the Plus DX models, with 22-fret skunk striped Maple neck with a nice C style radius and a bi-flex truss rod, but used an Ebony fretboard with medium-jumbo frets. The ebony was usually rather dark which showed off the real abalone dot inlays. The Ultra was the only production Stratocasters, that I know of, with Ebony on the fretboard instead of Rosewood or Maple. In the middle of 1993 Fender changed the Wilkinson nut to the improved LSR Roller Nut. These reduce the friction when using the tremolo and tuning. On the LSR each string rides on a set of roller bearings. On the Wilkinson nut the strings ride on a roller pin. Great for staying in tune when diving with the Tremolo!
