What we have here is a 1993 Fender Ultra in very good condition; few small scratches being that its over twenty three years old but nothing deep ; just minor wear scratches. Comes with a nice heavy leather strap with strap locks and a tweed case. What you see is what you get.
 The Strat Ultra featured an  body with flamed maple top and back veneers , and  pickups. Depending on the production year, the guitar featured 3-ply white-black-white or aged white pearloid pickguard. Early versions had an American Deluxe 2-point bridge, later versions were delivered with either a Deluxe pop-in bridge or a . It was the first post-CBS era Fender guitar to feature an  fingerboard (not from Madagascar)  with  dot position markers (some earlier models came with regular white dots). Introduced in 1990, it was discontinued in 1997.
Unlike the Plus and Deluxe Plus, which usually featured Sperzel tuners, the Strat Ultra was the first guitar to feature Schaller staggered locking machine heads. Anyhow it is common to find Sperzel tuners on older Strat Ultra and Plus Deluxe models can feature Schaller locking tuners too.This model has a dual Red  pickup in the bridge position and a single  pickup in each of the middle (Gold) and neck (Blue) positions. In addition to the 5-way pickup selector switch, the volume and the tone knobs, these guitars include a TBX tone circuit for the middle/bridge pickups, and a 3-way "mini-toggle" that allows the dual Lace Sensor to be operated with the two sensors in series (double coil pick-up, middle position) or selecting one of the two single-coil pickups (top and bottom positions). The 5-way switch is a so called super-switch and it is wired is such a way that in the middle position it enable both the neck and bridge pickups instead of the middle pick-up that is enable only in combination with the bridge or the neck pickup. In this way, considering that the bridge pick-up has 3 possible configurations, the total pickup combinations available are eleven. Some earlier Strat Ultras came with a Silver Lace Sensor in the middle position.The Strat Ultra was manufactured between 1990 and 1997 and replaced by the  models in 1998. Its operation and pickup configuration are similar to the  and  guitars, manufactured roughly during the same period.
