Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The American Ultra II Stratocaster uses three Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Strat pickups, selected by a five-way blade. Pressing the S-1 control brings the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2, expanding the available combinations without changing guitars. A quartersawn maple Modern D neck with Ultra satin finish joins a 10–14 inch compound-radius maple fingerboard. Rolled board edges, a tapered neck heel, sculpted alder contours, and Luminlay side dots focus the design on fluid movement across the neck and visibility in low light.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want three noiseless Vintage Strat pickups plus extra neck-pickup combinations.
- Low-light stage use where Luminlay side dots help locate positions.
- Tremolo-equipped Strat setups that benefit from locking tuners for quick tuning changes.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a bridge humbucker; this is an SSS pickup configuration.
- Left-handed players; the guitar is specified as right handed.
