Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This American Stratocaster is Handmade in Corona California. Not only is this Guitar attractive, it is a pleasure to play, Simply Effortless! Does it feel different from the player plus line? Yes Big Time! I do love my Player Plus Guitars, however the American Ultra line is a noticeable step up. The Fender Ultra Strat is truly a professional instrument. Go For it!!

The Neck on the Amethyst 70th Anniversary Ultra Strat is thin and fast, very comfortable, The hot switch works and sounds as it should. Mine came with Strap locks.
