American Ultra is our most advanced series of guitars and basses for discerning players who demand the ultimate in precision, performance and tone.

A speedy 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets means effortless action, while the Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage pickups and redesigned preamp provide endless tonal possibilities - without hum. The sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional. This versatile, state-of-the-art instrument will inspire you to push your playing to new heights.
