Fender Strat Plus Ultra - USA 1993

From Fender: 

‘Only one can be the best, and the best deserve our new Strat Ultra. It is the ultimate reward for talent, sweat and musicianship. We created the Strat Ultra for the working pro - the musician who's been there and back. You're not taken in by look-alikes or by wild claims. You'll know what Strat Ultra is by the feel and sound of it. You'll know it's that special guitar you hoped someone would make for you, someday.  

The Strat Ultra gives you every voice from warm jazz to crying blues. From classic single coil bite to the heaviest metal crunch, the patented Fender-Lace sensors sing out like no pickup you've played before. Its impressive sounds, dazzling looks and timeless design are complemented by an unprecedented list of high-performance features. You've paid your dues, you deserve the Fender Strat Ultra. Possibly the most versatile guitar ever created for the working pro.’ 

This 1993 Strat Plus Ultra presents in excellent condition, it is as-new. The gorgeous Mystic Black finish is unblemished, the neck is clean and smooth, the frets show zero sign of wear – although this instrument is 31 years old, it could have come out of the factory yesterday! 

It comes in its original Fender hardshell case with Fender lead and case candy.
