The Strat Ultra had an alder body with flamed maple veneer top and back. The early versions had an American Deluxe 2-point bridge but later models had either the Deluxe pop-in bridge or a Fender Deluxe locking tremolo. The fingerboard was ebony with abalone dot position markers (although some early models had regular white dots). The Strat Ultra had Schaller staggered locking machine heads.
