The new Tiger’s Eye versions of the Fender Ultra Series. The Stratocaster, Telecaster and Precision Bass are all getting the flame-top treatment, with a black headstock, matching black plastics and a stunning amber burst finish.
Each model comes equipped with a Modern D neck, which features an asymmetrical contour, a 10"-14" compound radius fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets. This makes the Ultra models among the most comfortable for players seeking a contemporary instrument that will keep up with the demands of the modern guitarist. (Guitar World)
Rounding out the specs sheet is a set of Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups and advanced wiring, which provide the classic tones you’ve come to expect from a Fender instrument, just without the pesky hum and unwanted noise.
The limited edition Tiger’s Eye models are currently exclusive to Guitar Center but also available to purchase at Musician’s Friend, one of Guitar Center’s subsidiary companies.

Ushering in the high-end range, Fender wrote, “In the spring of 1954, Fender introduced the Stratocaster – forever changing the music world. From its contoured, double-cutaway body to its three single-coil pickups and all-new synchronized tremolo, the Strat carved its way into the next seven decades of music as an unparalleled icon as Guitar World report.
The Limited Edition Fat 1954 design, by comparison, offers some standard relic treatment and a wider range of aesthetic options for those looking to channel the ‘54 flair without the sunburst colorway.
