Fender Ultra Luxe 50s Strat MN WBL

Fender Ultra Luxe 50s Strat MN WBL review

The Fender Ultra Luxe 50s Strat MN WBL is an American-made, six-string electric guitar with an ash body, a maple neck and fingerboard, three single-coil pickups, and a synchronized tremolo. Its White Blonde finish, parchment pickguard, and black mother-of-pearl dot inlays give the specification a vintage-influenced appearance. The listed price is 3045, with no currency specified in the supplied information.

This assessment is based exclusively on the published specifications. No customer reviews are available, and there is no hands-on testing information to support claims about tone, tuning stability, comfort, or finish quality. The details below explain what the hardware and construction specify, while leaving those performance questions open.

Body, finish, and neck construction

The body is made of ash, with no separate top. Its White Blonde finish is described as an heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer. That identifies the finish material and the model's appearance, but the specification does not state the lacquer's thickness or provide durability testing. Fender lists nickel and chrome hardware, a single-ply parchment pickguard, and black mother-of-pearl dot fingerboard inlays.

The maple neck attaches to the body with a bolt-on joint, and the fingerboard is also maple. The neck profile is an augmented D shape. The fingerboard radius compounds from 10 inches to 14 inches, or 254 to 355.6 mm. This gives the fingerboard a more curved radius at one end and a flatter radius at the other. The spec sheet does not identify the exact transition point or provide a neck thickness measurement, so the profile's fit in the hand cannot be established from the numbers alone.

The 25.5-inch scale, equivalent to 648 mm, is a familiar full-length format. Nut width is 1.685 inches, or 42.8 mm, and the nut material is TUSQ. The guitar has 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel is a distinct fret material, but the available data does not include fret height, fretwork tolerances, or setup measurements.

Pickups and controls

Three Pure Vintage '57 Strat single-coil pickups provide the specified pickup layout. Fender pairs them with one master volume control, two tone controls, and a five-way pickup selector. An S-1 switch is integrated into the master volume control. The supplied information does not describe the S-1 switching combinations, so its precise effect on the circuit should not be assumed.

The three-pickup layout and five-way selector offer several selectable pickup positions on the control specification. However, there are no output measurements, wiring diagrams, or recorded examples in the data provided. Descriptions of brightness, noise, output level, or suitability for a particular genre would require testing beyond these facts.

Tremolo and tuning hardware

The bridge is a two-point Deluxe synchronized tremolo with a pop-in arm. The specification identifies the mounting style and arm attachment, but does not give a setup range, bridge travel measurement, or test results for return to pitch. Sealed deluxe cast locking tuning machines are included. Locking tuners secure the string at the tuning post, though the presence of locking hardware alone does not establish tuning stability under tremolo use.

The listed strings are Fender USA 250L nickel-plated steel in gauges.009 to.042. The guitar includes a deluxe hardshell case and does not include a gig bag. These are useful purchase details, particularly for buyers comparing what is supplied with the instrument.

What the specifications establish

• Construction: Ash body, bolt-on maple neck, maple fingerboard, and nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
• Playing dimensions: 25.5-inch scale, 1.685-inch nut width, compound 10-to-14-inch fingerboard radius, and 22 stainless steel frets.

Bottom line

The Ultra Luxe 50s Strat MN WBL combines traditional Stratocaster-style materials and pickup placement with stainless steel frets, locking tuners, a compound-radius fingerboard, and a two-point tremolo. Those details define its construction and hardware without confirming how it sounds or feels in use. Because no customer feedback or hands-on findings are available, prospective buyers should try the guitar and verify its setup, switching behavior, and tremolo performance before making a decision. Fender lists the model as available since August 2025, item number 620276, and made in the United States.
