I have both, a 2019 Professional and Elite. My Elite is beautiful with an Ebony board which has no streaking in it. I like the tone of the Professional better. What I would like from Fender is my 2019 Professional exactly as is but add a contoured heel joint and a 12" radius with that Deep C carve. That would be PERFECT!

@Walks-With-Pride 4 года назад

A superb video! Both guitars sound great, but I think I´d prefer to have the Ultra Strat. The only thing I don`t like about either is the shape of the tremolo bar. I prefer the classic style bar shape with the plastic end cap.

@nathanjones2447 4 года назад

The 'in series' mode the elite has is great, giving humbucker like sounds, and with the ultra it simply adds the neck p-up in parallel. I have the elite from 2016 and its 'played-in' and my favorite guitar apart from a Suhr I recently bought which I have to admit is on another level.

@craigthomson3621 2 года назад

I like the heel sculpting and the Gen 5 pickups in the Ultra, and I like the Ebony fretboard and Truss Rod Wheel adjustment in the Elite. I understand those who say the Elite S1 switching is complex, but it does give you more tonal options than the Ultra. The different neck shapes are a matter of personal choice. I have a lefty Elite with Ebony board, and I changed the pickups for a set of lefty Abigail Ybarras. I also have a stock lefty Ultra as my “noiseless single coil” guitar. One day I may take the Ultra to my luthier and hand him the Elite S1 wiring diagrams and say replicate that in the Ultra. Another option would be to replace the S1 with a Freeway 5B5-01 ten position blade switch.

Honestly, I play acoustic guitars but this year discovered a love for electrics. So I have a few and Ive done a crazy amount of listening and researching. I really like the look of the Ultra but the sound of the Elite is amazing. It’s a pity that Fender is not going to make both available because I’m sure there are enough ears, tastes and buyers to accomodate both. Thanks for a great review! I may just rush off to find an Elite before they have all gone!

The fretboard on that white elite is badass. No mistaking it for another if it’s yours. You could spot that thing from across the room. I have a candy apple red Gretsch, hollow body with a similar stripe in the Rosewood. It’s super cool.

@leoarjuncrasto 2 года назад

Bro I also suggest the Mojotone 58 quite coils. I have the American Elite magnificent 7 (2 tone bust maple top, rosewood neck) and my brother has the American Ultraluxe. I gigged the hell out of the Elite guitar and ate through the frets in about 6 years. I recently got it refretted with Jescar SS 57110 and compound radiused it to 12-16 inch with the mojotone 58 quite coils. I can truly say it feels way better than the Ultraluxe. The elite imho is the best playing guitar in the world right now (the C to D shape is almost like the neck on Guthrie Govan's Charvel) even though the websitr doesn't mention it remember that the elite's neck and Charvel necks are almost identical with the Truss rod adjustment at the bottom), And the feel for me is way better than my Custom Suhr as well 😂. I guess when I got my Luthier to work on my guitar he really polished the work done from the factory.

@BrettSmithDaniels 4 года назад

The thing is, everything Fender makes is such good quality that with all these high end models, nothing is better, only different. My personal preference, sound wise, would be the elite, because I love the darker sound it has - but I love the look of the ultra. Shame I'll never afford either now that gigs are banned due to Covid-19 🙃

@stevemac3752 4 года назад

Ok there's a clear difference in the high end between the 2. The Ultra sounds alot more trebly. My first thought is....are the tone settings for each guitar the exact same?....because it sounds like the tone control an the strat has been turned way down low. I've listened to a few demo videos on Elite strats and they sound nothing like this (I own a Tele elite myself). Also the volume on the Ultra is way higher.

@tecnoline57 3 года назад

Hello, Congratulations on the tests. I would have to choose between a new STATOCASTER VINTERA 50 MAPLE NECK and a STATOCASTER AMERICAN ELITE MAPLE NECK ex demo (with guarantees) at the same price.

@@AlamoMusic sure, it's their call to offer what they want. I predict they will offer SS frets in a few years and make a big deal about it.

@MusicTherapyLaz 4 года назад

@@BenBreard I totally agree with you on several counts Ben...if you're saying the Ultra is the most "modern" Strat...where Fender has never gone before...why not go right at their competition like Suhr, Keisel, etc...and use SS frets, go back to the spoke wheel truss Adjustment, put the neck tilt adjustment back, and offer all colors with all three neck options, like maple fretboard with the Cobra Blue in HSS, not just in SSS??? I liked how it felt a lot when I played it...they're definitely not worried about offending the traditionalist with the, dare I say...Silver Sky-like neck heel and horn carve, or with the more 'shredder" flat D shaped neck and satin finish...so why not go all the way?

@donaldtrump2078 4 года назад

Right now the Elite can be bought at a great price while they last and is a quality instrument, as for the pups they can always be changed, but a good amp and some tweaking can solve any tone issues if any! I personally would not spend the 2 thousand plus on the ultra because it's just not a daylight and dark difference for the price.

@1davejsutdave1 4 года назад

I had an Ultra, took it back and got a mint used Elite (In Olympic Pearl). Neck is better, frets are better, more sounds you can get out of it. Better colors (Cobra Blue is the best of the lot and looks amazing with the Cream PG and PUs) too, the Ultras have obnoxious colors. I don't see where Fender is giving you $200 more guitar over the Elite which is odd since the Elita has more features. Pickguards won't be an issue IMO as they made that guard enough years. Honestly the only think I like on the Ultras is the tint. They both play smooth. I will say every single Ultra I played h ad really bad fret bulge. Whether that's the temp or the new/old rolled neck who knows. Lots of them has lacquer on the frets too. Not sure if quality control is just bad right now. Now here's the part to read: MOST OF THE EARLY ULTRAS HAVE GEN 4 PICKUPS. I'd wager the one they're playing has them. Watch trogs video on his Texas Tea strat and Fender's response. They pretty much admitted they made Ultras with Gen 4 until they ran out or something. So all those first ones probably isn't gen 5. If you do pull the trigger on an Ultra have your guitar tech/luthier pull the pick guard off and check the pickups. those launch strats are rip offs IMO.

@1davejsutdave1 4 года назад

@@ShamanicSavant I mean I owned both. The fret spout may have been the winter. The one thing I prefer the elite on is the the pick configuration of what the S1 switch does. It's really kinda boring on the Ultras. Also they shaved a lot of wood off to make the back scalloped, not a fan of less wood on any strats but again it's knitpicky stuff. The main reason I took my ultra back and got the elite is the pickups switching gave so much more versatility. Other than that they're both great guitars. Asymmetrical necks are love hate I definitely like it but I loved the neck on the ultra too.

Your HSS is far more versatile than any Ultra. It has more tonal variations, passing lane switch, truss rod adjustment wheel, and I, too, prefer its neck over Ultra's.
