You got a smoking deal my man! I recently purchased a Pro ll in vintage sunburst with a maple fretboard, but when I saw the deals Fender and GC are running for the 4th, I took the plunge and ordered a cobra blue American Ultra with a humbucker in the bridge and rosewood board. 30% off from Fender, 10% off from GC, and 10% in rewards! That's basically $600 off the regular price! I'm kinda excited!

I'll be buying an Ultra HSS with rosewood neck next month! Thanks for the reassurance!

You’re so welcome!

Just got the Ultra Luxe, 2 color burst with rosewood fretboard. I may add a vintage to my collection but I will never part with this.

@Vaz0441 3 дня назад

is it possible to achieve these tones?

@ChrisKobrzak 3 месяца назад

I'm also a happy owner of the Ultra (plasma red RW) and I've been toying with the idea of potentially swapping it with something more vintage like AVRI II or Vintera II or maybe even Am Pro II. But the Ultra really feels so luxurious and playable in comparison. Still... I really, really like the looks of vintage style tuning machines so I've recently replaced these locking tuners with Fender ClassicGear ones. I hope you don't find it too shocking 😃

@IkeGuitar 3 месяца назад

Not at all! I think the Am Pro II is great, but since the prices are so close on the used market, I’m almost always going to get an Ultra if I can find them!

The heel cut out is awesome

@stevecookphotography 27 дней назад

Actually the Ultra Luxe is the top tier. Worth the extra $$ for the stainless frets.

I literally said that 50 seconds in

@Alienadin 3 месяца назад

Yes, it is, and that's why I bought one. Technically the Ultra Luxe is, and I still think the H.M. Strats was the best modern and advanced model Fender has ever made.

@IkeGuitar 3 месяца назад

Interesting take. But you seem like a fusion guy anyway!

@gunsofsteele 3 месяца назад

The S1 switch is garbage. The plastic catch, which keeps it down or up, is cheap as a 50 year old street worker. Do better Fender! I like Texas Tea too. Thanks for the review!

@IkeGuitar 3 месяца назад

That’s fair! To be honest, I very rarely use the S1

@mpalin11 3 месяца назад

The specs on the Ultra might be really good, but personally I found the Noiseless pickups lacking mojo as compared to the Professional. That's why I chose the Professional over the Ultra.

@ajpyyz 23 дня назад

Love the Ultra. Everything except the pickups. May get some vintage ones.

@dcamnc1 3 месяца назад

I want an Ultra Luxe one day.

@IkeGuitar 3 месяца назад

Buy the Ultra and save some money!

@user-dx7is4bi4d 3 месяца назад

Yeah but...has Fender finally designed a usable trem that you can use and the guitar stay in tune...G&L has no locking tuners, no fine tuners,I don't know how they do it but it stays in tune 😊

@tima6044 3 месяца назад

Locking tuners don't affect stability, they just make to easier to restring. A nut lock, though, that'll hold it down nice and stable.

@IkeGuitar 3 месяца назад

Good luck reselling the G&L! Locking tuners make it easier to restring. Doesn’t necessarily affect tuning stability.
