Ultra Strat Surf Green
Very happy with the buy.
I've wanted a Strat for a while and also a Maple fret board/neck, never had one, and loved Surf Green. Love the Ultra Noiseless, can get all the stratty out of phase sound I want in 2 and 4. The two point trem feels great, the guitar has stayed in tune even with a little beating, likely the locking tuners and bone nut. I love the finish on the neck, plays great, no sticking etc.. I like the profile of the neck (easy to get my thumb on 6) but have not been above 12 enough yet to say about the compound radius but so far I like it. Pics are of the Strat I bought and provided by Sweetwater.
Best Stratocaster I have ever owned or played
This American Ultra strat is absolutely perfect, and the modern features make the original design so much better. The compound radius fretboard makes big bends easy, the medium jumbo frets make sliding into notes a breeze, the neck shape and contour heel are absolutely perfect and feel amazing and the string saver saddles keep the guitar perfectly in tune with heavy trem use.
This guitar came perfectly setup even though I did not pay for a separate setup, out of the 20 guitars I own this guitar came with the best setup, fretjob, and the most perfectly cut nut I have ever experienced. This guitar was really built beautifully by fender and handled amazing by sweetwater.
The pickups are the fender noiseless, and they have amazing quack and a true strat sound, even with gain all that stupid hum and hiss is completely gone.
The surf green finish is custom shop level gorgeous and the roasted maple neck has awesome texture and patterns and is so smooth.
This guitar will be my life long daily player I really have not ever felt this way about a guitar before. And as always sweetwater really makes the buying process so great and my sales engineer Micheal Ramey is really great on getting everything out on time.
The ultra series is absolutely amazing and this one is spectacular
Amazing!!!
I have tons of guitars in my room and this is the guitar I always grab now. The satin-finished compound neck is so easy to play - absolutely love it!! Kingsley Davis-Uzoechi is the best - this was not my first guitar from Sweetwater and it won't be the last ;-) The surf green color & finish and the wood grain on the neck is even better than the pictures. I could not be happier with this guitar!!!!
