EDIT: It's like these guitars keep popping up out of nowhere, I'll stop updating it for now...

The Ultra also has that push-push switch on the top volume knob.
Edit: I know the Ultra has locking tuners. I don't think the AmProII does. The additional contour around the neck area is pretty nice.
Both are great guitars. Having played both, I would say that the NECK may be the biggest factor in choosing between the two. They are distinct from one another and is the reason I picked up a gently used Ultra a while ago, playing it back and forth vs. an Am Pro II. Granted, the Elite I bought had an ebony fingerboard, but that aside you're looking at two different neck profiles and two different fret types.
The Ultra will be a 10"-14" compound radius D-shape while the Am Pro II is a straight 9.5" radius C-shape. The Ultra will have Med Jumbo frets, the Am Pro II will have Tall Narrow. For me personally, the frets were the biggest difference. I own a 9.5" Am Std Tele I love... the neck is great, but the frets are Med Jumbo which I prefer over others I've played and is consistent with the other guitars I own. I had one other Tall Narrow fretted guitar I sold, the frets being a factor in why I got rid of it.
YMMV - Some people love and prefer the Tall Narrow over Med Jumbos. And, again, I think the neck radius and shape are notably different, but both very comfortable to play in their own rights. The frets, to me, made the bigger different and short of swapping an entire neck, doing a refret isn't something I'd casually do myself, unlike a pickup swap.
Amazing prices for those that found something they liked!

I was just at the Fender Flagship store in Tokyo and played a bunch of special Japanese strats + a few American strats and for me the Ultra was the best playing one, the one the felt most right to me. Tried really hard to like some really cool looking signature strats there but again, the American Ultra was just perfect for me.
Great deal. Thanks for sharing!
