Can anyone discuss their experience with the player plus vs the ultra?

I have a Nashville player plus and I think it's fantastic.
I love the rolled Fingerboard edges, the comfort carves, 12" Radius, locking tuners, Noiseless pickups...etc.

Quote from fewlio :
that's great, but the most famous an popular fenders will always have no binding. and this will hamper the character/natural relic'ing. strat obviously you can't really even do binding, tele that binding will make this sharper and less rounding (from factory or over time) than a normal tele. It's going to be less comfortable
Huh? The binding is underneath the poly, you'll never notice it. I suggest you play one of these because they are the most comfortable Teles Fender makes. Teles are notoriously uncomfortable because they don't have belly cuts or contours, hence the Strat's "Contour Body".

Yes, the Ultra has a belly cut, and contoured edges, and an accessible neck heel. The person I replied to said it would be less comfortable.

ok genius, where you think your forarm and elbow are gonna be rubbing? back or front? hmmm... LMAO

It is right angle squared off, it is not as rounded edge or capable of wearing round as the normal teles

LoLz PeaceApplause
What are you talking about? The binding is under the poly and the edges are smooth and rounded. I literally own this guitar. Modern Teles with poly finish are not going to wear at all unless you bang them around, that's why people are buying pre-relic'd or nitro finished guitars. You think your arm is wearing through the modern thick poly they use? lol

Now the OTHER two colors are on sale!?! Embarrassment I just ordered the Ultra burst!

Guitar Center will price match if you'd rather get their 45-day return policy.

I just received mine from Adorama and I was disappointed with the condition - it had a lot of fine scratches in the finish and a huge hand print on the back. The box was also opened when I got it, so not sure if it was inspected or returned.

Now I have to try to get Adorama to pay for return shipping.

PSA - If you price match, there is a cash back site out there that's giving 5% back on Guitar Center online purchases... That's $75 back.

Phenomenal guitar. GC price matched through online chat and I got this baby and the gear points from them. Thanks for the link. Played all 3 American teles yesterday and the ultra won out for feel and now it is cheaper than the pro II! The binding is awesome. It sets it apart from blah teles and gives it class.

Oh, and I also got it shipped to my local store so if there are any issues with condition, I can exchange it right there.

Blue. It's pretty unique. Everyone does burst.
