10"-14" Compound-Radius
Built for speed and easy bending, the 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut for chording ease, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register for easy soloing.

The tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard, while the sculpted rear body contour is designed for comfort.
Ultra Noiseless Vintage Pickups
The Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups feature true classic Fender tone without hum.

The volume knob's S-1 switch selects between series or parallel wiring for added tonal range, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.

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.

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".

This ultra has a belly cut. Tempted by the cobra blue....
ok genius, where you think your forarm and elbow are gonna be rubbing? back or front? hmmm...
It is right angle squared off, it is not as rounded edge or capable of wearing round as the normal teles
LoLz
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!?! 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.
