It looks the stratocaster variant is also available at this price. I think either would sound great in my studio... Studio apartment after my wife divorces me for buying this guitar.

I must resist. (as I browse the strat 3 times an hour)

Quote from guitarraloco :
I'm glad the Fender noiseless pickups work for you but IMHO the Fender noiseless pickups just don't sound like Fender single coil pickups. I'm an old fart that plugs straight into vintage tube amps and the Fender Noiseless pickups I've tried for guitar and Jazz Bass lack the "sparkle" and "air" of single coil pickups. They seemed kinda dull and lifeless to me
I wasn't disagreeing regarding the difference in tone, but, as I said, it's "horses for courses". Leaving the pickups aside, I think the compound radius D-neck, additional sculpting of the body & neck joint, 6-saddle chromed brass block and locking tuners take the Ultra significantly beyond the Am Pro II in terms of specs and playability. I think of my Ultra Tele as a reboot of a classic but with modern amenities. The pickups might not be to everyone's taste, but mine's pretty faultless in terms of fit & finish, out-of-the-box setup, has great tuning stability and (IMO) 4 distinct & highly usable sounds.

I bought this one for same price on St. Pat's day deal (on sale then because of the green). My fretboard is pretty dark. The noiseless pickups are not what you're looking for to give "Tele twang". I swapped mine out for a Jason Isbell set. Fender uses quick connect connections for the Ultras so it's an easy swap back to stock. This is a good deal at $1599.
just wondering, did you pay $1599 or $1699? i called on the 1st of the month, bc the sale ended, and got em to $1650, but I just blurted that out like a fool when the MF Texas Tea Ultra deal I mentioned I think would've gotten me a bit better offer. It had been a long day and now I'm kicking myself, but I just got the guitar and i do like it.
thx for your time!
