    I know we've always said that Strats are good for ALL styles of music, maybe kinda winking as we said it... But now they really are! What a stunning, professional grade musical instrument. REALLY good for ALL styles of music. I am totally impressed! And I'm 70. Been doing this guitar stuff for 57 years.

      got an ultra texas tea Tele a couple weeks ago, and yeah, those things are just phenomenal. suddenly stuff that I was struggling with became completely playable, so sometimes paying money for stuff is worth it (it isn't all just in the head) 🙂

    For those on a budget who are interested in these features look for a Deluxe Players Stratocaster. These were made in Mexico a few years ago. They have earlier generation noiseless pickups, the S1 switch and necks with a 12" radius. They also have gold hardware and you can probably find one for well under $1,000. They came in 3 finishes, honey blonde, red and a gorgeous transparent sapphire blue.

    On Brandon‘s wonderful Tech explanation of this ultra Stratocaster. He left out three important things. Number one, there is a bone nut. Number two, there is a additional hand carved on the lower horn that makes access to the high for us even easier. And three, the guitar comes with strap locks which are included in the case candy

    been a strataholic for 16 years. ultra is the best strat ever. I have one in surf green with roasted maple neck and itching to get another one in black with rosewood One with the noiseless, one with some fat single coils. All I need. I love the compound radius and neck feel, and that carve at the neck heel is smooth and beatiful to look at and even hold. my other strats look so ugly compared to it.

    I have one and it’s amazing to play and so comfortable. I love the color of the pickguard because it kinda goes with the neck as I believe it’s a little bit stained maple because it’s a bit darker and it just looks good with it. Many p complain about pickguar because if you scratch it with your pick or nail it leaves a mark like a chalkboard lol but it’s whatever I usually just clean it after playing.

    I've been on the fence for a while now to buy one of these. I even watched the Play and Trade TH-cam videos on the reviews of these guitars. The Ultra seems to be the best for the extra money. They are definitely worth it. I've always been a purist to the '50s Strats. I really love the sea foam green one's with the maple neck like this one. I really like that "Texas Tea" color with the brass pickguard. Oh yeah, nice playing Lemmo!

      That neck pickup is really smooth too. I have a 2011 Am. Standard that I love. The bridge pickup is icepick-y and loud. I personally kinda like it bc it gives a good contrast to the neck pickup, but when he started playing that Ultra's neck pickup I was really impressed-so smooth but still sounds like a Strat bridge pickup. Great tone

  • @bradleylovej
    @bradleylovej 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I really love single coil guitars, so the hum has never really bothered me. In fact, I kind of like it-just part of the magic in those pickups. It seems like people put a lot of effort into making noiseless pickups-humbuckers, many iterations of noiseless single-coils, etc. Is it really that big of a deal/do people really desire noiseless pickups that strongly? Just wondering

    • @fartsauce
      @fartsauce 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you're a performer working with super high gain then having noiseless single coils is probably pretty sweet. I know Eric Johnson has said some shows he has had to use a hum cancelling guitar like 335 because the hum was actually louder than his amp while playing! I personally like the hum but I'm just playing at home so the volume is not very high.

    Just a side issue of sorts - when Brandon said the guitar was chatoyant. I have heard of wood being chatoyant for example the flame on a burst for example, but I think Brandon was referring to the finish as chatoyant, which I had always heard referred to as 'sparkle' or 'metallic sparkle'. Brandon was right in saying it had a chatoyant effect or 3d as some refer to it as. It depends if you are referring to the gemstone derivation or the wood derivation. This guitar reminds me of a Cross between a sparkly version of the international series and a late 50s fender bass, very cool...apologies for my previous spelling as someone kindly pointed out.

    #nrgfreebook I bought this same Stratocaster American Ultra with Michael & Brandon's help a week ago (Tuesday, 5/30/2023) at Norm's and have been playing it every day since. This guitar is AMAZING; what a fantastic tone and a VERY comfortable neck. I particularly love the tones with the S1 switch in the bridge position. Michael's playing on it is also superb, as always 👏. Thanks, guys, for the recommendation; it's a considerable upgrade from my Squire Startostaster - I love this guitar! 🎶(Oh, by the way, I would call your playing Iridescent or maybe Labradorescenct!)

    I recently picked up this same exact Ultra used. It's true, the Texas Tea looks spectacular, the locking tuners are great, fantastic neck and cut for easier access, and the noiseless pickups do what they are supposed to do. Just note, in my opinion, when you A/B this guitar to a standard strat with stock pickups, there is a difference in the oompf. I disagree when he says it's indistinguishable from regular strat pickups, and I do have the same 5th gen noiseless. It's noticeable when you A/B it, and also, I would switch guitars at my band practice and found the tone better with the standard Strat (I have an 80s Japanese Strat).
