Just when I thought the initial ultras were the coolest. This is way cooler.

[@uclasuzuki]

Thank you!! Cooper, your sounds are so pure!! No matter what kind of strat you play.

[@johnlord1399]

I don’t know about the Strat, but Chris’ t-shirt is the coolest one of the year.

[@AlamoMusic]

Shiny

[@JeffSimpson-yy2si]

Hey I to dig Chris tee shirt 😊

[@1lifeonearth]

it needs an off-white pick guard and a regular-colored neck, and then it would look a lot better!

[@LexingtonDaniel]

I have preorders in on this one and the Antigua Hardtail Vintera. Both unbelievably cool!

[@paistefever]

Great video as always! I feel like I am the only one who thinks that Ultra is Fender's own version of Jackson classic heel contour, hahah!
Obviously Fender owns Jackson and Charvel, It's about time they used that feature on the their "modern" series in Squire and Fender.

[@riverstone5994]

Finally someone else has one of these. There’s really not much on it. Glad to see you guys do a vid 🎉

[@bmt2125]

LMAO he couldn't contain himself at 6:00 talk about that nice D neck shape

[@misorodzinak8829]

The finish has that 90's TVR chameleon paint vibe (IYKYK)

[@Alienadin]

This finish is really killer! I think I won't be able to resist this one, even though I already have the Cobra blue SSS Ultra, and an HSS Fender HM Strat, as well as 18 other amazing guitars, but this one is just so cool. Damn you, Fender! LOL

[@chaseconner3458]

Such vibe, this is a must have

[@trevorgwelch7412]

This cool guitar would look way better with a black ebony fret board - extremely nice explanation of Fenders 70th Anniversary guitar .

[@braddietzmusic2429]

Agree 100%

[@deluxeedition46]

Vibe 100%, i got the nebula noir 70th strat ( you guys 1st on youtube to review it) very happy with that purchase, if i super rich i might get this too! 😎

[@JasonBowenGuitarista]

I was truly hoping the finish in person would blow me away and it did. Plays amazing, sounds awesome. This just nudged my Gibson LP out of my #1 spot.

[@kylebaker8619]

If that guitar doesn't scream "space age" 80s, than I don't know what does! Super cool looking guitar!

[@pepmasters-999]

(Hey, I'm first!) Just bought a second-hand American Pro strat, rosewood fingerboard, ash body in sienna sunburst (great grain). Plays really nicely. This amethyst finish is interesting -- I need to see one in person -- but my taste always leans to wanting to be able to see the wood grain through the finish.

[@kyle4145]

Total vibe

[@dudemandudebro938]

Yeah this is way cooler on video
WOW

[@Fernando-rt8fz]

Great video and review. That guitar is stunning. Btw, is there any fret buzzing during the demo in the lowest string?? I think I hear it but I'm confused 🤔

[@DanielBrophyMusic]

@8:37 What amp are you playing through?

[@mitcharney1]

My choice over a Silver Sky any day of the week.

[@johnmarler6735]

Oh yeah

[@ramonvasques612]

Is there any differencein tones if compared with Stratocaster Ultra Cobra Blue???

[@JeffSimpson-yy2si]

Strats are cool but in more interesting in tele 🎉

[@kevko23]

how heavy is it?

[@kotla671]

Back in the day 7.25 radius was held out as best for chording. Is the low action of the 10-14 radius necks also better for those who want an easy time chording?

[@AlamoMusic]

It’s the best compromise for chording lower on the neck and playing single note lines higher up.

[@chefpjsmith]

Lazer Burst

[@venturaVlogger]

Is there a mexican version of that amethyst??

[@czechplastik]

No.

[@lnugent1000]

They robbed the middle tone boost from the Lincoln Brewster Stratocaster

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

looks like it's made from metal..

[@El-Scorcho]

Antigua is the best color Fender ever made

[@cadebrown2092]

🤢

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Natural no paint just plain old natural wood rubbed down with turpentine and a little 90 weight gear oil mixed in to protect the wood.

[@dividedbytimestudios]

Killer clowns from space

[@gfy2979]

Coopstache 1st comment lets gooooooooooooo

[@gfy2979]
