    Fender was smart to contact you. This video is amazing. Your low-key style makes the paid promotion aspect a non-issue. They’re great guitars, and it comes down to price and preference. The Metora is a great sound and it’s a nice color.

    Great review! Fender was wise to have you play their phenomenal new Ultra 2s. You did them justice. Thanks for your honesty and playing abilities. I own 3 Ultras: Tele, Strat, and Precision Bass. I love them all. They are every bit as beautiful as the originals and more! The noiseless pickups are indistinguishable to single coils even for the Ultra 1 series but quiet even with extreme gain. I had 3 other Fender Teles but sold them all just because I couldn't get comfortable with the body. The belly cut makes a huge difference to me at almost 48 yrs old. Now I love to puck up the Ultra Tele and play. I also forget about the guitars, they become an extension of myself; they are that good. John 5 loved the Ultra 2 Tele from another video. I hope Fender keeps making Ultra 1s with new pickups for the color options and rosewood fingerboards. I would love an Ultra 2 Meteora now. Thanks!

    Tha Meteora looks awesome. I do really appreciate body shapes that are a bit different, and offsets are always cool. Probably why I love my Legator Opus T models so much as they are kinda like an offset/Tele hybrid (unfortunately discontinued now though...hopefully they will bring them back).
    Amazing tone coming out of the Meteora with your setup too. I really love what you were playing with it...that repeating rhythm blended so well with those trippy melodies. I was pretty tired when watching this so that part actually had me zoning out into some other world (I mean that as the utmost compliment! It really was such a dreamy, pleasant soundscape...).
    Would love to see a video about the scales you use to get that kind of trippy, exotic ambience as it gives your playing such a unique vibe. Unless you don't want anyone to steal your signature sound lol

    Love the Texas Tea color. I have an Ultra I in he tele in that color. It is so comfortable to play. I was not fond of the teles before my Ultra. The thinner body, the belly cut, the hardware, the boost in the middle switch position. I can imagine this one is even better. Well done.

    Oh wow... nice work as usual Bea. I just opted for the Fender Tele Player Plus because Chapman discontinued the ML3 Pro Traditional (bad move IMO). Player Plus series goes with the vintage noiseless, pretty much the same setup everywhere else as the Ultra II but diff color scheme on the Mexican versions of these modern type Teles... also the Player Plus series is 1300k cheaper than the Ultra II. My Tele is in the Silver Smoke color scheme with the Pau Ferro finger board. I warmed up to the vintage noiseless after I seriously considered swapping them with Nomads or the Hot Tele set from Seymour Duncan... so for now I am keeping them vintage noiseless.

    That Meteora is very cool. I have a Baum Wingman that ticks that alternative rock riff machine box for me. Otherwise this or the Musicman St. Vincent would be really interesting to me. I find myself really wanting a Fender Jaguar at the moment. But there aren't too many options around. Maybe try and find one of the previous gen Vintera Jaguars, or import a MIJ one.

  • @eccentric0official

    They look and sound really nice guitars from your video. I think if I had the choice of finish, I’d go with Texas tea.
    I think this is the first time I’ve seen a video of a Texas tea guitar and it hasn’t looked black.
    I used to love Fender guitars after buying my first American Strat, then I bought a tele, change the strings and most of the tuning pegs were loose in the headstock. To the point they almost fell out. Then I bought a Pro 2 Tele, changed the strings and 4 of the 6 ferrules fell out of the body. I was told by the shop that this happened a lot now with Fender. So I swapped it for a Players Edition Gretsch. It was a superior instrument for me. Which is a shame, because I also really wanted an Ultra Tele in Texas Tea. Since then, I haven’t even bothered with Fender.
    Hopefully they don’t have issues like this anymore, especially not on their Ultra models.

    If I’m getting a tele, I don’t want it do be modern - I want it to be as traditional, pain in the ass, temperamental, straight off a Nashville bar’s floor as possible. However, I have the 70th Anniversary Ultra Strat, and it’s probably my favorite guitar. Great video! I would’ve loved to hear a comparison of the noiseless PUs vs the ones on your custom shop.

    Rabea I love your playing. You could play a tennis racket and make it sound great. I have one thing to ask . When you are doing demos could you stay in standard tuning? The rest of us not in your class relate to it better. At least I do. I don’t often play with an alternate tuning. Maybe E flat at the most.

      Agreed 100%. I also have the Ultra Tele in Texas Tea with the binding. It's my first Fender with binding and at first I was cool with it but now I love it. Hope they keep making Ultra 1s with the new Ultra 2 pickups or add options to Ultra 2s like Rosewood vice Ebony, the binding, and Ultra 1 colors and white pickguards. The one thing I don't dig about the new Ultra 2s are the black pickguards. Not for me.

  • @robyates136
    @robyates136 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have the first version of the Tele Ultra and this new one isn't a lot different in the pros & cons. No doubt an excellent and versatile modern guitar, and I play it plenty because its Noiseless pickups are quiet in my electrically-noisy studio space. And it's way more comfortable to play than a regular Tele for me - comfy body, great neck. But it lacks "Tele-ness". Not bad - just nearer to a generic high-quality guitar than nearer to a high-end traditional Tele. I have a Roadhouse Deluxe Strat that shares the same pros & cons, and eventually picked up a bargain Silver Sky SE for more "Strat-ness". I can take the Tele anywhere for almost any style of jam session or gig and it works - from blues to metal. Which is fantastic. But I have a few guitars that can do that. And this is one expensive Tele to just be a general purpose guitar.
