Frequently Asked Questions
The Ultra II pickups aim for vintage Strat tones but with significantly reduced hum, making them a better choice for recording or playing in noisy environments.
The transition is surprisingly smooth; the flatter radius in the higher registers facilitates easier bends and complex chords.
The American Ultra tremolo offers vastly improved tuning stability thanks to the cold-rolled steel block and locking machine heads, a welcome upgrade.
