That new "Ultra" range? Think it's replacing the Elite range and there's a Jazzmaster this time too.

Thrad over at

Some info HERE too.

Yeah, just googled around. Sounds boring.

You guys smell that?

That smell.....I've smelled it before.....

It's like a mixture of cork, lies and marketing bullllllshit

Genuinely starting to think that the iffy Pawn Shop series will go down in history as being the last time Fender really tried something a bit different.

Which is sad.

Quite possibly. There were a couple gems in the Pawn Shop series.

Was hoping for a Fender Performer.

Would actually like a nice (fender) strat with a locking trem. I know they did "the strat" and the contemporary strat, but I'd like one that looks like a normal strat in every other way. I know CS did a few, but they would likely be big spendy time.

what's the difference between these and the american deluxe series from 20 years ago other than doubling the price? i had an hss strat from that series, and it was $1k out the door w/ hsc and case candy. i'd love a noiseless tele, but $1.9k? =\

ULTRA Van Halen

Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw the models. These look exactly like what I remember the pricey Fenders looking like when I started playing. I assumed Fender always made this guitar. It's a strat with a two point bridge....

I kinda dig a few features of the Jazzmaster and Tele, but the rest is just... nah.
