Above. Beyond. Ultra.

A few weeks ago I was lucky to get to sneak off to Nashville for a top secret meeting with Fender. I knew they were about to show off a new product but I had no clue just how awesome it was going to be!

Ever since the early days, Fender has always pushed the limits with their products, which has been a crucial part of them being at the top of the guitar industry! Over the last few years, we've seen them work harder than ever to continuously improve just about every guitar in their lineup. Well just when we thought they couldn't improve anymore, they've gone off and done it again!

We are super excited to join with Fender in the announcement of the new American Ultra Series!

American Ultra is the the most advanced series of guitars and basses for discerning players who demand the ultimate in precision, performance, and tone! The new Ultra series is full of amazing Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jazzmasters, and Basses, all with incredible features and absolutely stunning colors! 

I got a close up look and listen at the private event in Nashville and was absolutely blown away. It didn't hurt that the surprise artist that performed for us that night was the one and only Cory Wong (Vulfpeck)! He and his band played an incredible set, while he played a variety of different Fender Ultra models, and really showed off what these new guitars can do!

I was able to take a few photos but couldn't share with anyone until now! One of them included this cool shot of an Ultra Strat and Tele that Cory played during his performance. The color of the tele on the right is called Texas Tea. This color may be the coolest of the entire lineup in my opinion. From one angle its black, the other it's gold sparkle, and like in this picture, it's almost green! Fender really did something special with this color and all of the others in the lineup as well!
