After having in my possession this instrument for more than a year I decided to wright down my honest opinion. This is one of the most premium guitars I have ever had, and I say this given that a lot of expensive guitars have passed through my hands over the years. The Fender AM ultra quickly became my main guitar for a bunch of reasons. First of all it sounds amazing, it's very resonant and feels great to play. The neck is way more comfortable and fast than you can imagine and the guitar is very well built, with care to the details from the factory. However, I made some mods to adjust it in my own taste which is: replaced the bridge pickup with a full sized humbucker and wired the s1 switch to only split the coils of the humbucker. The middle and the neck pickups are the closest thing to classic vintage fender pickups but in a noiseless form. Also, although, I use the tremolo bar quite a lot, the guitar stays in tune no matter what, and for me this is one of the most important things. Finally, this particular color, "cobra blue", is really unique, and combined with the maple neck, they form one of the most beautiful guitars out there! I clearly recommend it without a second thought! You can't go wrong with this instrument!
