Comments: Comment on Strat Ultra specs:
"All the Ultras have chrome Plated locking tuners, Bridge Saddles, and roller nut.
As mentioned, the Ultra models also feature chrome plated Schaller locking tuners, Chrome plated Wilkinson nut..."
My Strat Ultra dates to 1990 production and uses Sperzel locking tuners, not Schaller (I find Sperzels to be superior). The tuners and nut were both brushed metal, not chrome. The bridge is chrome.
The early Ultras are really phenomenal guitars and have been largely overlooked.
Admin reply: Actually, I have never seen an Ultra without the Chrome parts. When Fender first advertised these that was a feature they came with from the beginning. Every time someone has shown me a "Ultra" without the Chrome parts, it was always a Strat Plus with upgrades, like the ultra pickup assembly. All Ultras had Ebony fretboards, not rosewood with real abalone dot inlays. One cane find the very first advertisements for these and you can see the "features"...it would be odd that fender would sell them without the "features!" Yes some did come with Sperzel Locking Tuners. I have seen a few very early 1990 Ultra's with them....
