I love the Meteora body shape, but the knob placement bugs me. I hate it when a volume knob is that close to the strings; I always wind up hitting it with the way I play. There's SO MUCH space on the pickguard, pull the knobs back! ...Or let Warmoth make the Meteora body shape so I can order and customize one of my own!
Saw one IRL, it's basically going to be unplayable for a lot of users. Ola's video is spot on. It hurts your finger. Notice how Tim (in this video) is anchoring with his pinky. The regular Meteora's already have this problem and this new Ultra II moved it closer... a serious miss. Maybe wait around a year and they'll be blowing them out and you can just move it yourself, haha.
@@biffstronghold3926the PUPs are the issue in these and the Teles. Dunno re the Strats; not a Strat guy. Seems a strange place not to excel in guitars at this price point.
Really just watched this out of curiosity not expecting to consider this at all... I got my first Fender Strat almost exactly 50 Years ago (plus 10 days to be exact) and had at least two dozen Fenders since then. What has not happened in half a century is that I remotely liked the sound of a Fender humbucker... until now! Damn, this sounds and looks really good.
When will the ultra luxe II series be announced? I love the new American Ultra II models but I don't want to need to refret my guitar 10 years later after I buy it.
Fender does a good job with getting good players to demo. I would actually be interested in this guitar if it was a different color. Why not just make it black? I know some people like this color, but to me it'd hideous. And the Ultraburst is a terrible choice on this guitar. The white is "meh". I mean seriously Fender, give us BLACK, a metallic blue, and maybe a classic 50's color...
I love how Fender has released the AMERICAN ULTRA II Meteora, but still has not released a LEFT HANDED version at any level. I HATE being a lefty! This must be what bigotry feels like?
@@fredlewis1354 Read his biography. Hendrix experienced bigotry and never would have equated it to what is essentially a consumer shopping inconvenience.
its really nice, until you hit your right hand into that Volume Know for the 666th time xD, i would move that thing out of the way. But really nice Guitar

YOU PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE TIM
Great demo. Shows how versatile it is. May end up Fender's best humbucker guitar.
Loving the color just wish there were more options
The Texas tea is absolutely gorgeous.
best in the game!!
Love but i’d prefer covers on the Humbuckers.
Same. Uncovered humbuckers look cheap
I wish he’d have played with the bass contour knob a bit! It’s volume treble tone and bass tone, right?

Love the Meteora. Can’t afford a Meteora. Can you do Squier Meteora please Fender. Silver with white pick guard and maple fretboard please 😉
Well there the player series one, it s half of the price
That white one 😍 but would swap the white pickguard for a black one!
Volume knob position is the big issue in this amazing guitar.
dump the tone knob and move the two volumes back a hole. cap the hole the volume left.
I’d love to hear this gorgeous beast w some PAFs or Custombuckers under the hood 🔥
Go buy yourself a Gibson
The Meteora is a fantastic guitar but it is NOT a Jazzmaster replacement.
A beautiful guitar. With harsh sounding pickups I’ll replace the day I buy it.
Why are you spending 2400 dollars and then replace the pickups? Waste of money
agreed about the bad sounding pickups, this one is a pass for me...
@@wriglarzzzwell, he just said it’s because he likes the guitar but doesn’t like the pickups. Not really that difficult to understand.
The pickups sound awful. Harsh and abrasive... really undefined.

Someone might be an Eric Johnson fan. Meteora is a great shape

Covered humbuckers would’ve made it look 1000 times better
I 'm not a fan of the crazy looking pick guard. If it stopped just after the last nob it wouldn't be bad
This guy is an amazing player.
That being said, really dissapointed with the overall sound of the instrument. It's a looker, but that's where it ends.

Think it possitively. You avoid gas buying. Hope they release it soon anyway.
im also a lefty, just play right hand guitars its the same
No, it’s not.
