Fender Ultra Telecaster

I agree with your decision. I like the Ultra in Texas Tea with a rosewood board.

 

Hope they let you return it, best not to buy stuff you know you dont like kinda rude to the store.

 

Yeah the Texas Tea is a real
beauty.

 

Looks good in blue - good luck with the return

 

I played one when they first came out and nearly bought it. I didn’t need it but really liked it.

 

Assuming this is a fair depiction of this ash Ultra, I think the swap is a good idea for you.

I hate to say this, but these are normally spectacular to look at - but this example doesn't please my eye much at all. Ash supplies could be waning - I wonder if this one snuck through when it should not have.

This red burst is a concept IMO that has always worked better with the salmony hue of alder. And it is customary that whatever body wood is used, that graining be very subdued. I think it is a bad thing when the heavy, darkened grain of some ash collides with a burst concept that if not executed just so, gets too close to Clownburst for my eye. When someone at Fender Corona picked up this ash body, he or she should've designated it for a 2 tone Sunburst or a solid color. Not this Plasma burst color.

 

Yea, both nice axes but the blue one is a little prettier IMO. At this price you need to get what you really want
