APR 20 1998. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrat Ultra has a unique wiring system with four Lace Sensor pickups. There's a 3-way mini-switch that gives you some of the most incredible options other strats can't. You can select one of the coils of the Dual Red Lace pickup in the bridge position and mix them with the other two singles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis gives you the following options: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Position #1: \u003c\/b\u003e The bridge pickup using a 3-way mini-switch. This alone gives several variations, which are really cool. Here is what the \"mini-switch\" does to the Dually bridge pickup (and remember too, that these settings can be mixed with the other pickups). Up)activates the front bridge pickup which creates a out of phase hollow sound, which then can be mixed with the middle pickups with the 5-way Super Switch. Middle) has the bridge pickups in series creating a hot humbucker sound. Down) activates the back pickup on the bridge to give a single coil sound which mimics the tone of a Telecaster bridge pickup. The distance of the pickups from the bridge creates different tones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Position #2: \u003c\/b\u003e The bridge and the middle pickups mixed together, which can get a multitude of Strat out-of-phase tones because of the mini-switch and the TBX tone control. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Position #3: \u003c\/b\u003e Here is where we part from standard Strat wiring. Instead of just running the middle pickup, this position mixes the neck pickup with the bridge pickup like on any 2 pickup guitars, such as a Telecaster. Again, with the mini-switch you can shape the color of the sound. Full, rich rhythm sounds. And both tone controls are also combined in this position too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Position #4: \u003c\/b\u003e Is the neck and the middle combined in an out-of-phase vintage Strat tone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Position #5: \u003c\/b\u003e Is totally vintage Strat with just the neck pickup and the middle tone control. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614434390109,"sku":"rev-25495481","price":2345.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/awop766ojgvbef1v9acz.jpg?v=1783945727","url":"https:\/\/guitareum.com\/products\/fender-stratocaster-plus-ultra-1998-crimson-burst","provider":"Guitareum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
