Is the new Fender Ultra Jazzmaster as good guitar
for Surf Music? I would be playing it thru a Tone
King Sky King.

Bango does not have one but believes it would be rad.

That new vibrato is mighty intriguing(!!!)

The thing that this ape finds about Jazzmasters is that they're like fine wine - each one is slightly different in different ways, but it's still a Jazzmaster. Dig!

I ended up getting back the Ultra Telecaster that I traded
so my goal for next year is to save and get the Ultra Jazzmaster.

I own an Ultra Telecaster and was about to get the Ultra JM when the American Pro II came out... I like the config better and the panorama trem is awesome.

Anything through a Sky King will sound amazing. I own a Meteor, which is kind of a predecessor of the Sky King, and it sounds killer with any Jazzmaster I run through it. Mark's amps could polish turds, it'll certainly rock with that Ultra JM!

I had one for exactly one day before returning it.

There were some quality issues and they had the worst pickups I have ever heard.

Here's some good info - I believe the pickups are stacked humbuckers, so YMMV. Cool
