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.Position #2: 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.Position #3: 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.Position #4: Is the neck and the middle combined in an out-of-phase vintage Strat tone.Position #5: Is totally vintage Strat with just the neck pickup and the middle tone control.As on all the Plus Series, the Ultra comes with Fender's TBX tone system. The bottom tone control is a stacked set of potentiometers that cuts either treble or bass instead of the standard style of tone that cuts treble only. T (treble) B (bass) X (Cut) thus TBX). When you turn this knob, you can feel a halfway point which is tone neutral. This tone control gives the bridge and middle pickups a unique variety of soundsI do a basic setup on the guitars I sell:Clean the entire body - Done 11/1/24Clean and oil (rosewood or ebony only) the fretboard - Done 11/1/24Polish the frets - Done 11/1/24New set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9's - Done 11/1/24Tune to E Standard - Done 11/1/24Set the IntonationI set the bridge level with body - Done 11/1/24Set the bridge/string height - Done 11/1/24Set the bridge pickup height - Done 11/1/24Adjust truss rod if necessary - Done 11/1/24I do not stretch the stringsPacking and ShippingI always loosen the strings and support the tremoloSpecial care is given to protect the headstock, especially if it is tilt-backI wrap any accessories away from the guitarGuitars I ship without a case get completely bubble wrapped and then surrounded by padding inside the guitar shipping box.I always ship using UPS Ground with Insurance and signature requiredThe majority find my setups to be just right, and playable without any professional intervention.
