I, like you, noticed a definite lack of noise in the Ultra 2, but I may have an idea why that is. If you remove the pickguard, you may find the cavity underneath shielded, perhaps with copper foil tape -- although I fully expect conductive paint instead. Extend the conductive material upwards far enough to have it contact the metal pickguard properly, and you have the upper part of the shielding done by the guard. I think a good shielding scheme would eliminate the residual noise that plagued the original American Ultra -- without a pickup redesign and cheaply. Maybe that's even what they did.

Just an observation of your picking technique, I notice when you palm mute your palm rests on the bridge much further back then mine, likely resulting in that more "open" sound. Not a dig or anything. I often need to drill down any neck pick up to get it out of my pick's way while digging into chugged notes. Failing that I always opt for 22 fret guitars since the pick ups have more distance and thus I avoid that issue. Could you delve into how you normally hold the pick? Thank you.
@SenseiKreese3 ай бұрын
The humbucker sounded thin, lacking body and thickness - and I usually don't care too much about the pickups. I tried to play metal on an Aerodyne Japan Strat for a little while, I just couldn't get the tone I wanted from it, it always sounded thin, I even put a dimebucker in and it didn't solve it. My tech then told me it's the way Fender did the electronics. So I gave up on it, sold it, and bought a Prestige RG. For me, your Strats there sound like they have the same problem with high gain as mine did.
