Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for left-handed players?
Only the Solo-II Custom Lefty is available as a left-handed instrument. The Ultra is right-handed only.
What's the main tonal difference between these two?
The Ultra emphasizes warm, articulate tones with traditional character, while the Solo-II Custom adds articulate highs and robust low-end response with coil-splitting capability for greater sonic range.
Do these guitars have different fretboard radii?
Yes. The Ultra has a fixed 14" radius, while the Solo-II Custom uses a compound 12–16" radius that transitions from tighter (easier bending near the nut) to flatter (easier chording higher up).
Are both suitable for intermediate to professional players?
Yes, both are rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels with fast-playing thin "C" neck profiles and 24.75" scale lengths.
