Of all the "problems" anybody could have I wish this one on each of us!
Good luck, they're all difficult to look away from.

Fender Ultra Precision - Which colour should I get! (Poll)
- Thread starter Nick22
- Start date
The correct answer is Cobra Blue but apparently that finish is only available on the Ultra Jazz.
I know that you're asking for yourself, 'Which one YOU should get?' (and only you yourself can answer that), but for me personally, I find white pickguards to be rather hideous, so I'd go with the "aged natural". Good luck.
Plasma Burst. If that white was Olympic rather than Arctic I would have gone that way. Olympic White with Tortoiseshell pickguard is just my favorite combo.
Is Olympic really all that diff overall in combination with the tort guard to arctic?
Yes. Or maybe not to other peoples' eyes. Olympic White is more of an antique white while Arctic White is a bright, clean white.
hi Nick22 
You know the rules? No carrots option, no poll!!!
My fav colour? Texas Tea followed by Mocca burst. (maple neck for a win)
But I also like the natural (once the tort pg has gone it will look great!
)
Ash is becoming rare! So maybe a good looking natural is something to get now! (before the price will go up)
In that case just try a dozen or so… buy the one that sounds the best...
sand it down… do a rattle can job and put some stickers on it!

And why didn't they make the Ultra Jazz in the Plasma Burst?
Oh well, they are all nice but pick the colour that speaks to you
chose mocha or plasma burst..... they are the most striking to me...dont see those colors very often onstage
I think you should get the American Elite since they are both identical and the elite comes with string through the body and its cheaper as well. Anyway, if you're going to go with the ultra, I'd say go with the aged natural or the plasma burst.
I went to Tobacco automatically, given the choices. But after looking those colors up online, changed my answer.
That Plasma Burst is freaking sweet!!!
(And OP, you should have posted pics of the colors; just saying, would have saved me time
).
Edit: Changed my mind again... the one in Sweetwater is a nicer slightly darker color but the one in that video is a little too "orangey" for my tastes, back to Tobacco it is.
