I would like to order it with Seymour Duncan picks and a Natural walnuttop or a Natuaral Aldertop. Is this possible?

I'm interested on hearing the answer .... mine ideal would be similar:

no EMGs, no battery holder hole/routing, and fixed bridge

.... in other words, lke an ultra blues fixed bridge but with a HSH config, .... or like a surfreter but with a regular neck.

color-wise i'm pretty open ..... are those available combinations?

the Ultra (not the Ultra blues) is available with a fixed bridge HSH config and DiMarzio picks

The vRef application (2015 version) says Ultra + fixed is a discontinued option ... someone needs to confirm ....

The Ultra has been discontinued as a fixed bridge option, it is true...though there might still be some about if you are lucky to find them. The factory did have a gorgeous Ultra blues in Amber recently.  

For the question of tops...sometimes we have a special run with different tops, last time was a while ago (Walnut top option).  

If you talk about 'like Surfreter' with different neck - this is possible, but you are looking at the Excalibur Special - available in HSH with a fixed bridge.

Thanks Ben,

I understood the Ultra fixed was discontinued, but that Ultra Blues fixed was a current available option. Do you confirm both Ultras with fixed bridge are no longer an option?

Also, I feel guilty like I derailed the original post .... our fellow member was asking about an Ultra with different top and S.Duncan pickups (he didn't specify fixed bridge) ... can we clarify that too?

At the moment you can get an Ultra Blues fixed bridge, you can't get an Ultra or Ultra A/P fixed bridge. vRef 'should' always be correct and give you any options for each model.

For the original post ~ for the Ultra you would have to fit any aftermarket p/ups yourself. There are a few different colours - Natural Alder is not possible as a 'top' on this model, Alder is the back wood - Flamed maple is the top, we do offer in Natural finish that looks stunning.
