Rocketing in as part of Fender's most elite series of instruments yet, the Fender American Ultra II Meteora is an exciting innovation in offsets. Building on the dynamic offset, this American Ultra II model drops in to deliver a stunning experience for players seeking new, boundary-pushing musicality.

The Fender American Ultra II Meteora starts out easily with its stellar offset body shape formed from select alder. This specially-selected cut of alder comes together with a respectable yet mobile weight for a maneuverable feel with a strap over the shoulder. Outfitted with Fender's Ultra body contours, the alder of this Meteora is carefully crafted for a seamless feel in the arms. Additionally, a finely sculped neck heel offers the highest access to frets possible to enhance playability.

Moving on, this American Ultra II model brings a quartersawn maple neck into the equation. Decked in a silky Ultra Satin finish, this neck is effortlessly held and played across the palm. This specification doubles up on comfort with the Meteora's Modern "D"-shaped profile that forms a solid grip in hand. As it fills the grip, this neck assists in playing across its full length from any angle or position.

A compound radius fingerboard lands on this model to enhance the modernity and speed of this offset. The quartersawn maple matches with an ebony fingerboard measured up with a compound radius. Starting at an already very modern 10" near the headstock, this fingerboard flattens out further to 14" near the body, facilitating speedy solos and note bends. Twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets punctuate this ebony for a familiar and comfortable fretting experience on the fingertips. Ultra rolled fingerboard edges streamline playing to an even greater degree, making this whole neck and board a breeze. Luminlay side dots appear for a bright set of fret markers.

On the Meteora, Fender equipped in two Haymaker humbucker pickups. These two humbuckers, wired to deliver a colorful spectrum of sounds from sweet crystalline cleans to modern heat, play with versatility and expression. The experience expands further from there with Fender's patented S-1 switching system that coil splits the Haymakers to widen the field of sounds even further. A master tone control joins in with a bass cut knob to sculpt sounds more closely. Electronically, the Meteora is a marvel of exciting sounds and versatility.

The hardware setup on this American Ultra II packs in quite a bit of flair on its own. A six-saddle strings-through-body hardtail bridge with polished stainless steel block saddles grounds strings to the offset body and ensures tight and sturdy intonation. At the guitar's opposite end, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut and Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking tuning machines tie the experience together for a stable experience near the headstock. Across this whole guitar, Fender took every opportunity to make a precise hardware experience and assure every aspect of this offset shines.

As part of Fender's most advanced series of instruments yet, this American Ultra II Meteora has just about everything an offset fan could ask for. The dynamic angles from which it takes on musical challenges are intriguing and definitely worth a spin alongside its series brethren.

Doctor Aphra and Luke Skywalker - An Entertaining Duo!
Format: Paperback
I've greatly enjoyed the various Marvel Star Wars series, but Star Wars: Yoda's Secret War left me a little unsatisfied.  I'm very happy to say that the next installment--Screaming Citadel--righted the course and returned the series to its high standard. Of course, this volume is not just comprised of the Star Wars series.  It also has issues from Doctor Aphra.  Obviously, the two comics crossed over with each other to deliver this story as  whole. Doctor Aphra has an ancient crystal supposedly housing the sentience of a powerful Jedi.  She needs the Queen of the Screaming Citadel to access it for her, and she needs Luke Skywalker to entice the queen into doing so.  You'll have to read the book for the details on using Luke as bait.  Doctor Aphra sells it to Luke as a chance for him to encounter an actual Jedi master, and it's a chance for her to witness a remnant of the ancient past because she is an archaeologist after all, albeit a bit of an immoral one. That's a pretty good premise to achieve what this story is really all about--watching Luke and Aphra interact.  I believe Doctor Aphra is one of the greatest additions to the Star Wars universe in decades.  She first appeared in the Darth Vader series, and she won over the audience so thoroughly that she quickly earned her own title.  Honestly, though Aphra works best when pitted against the pure of heart, or at least those on the side of the Rebels.  She's Aphra, so of course she manipulates Luke, double-crosses him, saves his skin a few times, then cheats him again.  That's just who she is. It's also interesting to see a rebellious streak in Luke as he jaunts off with Aphra without telling Han, Leia, or anyone else for that matter.  We know his dad didn't always follow protocol, so these little deviations are always revealing when Luke is concerned.  It's also fun to see him beginning to realize his power.  This particular story takes place soon after A New Hope, so Luke has not yet begun to completely understand what he has at his disposal--though this book does depict Luke having some pretty cool moments with his burgeoning abilities. We also have quite a bit of Han, Leia, and another invaluable addition to the mythology named Sana Starros.  All three get their moment to shine as Han finds more and more of the hero within, Leia further establishes herself as the capable leader she is, and Sana Starros slowly reveals more and more of her past to the reader.  Guess what?  Not only does she have deep connections to Han Solo, but it's heavily hinted that she is also tied to Doctor Aphra as well.  The specifics may surprise you. And, as always, Aphra's versions of C3PO and R2D2 steal the show.  They are named 0-0-0 and BT-1.  They are basically the murderous, demented, evil version of our favorite droids, and they are forever a delight. The story of Screaming Citadel itself is entertaining.  The art is very pleasing to the eye and keeps the plot moving at a quick pace.  At times the faces of the characters based off of real life actors look almost photo realistic, which is sometimes jarring when the rest of the panel does not look so true to life.  Of course, the best quality of the book is simply seeing all of these characters play off of each other.  It's refreshing to have such rounded, charismatic new characters as Aphra, Sana, Triple-Zero, and Bee-Tee 1 making waves with our legendary favorites.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid
Format: Paperback
Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel is a crossover collection of the main Star Wars comic series and the Doctor Aphra series. The Arc revolves around the Queen of The Screaming Citadel being the only one who can open a relic containing an ancient Jedi master. Aphra then teams up with Luke Skywalker and we have our crossover event. The story itself is good. A queen with parasitic bugs controlling a planet is uncharted territory for Star Wars and it works. There were great action moments, plots painting the Empire in a morally grey light than the traditional evil one. Doctor Aphra Marvel's golden girl character was funny in this and her chemistry with Luke worked. It didn't feel forced like Marvel was trying to use the Original Characters to build-up their new ones. Where this comic fails is the inconsistent art style as this is a collection you get different art with each issue. Its starts of good and then takes a nosedive in the Aphra issue in the volume. Bad art aside Screaming Citadel was an enjoyable crossover. Doctor Aphra is the best new character to come out of this new Marvel Disney run. Screaming Citadel is worth the read it was a nice crossover that delves more into the Fantasy elements of Star Wars and works as Star Wars has been Space Wizards since 1977.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.
