Am constantly amazed at all the O stuff I have been running across since finding this site. So what's the story with Ultra GS's?

Where have you been? How could you have missed my endless rants on these great guitars... LOL!!!

Bodies and necks made overseas, Schaller and/or Kahler Hardware, Dimarzio Pickups and the extra "routing" on the edge of the body. Assembled in CT!!!! good 'ol USofA. What's not to love about these guitars??

Check out www.baronaudio.com/collection and the pulldown has info on all of the models. Also if you click on my personal collection you should find about 16 examples :)

This is one of my favorites...


And this is probably the best player.
I replaced the Kahler Flyer with a Kahler Pro.

Very nice Miles.
I didn't know they made them in a burst.

I actually wasn't aware of a 'burst until I found this one. Could have been a special order I guess.

Wow, I was once deprived — now I've seen the light. They are really beautiful guitars. Even prettier than the Fenders. Really like that burst one, too.

Thanks for the neat information.
