Ive been looking and even have the high bid right now, but all I really want is the body and the FR that has to be the goofiest neck ever, seen I would like to put an original HM neck on it get rid of the ugly pick guard and set her up with a set of Dimarzio Evolution Neck and Bridge humbuckers

Oh, okay. Yeah, that is not an Ultra, just a Floyd-equipped HM Strat.
Here's a picture of an Ultra. You can also look in the galleries page on the main website, there are pictures of several of LBeast2000's Ultras there.

The neck on eBay is from the Fender/Heartfield Talon series. They used a bunch of them that were leftover to make a version of the HM Strat. It's not a one-piece though, and only has 22 frets, so it's significantly different than what we all think of as the HM Strat.

lbeast, are those your Ultras? Good god, three in the same room? It's hard enough to find one let alone three. I've been looking for about four years for one and I've only seen one in not so good condition about three years ago and one that was really just an Ultra neck on some other non-HM body which I bought about a year ago....

I don't know what the deal is with ppl thinking that the heartfields are Ultras. I saw a guy on Facebook from south america (found in a google search or something) that said he had an HM Ultra and I asked him to send me pics of it and it turned out to be a heartfield HM.

Yes they are all mine. All mine. Mine. My. NNNNN. 
I want a tobacco burst Ultra to complete my set (Greedy little bastard aren't we?). 
It has taken me since the internet came into being in the mid 90s to find these three examples. All of them came from eBay. The Blue one in the pic above is the only one of its color I have ever seen and I paid heavily for it, probably for that reason.
Are you the guy that bought the HM Ultra neck attached to a faux HM Ultra body in September 2009? I had too much going on at that time, but I wanted to complain to eBay on that auction because I knew that only the neck was from an Ultra. The body was more than likely from a Bud ad Fender Strat from 1990-91 based on the volume & tone pot configuration.

Dude, you are an Ultra HOG!  Save some for the rest of us!  ;D Yah, I bought that guitar, paid about 1/2 of what he was asking (still too much). I knew it was not all original, it was obvious to me that the knobs, pickups and probably the finish were not original but I didn't figure out the body wasn't until I got it. I think the seller probably didn't realize it wasn't original but who knows? |

yah, that blue one is really nice. I thought the one on the right was black but apparently it's a dark red? Really nice. I looked at it over in the gallery. Are the trems all Steelers or do any of them have an OFR?

Sorry to butt in, but I think the Ultra's came with Floyd's.
I've never seen an HM with a Steeler on it...
