Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure VI Electric Guitar Silver Burst Pearl
Description
Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure VI Electric Guitar Silver Burst Pearl
The UltraCure VI brings extended-range capability into the studio with a comfortable, controlled platform across its extended 30" scale and slim Thin "C" neck profile that reduces hand fatigue during long tracking and composition sessions. The mahogany body with set-neck construction and Ultra Access cutaway provides excellent upper-fret accessibility for articulate lead work and layered arrangements, while the Silver Burst Pearl finish delivers visual distinction in both isolation booth and live room. This is a purpose-built instrument for recording engineers and producers seeking extended range and articulate tone without sacrificing ergonomic playability across marathon sessions.
Playability & Build Quality
The neck features a 3-piece maple construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, ensuring rock-solid stability across the extended scale length critical for studio tracking precision. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with Mother of Pearl block inlays enable clean intonation and smooth lateral movement for expressive playing, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width supports consistent tuning across takes and layered recordings. The thin profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth fret, optimizing access and reducing hand fatigue during extended recording and arrangement sessions.
Electronics & Tone
Three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups—bridge (SJAG-1B), middle (SJAG-1M), and neck (SJAG-1N)—deliver articulate, controlled output with three on-off slider switches for flexible pickup selection across overdubs and mix approaches. The TonePros bridge system with custom brass saddles ensures stable intonation session-to-session and resonant sustain that captures clarity in a mix, while volume and tone controls with metal knurled knobs provide intuitive adjustment and durable response for tracked automation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar designed for?
The UltraCure VI is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The slim Thin C neck profile and Ultra Access cutaway are ergonomically optimized, but the 30" extended scale and specialized electronics are best appreciated by players comfortable with extended-range tuning and precision technique.
What comes in the box and what strings does it use?
The UltraCure VI ships with Ernie Ball Hellcat VI Custom strings (90-75-56-44-34-24 gauge) already installed. The guitar includes all hardware and electronics factory-installed and ready to play.
How do the three Seymour Duncan pickups and slider switches work?
Three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups (bridge, middle, and neck) are controlled by three on-off slider switches, letting you select any combination of pickups for tonal flexibility. This gives you six different voicing options without traditional pickup selectors, ideal for crafting articulate, controlled tones across genres.
What makes the neck stable at 30 inches?
The neck uses 3-piece maple construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods to resist the tension of the extended scale. The Thin C profile (0.787" at fret 1, 0.866" at fret 12) and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) work together to maintain consistent tuning and smooth playability.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or hard rock?
No—the UltraCure VI is purpose-built for post-punk, indie, alternative rock, and extended-range experimentation. Its articulate, controlled tone and balanced output are not designed for high-gain metal or hard rock aesthetics.
