Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar in Pellham Blue Prototype 2572
Description
Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar in Pellham Blue Prototype 2572
The Schecter Ultra delivers a thin, fast neck profile that accommodates extended tracking and overdub sessions thanks to its Thin 'C' shape and carefully tapered dimensions. This set-neck construction mahogany body provides solid sustain and resonance ideal for layering in the mix, while the rosewood fretboard with 22 X-Jumbo frets offers smooth, consistent note articulation across the entire range. The Pellham Blue finish on this prototype model presents a striking visual that complements its straightforward, engineering-focused design.
Playability & Recording Feel
The thin neck profile measures just .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, making this guitar exceptionally comfortable during long recording and production sessions. A 1.653" nut width and 14" fretboard radius create a modern feel that balances low action with resistance to string buzz, while the 25.5" scale maintains traditional string tension and intonation stability essential for tight takes and punch-in work.
Tonal Foundation & Build
Built in South Korea with set-neck joinery, the mahogany body and rosewood fretboard combination yields warm sustain and controlled resonance that translates well to both direct recording and miked setups. Hardware includes Grover tuners for reliable tuning stability across multiple takes and retro knobs that match the instrument's refined character, while the guitar ships strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (.010–.046) strings.
