Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar Pelham Blue
Description
Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar Pelham Blue
The Schecter Ultra captures articulate midrange and bright transients essential for tracking in any studio setting. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 24.75" scale length enable precise fingering for tight rhythm work or expressive lead lines, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access ensures full tonal coupling from the body without upper-fret compromise. The Pelham Blue finish paired with white binding and black hardware adds visual depth to recordings and live sessions alike. This instrument is engineered for producers and engineers seeking professional-grade components and session-ready reliability.
Neck & Fretboard Architecture
The three-piece mahogany neck features carbon fiber reinforcement rods for neck stability under tuning stress and a thin 'C' shape that measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—optimized for both fast tracking passes and comfortable long-session recording. A 14" fretboard radius with 22 X-Jumbo frets and pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays on the ebony fretboard ensures clean intonation capture and visual clarity across takes, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width preserves string-to-string definition for clarity in dense mixes.
Pickup Design & Signal Path
The dual-pickup configuration pairs the Schecter USA Sunset Strip™ bridge pickup with the Schecter USA Pasadena™ neck pickup, delivering flexible tonal range from aggressive articulation to warm, sustained notes that sit naturally in mix contexts. Control via straightforward Volume/Volume/Tone (Push-Pull)/3-Way Switch topology allows quick tonal adjustments between takes without menu diving. Hardware includes Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners for tuning stability across overdub sessions and a TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece for solid string anchoring and consistent sustain.
