Schecter Ultra-III guitar in Ivory Pearl
Description
Schecter Ultra-III Electric Guitar Ivory Pearl
The Schecter Ultra-III captures articulate, responsive tones across a wide range of recording applications thanks to its smooth, fast-playing neck and perfectly balanced mahogany body that translates technique directly into your DAW. Its flat top with raised center and sculptured edges create an ergonomic platform equally suited to sustained lead layers and rhythmic precision tracking. The Ivory Pearl finish signals the quality embedded throughout—from the hardware to the electronics—making this a serious instrument for producers and engineers who demand both playability and tonal versatility in the studio.
Playability & Recording Response
The three-piece mahogany neck with a comfortable 'C' shape measures .826" at the 1st fret and .905" at the 12th fret, providing consistent feel and predictable tracking across overdub sessions. Twenty-two X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius fretboard combined with the 24.75" scale enable fast, clean position shifts and clear note articulation that translates well to recording, while the set-neck construction and white binding deliver structural integrity and visual clarity. The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Grover Vintage tuners ensure tuning stability through extended takes and refined tonal character.
Tone & Electronics for Studio Flexibility
Three Schecter Diamond Alnico Plus Gold Foil pickups (bridge, middle, neck) paired with a 5-way rotary pickup switch and three on-off coil-split sliders generate everything from warm, articulate cleans to thick, aggressive overdriven textures—essential for tracking multiple tonal approaches in a single session. The Bigsby Flat Top B50 bridge with Roller TonePros TOM TPFR–T3BT delivers excellent sustain and tonal resonance that sits naturally in dense mixes, while the volume/tone controls and retro knobs provide intuitive, hands-on access to your sound palette during recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck shape and dimensions should I expect?
The Ultra-III features a three-piece mahogany neck in a comfortable 'C' shape, measuring 0.826" at the 1st fret and 0.905" at the 12th fret. The 24.75" scale length and 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius radius fretboard provide fast position shifts and clear articulation across the board.
How many pickup configurations can I get from the coil-split system?
Three Schecter Diamond Alnico Plus Gold Foil pickups work with a 5-way rotary switch and three on-off coil-split sliders, giving you single-coil and humbucker voicings across bridge, middle, and neck positions. This generates everything from warm, articulate cleans to thick, aggressive overdriven textures.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or djent?
No; the Ultra-III is optimized for jazz, blues, rock, and studio sessions. Its warm, articulate character and semi-hollow construction are not designed for the high-gain, percussive demands of metal or djent playing.
What bridge does it use, and how does it affect sustain?
The Bigsby Flat Top B50 bridge paired with Roller TonePros TOM hardware delivers excellent sustain and tonal resonance. Set-neck construction further enhances durability and resonance.
What is included with the guitar?
The Ultra-III ships with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (0.010–0.046 gauge). A strap, cable, or gig bag are not included with the standard package.
