Schecter Ultra Przym Mercury Rose Electric guitar
Description
Schecter Ultra Przym Mercury Rose – Gloss Black
The Schecter Ultra Przym Mercury Rose sits naturally in your hands with its thin "C" neck profile and deep-access body contour, cutting fatigue on marathon gigs and long studio days. Built with premium construction that translates directly to stage reliability, this instrument carries itself with refined aesthetics that photograph sharp under bright lights. The gloss black finish and luminous fretboard markers read distinctly modern without sacrificing the instrument's workhorse presence.
Playability & Feel
The mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods measures 1st fret 20mm to 12th fret 22mm—a profile that stays fast and responsive under your fingers across the 24.75" scale. Twenty-two X-Jumbo stainless steel frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard give you excellent intonation tracking and smooth bending control across the entire range, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (42mm width) delivers crisp attack and locks tuning between sets.
Tone & Live Reliability
The dual Schecter USA Pasadena and Pasadena Plus humbuckers cut through a live mix with warm, articulate character and excellent sustain that responds cleanly across all gain levels. The Hipshot hardtail bridge and Schecter locking tuners anchor tuning stability night after night with virtually zero maintenance, while the deep insert joint construction maximizes resonance and gives you fast access to those upper-register notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the thin "C" neck profile and body contour better for long sessions?
The thin "C" profile reduces hand fatigue during extended playing, while the deep-access body contour allows comfortable upper-fret access and lets you play seated or standing without rib pressure. This design philosophy is especially valuable for touring musicians or studio pros who log many hours in a day.
How do the coil-splitting controls expand the guitar's tonal range?
Push-pull coil-splitting on the Pasadena Classic and Plus humbuckers lets you split each pickup into single-coil mode, transforming warm, thick humbucker tone into brighter, articulate single-coil character without changing guitars. This versatility makes the Ultra Przym at home across rock, blues, and cleaner studio applications.
What scale length and fret configuration does this guitar use?
The Ultra Przym features a 24.75" scale with 22 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fingerboard with a 12"-to-16" compound radius. This combination supports smooth bending, excellent intonation, and fast playability across the full range.
How does the hardware contribute to tuning stability and maintenance?
The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body design, combined with Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, ensures rock-solid tuning retention with minimal drift—critical for touring and studio consistency. The set-neck construction with carbon fiber reinforcement adds structural rigidity that further supports stable intonation.
Is this guitar suitable for genres like progressive metal or extended-range tuning?
No; the Ultra Przym Mercury Rose is optimized for rock, blues, and hard rock in standard tuning. Its 24-fret configuration and 24.75" scale length are not designed for djent or extended-range applications.
