Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar Pelham Blue
Description
Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar Pelham Blue
The Schecter Ultra sits naturally in your hands with its thin 'C' neck profile and 24.75" scale length, giving you the kind of balanced feel that works equally well for rapid passages and controlled lead work. The Pelham Blue finish paired with white binding and black hardware presents sharp visual presence on stage, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access gets you to those upper frets without neck dive or body loss—essential for gigging musicians who need reliable upper-register access. Built on professional-grade components and manufacturing standards, this instrument delivers the consistency you need night after night.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece mahogany neck features carbon fiber reinforcement rods for rock-solid stability and a thin 'C' shape that measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—these dimensions let your hand move freely without sacrificing grip during extended sets. A 14" fretboard radius with 22 X-Jumbo frets and pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays on the ebony fretboard gives you fast, accurate fretting with visual markers you can read from across a venue, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures every string rings with clarity and sustain.
Tone & Electronics
The dual-pickup setup pairs the Schecter USA Sunset Strip™ bridge pickup with the Schecter USA Pasadena™ neck pickup, giving you the tonal range to cover everything from cutting rhythm tones to warm, singing leads—all managed through a straightforward Volume/Volume/Tone (Push-Pull)/3-Way Switch layout that keeps you focused on playing. The Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners lock in your pitch reliably between songs, and the TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with T1Z tailpiece anchor your strings with the kind of sustain that projects through any venue.
