Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar in Pellham Blue Prototype 2572
Description
Schecter Ultra Electric Guitar in Pellham Blue Prototype 2572
The Schecter Ultra cuts through with a thin, fast neck profile that locks into your hand thanks to its Thin 'C' shape and carefully tapered dimensions. This set-neck construction mahogany body delivers solid sustain and resonance—exactly what you need for cutting through a mix on stage, while the rosewood fretboard with 22 X-Jumbo frets responds cleanly across the entire range. The Pellham Blue finish on this prototype model turns heads with a striking visual that backs up its straightforward, player-focused design.
Playability & Feel
The thin neck profile measures just .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, locking in comfortably during hours of gigs and rehearsals. A 1.653" nut width and 14" fretboard radius deliver a modern feel that balances low action with solid resistance to string buzz, while the 25.5" scale maintains traditional string tension and intonation stability night after night.
Construction & Hardware
Built in South Korea with set-neck joinery, the mahogany body and rosewood fretboard combination yields warm sustain and refined aesthetics that stand up to stage use. Hardware includes Grover tuners for reliable tuning stability between sets and retro knobs that match the instrument's vintage-inflected character, while the guitar arrives strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (.010–.046) strings ready to play.
