Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure VI Electric Guitar Silver Burst Pearl
Description
Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure VI Electric Guitar Silver Burst Pearl
The UltraCure VI sits naturally in the hand with its slim Thin "C" neck profile, delivering a comfortable, controlled playing experience across its extended 30" scale. The mahogany body with set-neck construction and Ultra Access cutaway opens up the upper frets for seamless access, while the Silver Burst Pearl finish commands attention on any stage. Built for players who demand extended range and articulate tone without compromise on ergonomic playability.
Playability & Build Quality
Neck stability across the extended scale comes from 3-piece maple construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with Mother of Pearl block inlays lock in precise intonation and reward smooth, expressive lateral work, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width keeps tuning rock-solid through a full set. The thin profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth fret—dimensions that minimize hand fatigue and maximize reach during long gigs and sessions.
Electronics & Tone
Three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups—bridge (SJAG-1B), middle (SJAG-1M), and neck (SJAG-1N)—capture articulate, controlled output with three on-off slider switches for fast pickup selection on the fly. The TonePros bridge system with custom brass saddles anchors stable intonation and resonant sustain, while volume and tone controls with metal knurled knobs deliver responsive tactile feedback and reliability you can count on night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar designed for?
The UltraCure VI is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The slim Thin C neck profile and Ultra Access cutaway are ergonomically optimized, but the 30" extended scale and specialized electronics are best appreciated by players comfortable with extended-range tuning and precision technique.
What comes in the box and what strings does it use?
The UltraCure VI ships with Ernie Ball Hellcat VI Custom strings (90-75-56-44-34-24 gauge) already installed. The guitar includes all hardware and electronics factory-installed and ready to play.
How do the three Seymour Duncan pickups and slider switches work?
Three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups (bridge, middle, and neck) are controlled by three on-off slider switches, letting you select any combination of pickups for tonal flexibility. This gives you six different voicing options without traditional pickup selectors, ideal for crafting articulate, controlled tones across genres.
What makes the neck stable at 30 inches?
The neck uses 3-piece maple construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods to resist the tension of the extended scale. The Thin C profile (0.787" at fret 1, 0.866" at fret 12) and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) work together to maintain consistent tuning and smooth playability.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or hard rock?
No—the UltraCure VI is purpose-built for post-punk, indie, alternative rock, and extended-range experimentation. Its articulate, controlled tone and balanced output are not designed for high-gain metal or hard rock aesthetics.
