Schecter Ultra III – Vintage Red – Professionally PLEK'd at Sweetwater – Exceptional Playing Condition

Serial Number: W12031502

If you're familiar with the Schecter Ultra III, you already know this isn't your typical production guitar.

The Ultra III occupies a unique space in the guitar world, combining vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern playability and an incredibly versatile pickup platform. It's one of those instruments that continually surprises players with just how much tonal ground it can cover.

This particular example has received one of the most valuable upgrades a serious player can make:

Professionally PLEK'd at Sweetwater Sound

This guitar has been processed through Sweetwater's renowned PLEK facility and subsequently received a fresh professional setup and restring in May 2026.

For those unfamiliar, a PLEK machine digitally analyzes the neck, fretboard, and frets under simulated string tension, allowing microscopic fret corrections that simply cannot be duplicated by traditional methods.

The result is:

• Extremely low, comfortable action
• Outstanding fret consistency
• Excellent intonation throughout the neck
• Reduced buzz and dead spots
• Effortless bends and vibrato
• Maximum playing comfort

A Sweetwater PLEK service alone typically costs approximately $300 plus tax.

Simply put, this guitar plays exceptionally well.

Condition

This Ultra III is in excellent overall condition.

It has been played and enjoyed, but carefully maintained.

There are a few minor cosmetic dents and surface marks consistent with normal use. Nothing excessive, nothing abusive, and nothing that affects performance in any way.

Many players would consider these small signs of use to add character, mojo, and authenticity to the instrument.

The finish remains vibrant and presents beautifully.

Playability

This is one of those guitars that immediately feels "dialed in."

• Stable tuning
• Smooth fretwork
• Comfortable action
• Excellent intonation
• Responsive feel
• Inspiring to play

Whether you're tracking in the studio, performing live, rehearsing, or simply enjoying a long playing session at home, this guitar feels refined, predictable, and effortless.

The neck plays fast without feeling sterile, while the setup allows both aggressive picking and expressive lead work.

Tone

The Ultra III has developed a loyal following because of its unique tonal personality.

It delivers exceptional clarity, articulation, note separation, and harmonic detail while still retaining warmth and punch.

This is a guitar that can comfortably move between:

• Classic Rock
• Indie Rock
• Alternative
• Blues
• Americana
• Garage Rock
• Power Pop
• Modern Worship
• Studio Session Work

Clean tones remain open and chimey.

Overdriven sounds retain excellent definition and string-to-string separation.

Complex chords stay articulate while single-note lines cut through a mix with authority.

It's the type of guitar that records extremely well and consistently finds its place in a track without fighting for space.

Headstock Detail

The original Schecter logo badge was intentionally removed from the headstock.

This was a personal aesthetic preference, as I preferred the cleaner and more understated appearance without the badge.

The modification is purely cosmetic and does not affect playability, functionality, or structural integrity in any way.

Why This Guitar Stands Out

Many used guitars are sold exactly as they came from the factory.

This one has already received the type of attention that serious players typically spend additional money pursuing after purchase.

The professional PLEK treatment, fresh setup, stable tuning, and overall condition make this a particularly attractive example for someone who values playability as much as tone.

It's ready to go immediately for recording sessions, rehearsals, live performances, or collection duty.

No projects.

No excuses.

Just a great-playing guitar that's already been dialed in by professionals.

A Classy 6-string with a Vintage Vibe!

Half retro, half modern the Schecter Ultra III solidbody electric guitar gives you a unique combination of vintage vibe and killer tone. It looks like it could have jumped right off of the page of an early '60s guitar catalog, yet once you get your hands on an Ultra III, you'll discover the smooth feel, fast action, and massive tonal range nothing short of a cutting-edge guitar can deliver. At the same time, its Bigsby Licensed tailpiece and archtop-style Duncan Designed humbucking pickups make the Ultra III perfect for rockabilly and roots rock styles.

Schecter Ultra III - Vintage Red

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, 3-pc Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 3 Archtop-style Humbucking Pickup with Coil-tapping - Vintage Red

Schecter Ultra III Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

• Classic vibe takes you back to the roots of modern rock music
  
• Bigsby licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece lets you play slow subtle bends
  
• Duncan Designed FG-101 pickups give you big, slightly rude rockabilly sound
  

Classic vibe takes you back to the roots of modern rock music

Before you pick it up, before you plug it in, just step back a second and take a good long look at this beauty. Schecter may be best known for their more aggressive style of guitars, but their Ultra III is nothing if not classy in a unique retro chic kind of way... without being an obvious throwback or blatant re-creation of some long-defunct '50s/'60s-era guitar model. If you've been looking for a cool vibe to add character to your stage presence, or an anachronistic-style guitar to inspire your creativity, then you're going to be delighted with the Schecter Ultra III.

Bigsby licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece lets you play slow subtle bends

Speaking of vintage vibe, nothing beats the look, feel, and sound of a classic Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. With the Bigsby Licensed B50 tailpiece (a model nearly identical to the original Bigsby B5) on the Schecter Ultra III electric guitar, you've got the ability to pull off the long, slow, smooth, and subtle bends made famous by rockabilly and surf guitarists, which is seeing a major revival among up-and-coming rockers. Whether you want to ride the retro wave or see what this cool tailpiece can do for your style of music, you'll totally dig the Ultra III's Bigsby B50.

Duncan Designed FG-101 pickups give you big, slightly rude rockabilly sound

Closely modeled after some of the most popular boutique humbucker out there, the Duncan Designed FG-101 pickups loaded on the Ultra III give you a hot, snarling tone that you'd more typically expect to get from an old-school archtop. With fully adjustable pole pieces and the Ultra III's cool 3-position switches for each pickup (off, humbucker, coil-tap), you've got absolute control over your tone.

Schecter Ultra III Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

• Cool and classy electric guitar that's perfect for traditional roots and rockabilly styles, as well as modern rock, blues, and country
• Three Duncan Designed FG-101 archtop-style humbuckers give you brash and snarly tone
• 3-position pickup switches let you configure each pickup as either off, humbucking, or coil-tapped for bright single-coil sound
• Bigsby Licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece lets you pull off long, slow, and subtle bends
• Grover tuners and a roller bridge give you smooth action and freakishly stable tuning

Get a cool vibe and massive tonal range from the Schecter Ultra III solidbody electric guitar!
