Schecter positioned the Ultra-III as a set-neck electric guitar within their lineup, finished in Vintage Red. Built in South Korea, it carried a three-piece mahogany neck joined to a mahogany body with a flat-top contour featuring a raised center and sculptured edges, bound in ivory single-ply binding.
The Ultra-III shipped with a 25.5-inch scale rosewood fretboard, a 14-inch radius, 22 X-Jumbo frets, and pearl block inlays. The Thin 'C' neck profile measured .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth. Nut duties fell to a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 1.653 inches wide, and a two-way adjustable truss rod with a 5/32-inch Allen nut handled relief. Grover tuners and chrome hardware were fitted throughout. The bridge was a Bigsby Flat Top B50 paired with a roller tune-o-matic. Three Duncan Designed pickups — FG-101N at the neck, FG-101M in the middle, and FG-101B at the bridge — were wired to a volume control, a tone control, and three on/off/coil-split slider switches, topped with retro-style knobs. The guitar shipped strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings; the SGR 11-UM Ultra case was sold separately.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Bigsby B50 flat-top and roller tune-o-matic are standard units with broadly available replacement saddles and hardware; the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 42mm nut width are useful references when sourcing a replacement nut. A qualified guitar technician can advise on truss rod adjustment, pickup replacement compatibility, and correct string gauges for the existing nut slots.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
