Schecter positioned the Ultra-III as a set-neck electric guitar built around a mahogany body and a three-piece mahogany neck, finished in Vintage Blue. The model carried a flat-top body contour with a raised centre section and sculptured edges, bound in ivory single-ply binding, and was manufactured in South Korea.
The neck joined the body via set-neck construction and carried a rosewood fretboard with pearl block inlays, a 14-inch radius, and 22 extra-jumbo frets across a 25.5-inch (648 mm) scale. 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 (42 mm) wide, and the truss rod accepted a 5/32-inch (4 mm) Allen key for two-way adjustment. A Bigsby Flat Top B50 paired with a roller tune-o-matic handled vibrato and intonation, all finished in chrome hardware. Three Duncan Designed pickups — FG-101N at the neck, FG-1010M in the middle, and FG-101B at the bridge — were controlled by individual on-off-coil-split slider switches alongside a dedicated volume and tone control. Grover tuners and retro-style knobs completed the hardware complement. The Ultra-III shipped with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010–.046); the SGR 11-UM Ultra case was sold separately.
Owners requiring setup adjustments, fret work, or parts sourcing for components such as the Bigsby unit, roller bridge saddles, or Graph Tech nut should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with set-neck instruments.
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.
