Tuned one octave below standard tuning, the Schecter Robert Smith ULTRACURE VI Electric Guitar is an improvement over the 6-string bass of the early "60s. This model features a set neck for added sustain and durability. The ULTRACURE VI is the perfect instrument for guitarists who are cure fans and want to add depth to their own music. With its 30" scale, it can be strummed like a guitar or plucked like a bass. Seymour Duncan SJAG-1 Pickups with 3 On-Off switches permit a maximum number of pickup combinations while single master volume and tone controls simplify overall sonic adjustments. A TonePros bridge and Grover tuners permit perfect intonation and accurate tuning. Grover Tuners The original Rotomatic® with an improved higher ratio gearing. The 18:1 ratio provides for finer tuning and greater stability. The finer gears provide smoother tuning and a higher degree of backlash elimination Maple Fingerboard Very bright and dense, Maple is highly reflective. When used on a fretboard, Maple encourages tremendous amounts of higher overtones and its tight, almost filtered away bass favors harmonics and variations in pick attack. Seymour Duncan SJAG-1 Pickups Every detail in sound, construction, and appearance is faithfully duplicated in this vintage pickup. Even the original hand grinding process is used on the magnetic pole pieces. The result is that classic "60s sound. Middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity ("RW/RP") to create a hum canceling effect when used together with the bridge or neck pickup. 3-pc Maple w/Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods Neck Made with 3 pieces of maple for extra stability. Where standard necks may show aging defects from temperature and moisture changes throughout the years, the 3 piece neck will stay nice and straight for a lifetime of playability. Two Carbon Fiber Rods are installed next to the Truss Rod for extra stability. Stronger than an equivalent volume of steel, Carbon Fiber adds little weight, but adds significant stiffness.Set Neck w/ Ultra Access Construction Mahogany Body 3-pc Maple w/Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods Neck Maple Fingerboard 24X Jumbo Frets Black Pearl Stars & Moons Inlay Grover Tuners Seymour Duncan SJAG-1 Pickups Vol/Tone/3 On-Off Sliders Electronics TonePros System w/Custom Brass Saddles Bridge 30" Scale Chrome Hardware
