Schecter’s new Ultra Przym Mercury Rose electric guitar blends vintage inspiration with bold, modern design and pro-level hardware, offering a visually arresting instrument that delivers top-tier performance. Designed for players who demand tone, speed, and stage presence, the Mercury Rose stands out with a futuristic anodized aluminum top layered over a classic Mahogany body.
At the heart of the Mercury Rose‘s tone are a pair of Schecter USA pickups: the Pasadena Classic in the neck and the Pasadena Plus in the bridge. This combination gives players access to a wide tonal spectrum — from warm, articulate cleans to aggressive high-output crunch. The Pasadena Classic provides smooth low-end response and midrange clarity ideal for lead work or rhythm playing, while the Pasadena Plus adds punch and power for modern rock and metal tones. Push-pull coil-splitting controls further extend tonal flexibility, offering crisp single-coil textures at the flip of a switch.
Playability is equally prioritized. The Ebony fingerboard features a 12″–16″ compound radius, allowing for easy chord work near the nut and fast, accurate bends higher up the neck. With 22 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, the Mercury Rose provides the kind of tactile feedback and long-term durability favored by technical players. The thin “C” neck profile and satin finish support fast, fluid movement across the fretboard, making it ideal for extended sessions or demanding live sets.
For enhanced sustain and precise tuning stability, the guitar is equipped with a Hipshot hardtail bridge and string-through-body design. This setup increases resonance and vibration transfer, resulting in better sustain and tonal depth across the board. Adjustable saddles make it easy to dial in intonation and string height, while a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut reduces friction and ensures smooth, stable tuning. Combined, the hardware choices on the Mercury Rose reflect a focus on reliability, resonance, and player control.
Schecter‘s construction quality is on full display here. The three-piece Mahogany set neck is reinforced with two carbon fiber rods, delivering exceptional rigidity and long-term structural stability. A two-way adjustable truss rod allows players to fine-tune the neck to match their preferences or adapt to changing conditions. Satin black hardware completes the look, enhancing both the guitar’s visual appeal and its resistance to wear.
The visual centerpiece of the Mercury Rose is the Red anodized aluminum top – a rare feature at this price point. It not only elevates the guitar’s aesthetic but also contributes to its resonance and tonal definition. “Mercury” inlays on the fingerboard add a unique identity, while subtle body shaping and smooth neck transitions ensure comfort during long sessions. Whether seen under stage lights or in a studio setting, this guitar commands attention.
