Description
Introducing the Schecter Dan Donegan Ultra—a powerhouse collaboration with Disturbed's iconic guitarist, Dan Donegan. This solid body electric guitar is crafted to embody the fierce energy and precision of its namesake. With a neck-thru-body design, this guitar not only captivates the eye but also delivers exceptional sustain and midrange warmth, making it a versatile addition to any collection.
The body is constructed from high-quality mahogany, while the 5-ply maple and walnut neck provides robust resonance and stability. Topped with a silky ebony fretboard, it features 22 extra jumbo frets along its full 25.5" scale, ideal for those seeking a smooth, effortless playing experience. The ultra-access neck joint ensures seamless transitions across the fretboard, accommodating even the most demanding solos.
Equipped with Schecter locking tuners, your tuning stability is assured even during the most intense performances. But the real magic lies in its custom Seymour Duncan pickups—a fiery "El Diablo" in the bridge position and a vintage-inspired SH-1N at the neck. These pickups deliver a wide tonal palette, from sweet, rounded highs to warm and clean tones, all the way to full-bodied distortion.
Whether you're channeling the raw power of Disturbed or exploring your own sonic landscapes, the Schecter Dan Donegan Ultra is a guitar that adapts to your style and amplifies your voice.

awsome guitar for drop tuning
this guitar seems to be at its best in any drop tuning. The action is set perfect so there is no fret buzz even as low as C standard. This guitar lives up to the quality you would expect from a signature model and the neck through construction adds crazy sustain.
Artist usage

The first guitar that Dan Donegan's guitar tech shows in this rig rundown video is Dan's signature Schecter guitar. At 0:33 his tech says, "He just switched over to this company and he's been very happy with them. I think in general the body shape of this guitar matches him a bit better cause he's a big guy." At 1:55, the guitar tech says, "He plays the same guitar—when I first got on this tour with Dan, he was playing all the exact same guitars in different colors...He is extremely about having things be as regimented as possible."
He is also featured on the Schecter's website as the user of the Dan Donegan Ultra model. The backstory behind the collaboration of Donegan and Schechter was told by Donegan in the Music Radar gear rundown.
“When I started working with Schecter they wanted to build a model, and I was looking at body styles that they had in mind and came across the Ultra. I just fell in love with how it felt with me and how it looked. With this Schecter guitar I wanted something that was a little beefier, too, and to have a little bit of weight behind it.
In the same interview, he talks about various finishes of the guitar.
There are different paint jobs on them but they are basically set up the same; the same hardware, the same pickups, just in different tunings. One of my go-tos is my signature model that has the number 96 on it - that was the year Disturbed was formed. That’s usually the one I open up the show with and I play it a couple of times a night. On the paint jobs there’s nothing really too bright; on The Game, the one I use is more a transparent blue. Some, like the 96 guitar, I had them put stripes on there because I wanted it to almost look like a vintage Shelby Cobra. I’m six-foot-one, six-two; I’ve always liked a heavier guitar, a bigger body. When I was younger I had some Les Pauls and I played some PRS guitars, too. I liked the single-cuts. I liked some of the Les Paul body styles. With this Schecter guitar I wanted something that was a little beefier, too, and to have a little bit of weight behind it, maybe get a little bit more sustain out of it. Even though Schecter is my number one endorser I play what I am comfortable with onstage or in the studio. But I really like this model. They all sound good. They play well. They’re consistent. And I’ve got pretty big hands, too, and I like the feel of it. On this recent album, Evolution, all the rhythms were with the Schecter guitar, with the exception of a few of the overdub tracks that might have been something else in the studio that I just grabbed in the moment. It depends on the song. I like layering things, even if it’s just ear candy and it’s very subtle in the mix, it gives it life.”
He says he uses this guitar live sometimes because it handles the intense volume. This guitar is also briefly mentioned in his Ultimate Guitar interview.
Then I play the [Dan] Donegan model too - they made a bunch of those for me.
