Schecter PT Electric Guitar in Gloss Black
The Schecter PT is built for players who demand responsive feel and reliable stage performance. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale sit naturally in your hands, while the alder body with bolt-on construction keeps weight balanced for long sets. Dual Schecter Diamond SuperRock-II pickups cut through live and recorded mixes with punchy, articulate tones ideal for rock, metal, and alternative playing styles. The gloss black finish with creme binding commands visual presence under stage lights, backed by practical hardware and electronics engineered for working musicians who need an instrument that stays in tune and plays night after night.
Playability & Feel
This neck was designed for players: a thin 'C' shape measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret glides under your fingers during fast passages and chord work. The 14" fretboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets make string bending intuitive and note articulation clean, whether you're playing percussive rhythm or singing lead lines. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and maple fretboard with dot inlays deliver precision and durability across touring schedules and studio sessions, keeping the instrument responsive without fatiguing your hand during extended playing.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond SuperRock-II pickups give you clarity and punch controlled by a three-way switch, master volume, and push-pull tone control for real-time tonal shaping on stage. The PT-H bridge with string-thru-body design locks in sustain and note definition so your signal stays tight and defined through PA systems and amplifiers. The 2-way adjustable truss rod lets you dial in precise neck relief, keeping playability consistent across the fretboard night after night.
