Schecter PT-7 Multiscale Black Ops Lefty Guitar
Description
Schecter PT-7 Multiscale Black Ops Left-Handed Guitar
The PT-7 Multiscale Black Ops is built for left-handed 7-string players who demand a neck that disappears in the hand and bridge hardware that locks in tuning night after night on stage. Its slim Thin "C" neck profile and carbon-reinforced mahogany construction provide both speed and long-term stability, while the multiscale design balances string tension naturally across the extended range for cleaner articulation and easier fretting. The aggressive satin black finish and purposeful hardware setup mark this as a serious instrument engineered for technical, progressive, and heavy playing styles.
Playability & Feel
The carbon-fiber reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck resists neck dive and holds tuning under live demands, while the 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and 16" fretboard radius reward fast legato work and precision picking. The Thin "C" profile (20mm at the 1st fret, 22mm at the 12th) sits naturally in the hand for extended sessions, and the Set-Neck with Ultra Access construction delivers fret access without compromising the sustain and resonance that define a solidly constructed instrument.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern-7 bridge pickup articulates every note across all seven strings with high output and clarity, while the 3-way voicing toggle switch lets you dial from tight, aggressive attack to warmer response on the fly. The Hipshot 7-string multiscale fixed bridge locks each string precisely in place, translating every pick strike into maximum sustain and tuning stability across the full 25.5" to 27" multiscale range—essential for touring and recording sessions.
