Schecter PT Classic Electric Guitar Inferno
Description
Schecter PT Classic Electric Guitar Inferno
The PT Classic sits perfectly balanced whether standing or sitting, thanks to its ergonomic offset body shape and chambered mahogany construction that keeps fatigue out of long sets. The arched quilted maple cap with Inferno finish and natural binding commands attention on stage while delivering the balanced tonal response working musicians demand. Schecter's reputation for playability is evident in every component—the flamed maple neck with ebony fingerboard, the hardware, and the electronics all built for reliable performance night after night.
Playability & Build Quality
The custom C-shaped neck and 14-inch fretboard radius cradle your hand in a natural, comfortable position across all registers, eliminating hand strain during demanding passages. The 22 jumbo stainless steel frets cut sharp and consistent, holding intonation tight across repeated performances. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.67" width) partners with Schecter Nouveau locking tuners to lock in tuning the moment you engage them—critical for gigging musicians—while the string-through-body hardtail bridge anchors every note with sustain and resonance that cuts through any mix.
Tone & Electronics
The dual-pickup setup pairs a Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge pickup with a Schecter USA Pasadena Classic neck pickup, giving you articulate highs and warm lows with the clarity you need to be heard live. The volume, tone (push-pull), and 3-way switch control set puts tonal shaping exactly where you need it, from chimey single-coil textures to thick humbucker saturation—all accessible without looking down.
