Schecter PT Classic Electric Guitar Caribbean Fade Burst
Description
Schecter PT Classic Electric Guitar – Caribbean Fade Burst
The PT Classic sits naturally in your hands with a comfortable, fast neck that responds across all registers thanks to its Custom C profile tapering from 0.80" to 0.85". Built at the Fujigen Custom Shop in Japan, this guitar delivers serious playing performance wrapped in exquisite aesthetics—a chambered mahogany body with a quilted maple top that catches stage light beautifully in the Caribbean Fade Burst finish.
Playability & Feel
The flamed maple neck with ebony fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets provide a smooth, durable playing surface that handles both rhythm and lead work with equal ease. A 14" fretboard radius and Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut (1.67" width) ensure excellent intonation and tonal clarity, while mother of pearl dot inlays and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers keep you oriented under any stage lighting.
Tone & Electronics
Two Schecter USA Pasadena pickups—Classic in the neck and Plus in the bridge—give you versatile tones from clean, crisp responses to rich, warm overdrive. The push-pull tone control lets you dial between humbucker and single-coil voicings on the fly, while Schecter Nouveau locking tuners and a hardtail bridge with string-through design keep the instrument locked in during gigs and transfer resonance directly to the body across the standard 25.5" scale length.
