Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar — Gloss Black
The PT Fastback sits naturally in your hands thanks to its offset body contour, engineered to keep fatigue out of extended sets so you stay locked in from first song to last. The thin 'C' neck profile lives under your fingers like it was made for your fretting hand, pairing speed with comfort across every position. Built for rock, surf, and alternative players who demand both precision and expression, this guitar translates technique into articulate, cutting tone that cuts through a live mix.
Playability & Comfort
The thin 'C' neck shape measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, combined with a 14" fretboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets, letting you move fast and smooth across the board for effortless lead work. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) locks your strings in place with zero slip and holds intonation gig after gig, while the maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement stays stable through tour schedules and seasonal changes—no dead spots, no neck dive surprises.
Tone & Electronics
The paired Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups split individually via push-pull tone controls, giving you single-coil snap or full humbucker grunt without swapping instruments mid-set. Two volume and two tone controls with a 3-way switch open up everything from clean articulate tones to driven presence that stays clear and defined, no matter how hard you dig in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar suited for?
The PT Fastback is designed for intermediate to advanced players. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 22 X-Jumbo frets facilitate fast position changes and smooth lead work, making it ideal for players with developing or established technique in rock, alternative, and surf styles.
Can I switch between single-coil and humbucker tones?
Yes. The Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups are individually splittable via push-pull tone controls, allowing you to select single-coil articulation or full humbucker thickness within the same performance without changing guitars.
How does the neck stay stable over time?
The maple neck features carbon fiber reinforcement, which resists seasonal movement and maintains stable playability. The 2-way adjustable truss rod also allows you to fine-tune relief as needed.
What genres is this guitar best for?
The PT Fastback is engineered for rock, surf, and alternative styles. Its articulate, cutting tone and versatile pickup configuration make it less suited for jazz or classical applications, which typically call for warmer, rounder voicings.
What is the scale length and nut width?
The PT Fastback has a 25.5-inch scale length and a 1.653-inch nut width. The thin 'C' neck measures 0.787 inches at the 1st fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, with a 14-inch fretboard radius for smooth playability.
