Description
Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar Gold Top
The Schecter PT Fastback combines a lightweight mahogany body with a thin "C"-profile maple neck that feels fast and responsive under the hands without inducing fatigue across long gigs or sessions. The gold top finish produces a warm, articulate tone—balanced between punchy midrange clarity and smooth high-end response—that cuts through on stage across rock, blues, and any genre demanding precision. Built for working musicians who demand both comfort during extended play and sonic character that rewards intentional technique.
Playability & Construction
The thin "C"-shaped neck measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 25.5" scale and 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius ebony fretboard. A Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.653" width) and 2-way adjustable truss rod lock in stable intonation and neck relief adjustment, while the bolt-on mahogany body with ivory binding and diamond hardtail bridge guarantee reliable tuning stability night after night and direct string-to-body energy transfer for every note.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups in neck and bridge positions deliver responsive clarity across the entire frequency spectrum—articulate without harshness, punchy enough to be heard in a full band mix. The electronics layout—2 Volume / 2 Tone (Push-Pull) / 3-Way Switch—grants flexible real-time tonal sculpting, while chrome hardware and Grover tuners complete a hardware spec built for touring reliability and tuning stability under stage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it comfortable for long sessions?
The PT Fastback features a thin C-profile maple neck measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, specifically designed to reduce fatigue during extended playing. The lightweight mahogany body and ergonomic neck profile make it ideal for players who spend hours at a time performing or recording.
What pickups are in this guitar, and how do they handle different genres?
It's equipped with Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups in both neck and bridge positions, delivering responsive clarity across the frequency spectrum. These pickups excel in rock, blues, and indie contexts where punchy midrange and articulate high-end response are essential; they are not optimized for metal or high-gain djent applications.
How does the bridge contribute to tuning stability?
The diamond hardtail bridge is fixed directly to the mahogany body, eliminating the moving parts of a tremolo system and ensuring consistent tuning stability during performance or recording. Paired with Grover tuners and a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut, the entire hardware platform is engineered for reliable intonation over extended sessions.
What control options are available for shaping tone?
The guitar features 2 Volume / 2 Tone controls with Push-Pull functionality and a 3-Way selector switch, allowing you to engage different tonal combinations and access hidden voicings. This layout provides flexible on-the-fly shaping without overwhelming complexity, ideal for live or studio use.
What is the fretboard specification, and who should consider this guitar?
The ebony fretboard includes 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14-inch radius with block inlays, suited for intermediate, advanced, and professional players seeking precision and comfort. The 25.5" scale length and thin neck profile make it particularly appealing to players transitioning from or familiar with Fender-style scales who want mahogany warmth and character.
