Description
Schecter PT SLS Elite Electric Guitar Antique Fade Burst
The PT SLS Elite sits perfectly in your hands thanks to its ultra-thin 'C' neck profile and neck-through construction with ultra access, letting you navigate upper frets without breaking your grip. The flamed maple top with Antique Fade Burst finish catches light on stage while the swamp ash body delivers balanced resonance and sustain that cuts through a mix. This instrument puts versatility and ergonomic refinement in the hands of players who refuse to compromise.
Playability & Feel
The neck's Maple/Walnut/Padauk multi-ply construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays rock-solid under the demands of gigging—zero neck dive, zero surprises. A 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets gives your fingers speed and comfort across the entire neck, while the Ernie Ball compensated nut at 1.653" width locks in clean intonation and smooth string-to-string transitions night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Twin Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—ceramic magnet in the bridge and Alnico in the neck—deliver clarity and gig-ready punch. Both pickups feature push-pull coil-split controls on volume and tone, giving you single-coil snap without changing guitars. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body locks in tuning stability and maximizes sustain, keeping you locked in from soundcheck through the last song.
