Description
Schecter PT SLS Evil Twin Electric Guitar Satin Black
The PT SLS Evil Twin sits in the hands with an Ultra Thin 'C' neck profile measuring .748" at the first fret—a design engineered for speed and comfort across extended playing sessions. Neck-thru construction grants instant access to all 24 frets without awkward body contours, while the satin black finish with ivory binding and arched swamp ash body projects a refined stage presence. Built for gigging musicians and demanding players, this instrument pairs professional aesthetics with genuine playability across its full ebony fingerboard.
Playability & Construction
The maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods stays rock-solid under the rigors of touring and studio work, resisting neck movement across temperature and humidity changes. The 25.5" scale, 12"-16" compound fretboard radius, and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets support everything from lightning-fast runs to buttery smooth string bending, while the ebony fingerboard with Roman numeral inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keeps you oriented whether in dim venue lighting or bright studio conditions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic magnet bridge and alnico neck—deliver the articulate attack and dynamic response needed for cutting through live mixes, with push-pull coil-split controls on both volume and tone knobs letting you sculpt your voice mid-set. A Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design locks in tuning stability for marathon gigs, while the 2-way truss rod with heel access spoke wheel keeps neck relief adjustable without ever removing the instrument from your hands.
