Schecter PT Standard Guitar Black Fade Burst Burl
The Schecter PT Standard cuts through with a thin "C" neck profile and 25.5" scale length that rewards fast playing and aggressive picking—whether you're grinding through rhythm parts or shredding lead lines. This instrument's figured burl top and Black Fade Burst finish sit atop a solid mahogany body, delivering both visual impact on stage and the resonant character serious players rely on night after night. Roasted maple and rosewood construction keep the neck stable under pressure and the tone focused and punchy.
Playability & On-Stage Feel
The roasted maple neck with thin "C" contour and 25.5" scale feels right at home whether you're locked into a two-hour set or working through jazz changes. A 14" fretboard radius across 22 jumbo frets lets you bend freely without fighting the neck, while the graphite nut and two-way adjustable truss rod (5/32" Allen nut) hold their settings through gigs and studio sessions, keeping intonation rock-solid.
Live Tone & Electrical Reliability
A matched pair of Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers with black metal covers snap with articulate cleans and dig deep with punchy overdrive—the sonic flexibility you need to cover multiple styles in one set. Master volume and tone controls paired with a 3-way toggle switch give you straightforward, responsive tonal shaping on the fly, while the Schecter Diamond Hardtail bridge locks in tuning stability and sustain that lasts through the final song.
