Description
Schecter PT Black Ops LH Left-Handed Guitar
The Schecter PT Black Ops LH is engineered to cut through dense mixes with aggressive clarity while maintaining the ergonomic balance a left-handed player needs for marathon tracking and overdub sessions. Built with premium tonewoods and active electronics, this instrument delivers a fast, responsive playing platform that translates precisely to recorded performances. The thin "C" neck profile and set-neck construction enable the kind of intonation accuracy and sustain that studio-grade recordings demand.
Playability & Build Quality
A 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement and set-neck joint provide exceptional stability and sustain, while the thin "C" neck shape sits comfortably in hand for extended play. The 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 14-inch radius offer fast, responsive action across the 25.5-inch scale, backed by Schecter locking tuners and a Hipshot Hardtail bridge for rock-solid tuning stability.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern active pickup captures articulate, punchy tones with dynamic range and clarity across recording sessions, controlled via a 3-way toggle switch for quick tonal adjustment between takes. The mahogany body in black satin finish contributes warm, defined midrange character that sits well in dense arrangements, while the active electronics ensure consistent gain structure and noise rejection—critical for clean, usable tracks in any session environment.
