Schecter Meegs PT Extended Range Guitar Charcoal Burst
Description
Schecter Meegs PT Extended Range Guitar Charcoal Burst
This extended-range instrument captures heavy, articulate tones with a thin "C" neck profile that supports fast tracking and fluid playing, while the 27.5" scale length locks in tight string tension ideal for lower tunings and drop-tuned sessions. The Charcoal Burst finish paired with satin gold hardware presents a striking modern aesthetic, while the ash body and bolt-on construction deliver punchy, well-defined response with excellent sustain for recording heavy material with clarity and impact.
Playability & Construction
The maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists flex and maintains structural stability across the extended scale, ensuring consistent intonation during tracking and long sessions. 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius fretboard allow precise articulation and expressive bending, while the neck thickness progression—20mm at the first fret, 22mm at the twelfth—supports both rapid passage work and comfortable sustained playing. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 42.4mm width optimizes string spacing and tuning retention for reliable multi-take recording, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod enables quick neck adjustments between sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Brimstone™ pickups deliver high-output, aggressive tones that cut through dense mixes and sit naturally in heavy production, with a 3-way selector and push-pull coil-split function on the master tone control providing versatile tonal shaping across rhythm and lead parts. The Diamond Hardtail bridge locks in unwavering tuning stability and sustain across takes, while the ash body contributes bright, balanced undertones that translate well on playback and mix integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tunings does this guitar handle?
The 27.5" extended scale length and included Ernie Ball Baritone Not Even Slinky strings (.012–.056) support drop tunings and lower registers without string slackness. The tight string tension engineered into the design maintains articulate response even in extreme tunings.
How does the neck feel for fast playing?
The thin "C" profile measures 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the twelfth, creating a fast, responsive feel ideal for metal and djent techniques. Carbon-fiber reinforcement rods resist neck dive and maintain structural stability across the extended scale length.
What tonal range does the coil-split provide?
The push-pull coil-split function on the master tone control and 3-way pickup selector allow you to blend between the aggressive, high-output Brimstone pickups for full humbucking tones and single-coil voices for brighter, articulate response. This adds recording and live-set versatility without swapping instruments.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or traditional styles?
This guitar is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, djent, and drop-tuning applications and is not recommended for jazz, folk, or traditional country playing. Its aggressive pickup design, extended-range tuning, and bright undertones are optimized for heavy music.
What hardware ensures tuning stability?
The Diamond Hardtail bridge locks in rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, paired with Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut for reliable intonation across the extended 27.5" scale.
