Schecter PT SLS Evil Twin Electric Guitar Satin Black
Description
Schecter PT SLS Evil Twin Electric Guitar Satin Black
The PT SLS Evil Twin is engineered for studio recording and session work, pairing an exceptionally thin and fast neck profile—Ultra Thin 'C' shape measuring .748" at the first fret—with neck-thru construction that enables quick upper-register access during tracking and overdubs. The satin black finish with ivory binding and arched swamp ash body projects a polished, professional image on camera or in promotional content, while the full 24-fret ebony fingerboard delivers the extended range needed for contemporary production sessions. This instrument's responsive electronics and premium hardware support both precise multi-take recording and real-time tonal adjustments in the mix.
Stability & Intonation for Recording
Built with a maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods, the PT SLS Evil Twin resists thermal and humidity fluctuations common in studio environments, ensuring consistent intonation across sessions. The 25.5" scale, 12"-16" compound fretboard radius, and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets support both technical precision and expressive bending, while the ebony fingerboard with Roman numeral inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers aids visibility during low-light recording setups and reduces visual fatigue during extended session work.
Tone & Session Flexibility
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickup configuration—ceramic magnet bridge and alnico neck—captures both aggressive articulation and nuanced dynamic response, with push-pull coil-split controls on both volume and tone knobs enabling quick tonal pivots between takes or song sections. A Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design maximizes sustain and pitch stability during sustained notes and layered arrangements, while the 2-way truss rod with heel access spoke wheel permits quick neck adjustments between sessions without prolonged downtime.
