Schecter PT Electric Guitar in Gloss Black Finish
Description
Schecter PT Electric Guitar in Gloss Black
The Schecter PT captures articulate, punchy tones with its dual Schecter Diamond SuperRock-II pickups voiced for clarity across rock, metal, and alternative sessions. Built on an alder body with bolt-on construction and a thin 'C' neck profile, the responsive 25.5" scale length supports both rhythmic definition and melodic precision. Practical hardware and a focused electronics layout—combined with the striking gloss black finish with creme binding—make this instrument a reliable workhorse for tracking and overdubs.
Playability & Feel
The neck geometry prioritizes access and comfort: a thin 'C' shape measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 14" fretboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets for quick string bending and clean note articulation. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and maple fretboard with dot inlays support both precision work and expressive playing without fatigue during extended sessions.
Recording Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond SuperRock-II pickups deliver clarity and punch in the mix, controlled via a three-way switch, master volume, and a push-pull tone control for shaping throughout a session. The PT-H bridge with string-thru-body design enhances sustain and note definition for sustained tracking passages, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod allows precise neck relief tuning to maintain playability and consistent intonation across the fretboard during production work.
