Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar Olympic White
Description
Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar Olympic White
The PT Fastback cuts through in the mix with its slim Thin "C" neck and 22 X-Jumbo frets seated on a 14" fretboard radius—built for fast tracking sessions and precise articulation on both rhythm and lead passes. The alder body with hardtail bridge construction delivers solid sustain and rock-solid tuning stability across takes. Paired with a pair of Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups, this guitar captures focused rock tones with clarity and minimal noise—essential for layering and overdubbing in the home studio.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The Thin "C" profile neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, enabling rapid session work and extended tracking without hand fatigue. X-Jumbo frets and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) ensure consistent intonation across multiple takes and smooth string-to-fretboard contact, while Grover tuners maintain stable pitch between punch-ins and overdubs.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups deliver clarity and punch for rock productions, defined via 2 Volume, 2 Tone (push-pull), and a 3-Way switch for quick tonal adjustments within a session. The Diamond Hardtail bridge and bolt-on alder body create a direct signal path with excellent sustain and note definition—critical for dialing in parts that sit cleanly in dense arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does the PT Fastback have, and is it suitable for beginners?
The Thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, making it fast and comfortable across the fingerboard. This slim shape is accessible to beginners and intermediate players but excels for anyone who values quick position changes and lead work.
What kind of tones should I expect from the Diamond UltraTron pickups?
The Diamond UltraTron pickups deliver focused, punchy rock tones with clear definition and solid sustain. They work best in rock, hard rock, indie, and modern styles; the direct signal path and hardtail bridge minimize complexity and emphasize note clarity.
Does the hardtail bridge affect tuning stability?
Yes—the Diamond Hardtail bridge provides excellent tuning stability and sustain because the strings anchor directly to the body with no moving parts. This design is ideal for gigging and recording when you need your tuning to hold throughout a set or session.
What hardware and components come standard on this guitar?
The PT Fastback includes a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width), Grover tuners, a 2-way adjustable truss rod, chrome hardware, and dual Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups controlled by 2 Volume, 2 Tone (push-pull), and a 3-way pickup selector.
How does the PT Fastback compare to similar guitars like the Schecter Omen Extreme or Ibanez RG550?
The PT Fastback shares the fast-neck philosophy of the RG550 and the focused rock voicing of the Omen Extreme, but combines it with a hardtail bridge for maximum tuning stability and a straightforward control layout. It's a middle-ground choice if you want playability and reliability without premium pricing or unnecessary features.
