Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar — Gloss Black
The PT Fastback is engineered to sit comfortably in extended recording sessions without fatigue, pairing an offset body design with a thin ‘C’ neck profile that accelerates fretboard navigation during tracking. This instrument captures rock, surf, and alternative textures with articulate precision—delivering both clean, defined single-coil character and full humbucker presence depending on your session needs and mix context.
Playability & Recording Stability
The thin ‘C’ neck shape measures 0.787″ at the 1st fret and 0.866″ at the 12th fret, combined with a 14″ fretboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets, enabling fast, accurate position changes ideal for layered takes and lead overdubs. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653″ width) locks strings reliably and maintains consistent intonation across tuning stability sessions, while the maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement resists seasonal movement and ensures repeatable playability between recording dates.
Tone Shaping & Session Flexibility
The paired Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups are individually splittable via push-pull tone controls, letting you toggle between single-coil articulation and full humbucker body within the same song or production pass. Two volume and two tone controls with a 3-way switch shape your recorded tone across a spectrum—from clean, cutting definition to driven presence—without losing clarity in dense mixes.
