Schecter PT EX Dorian Gray Baritone Electric Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter PT EX in Dorian Gray takes the familiar single-cut PT platform into baritone territory with an extended 27" scale length, giving players greater string tension, low-register clarity and access to lower tunings without abandoning the feel of a conventional six-string guitar.

A Nyatoh body is paired with a carbon-fibre-reinforced Hard Rock Maple neck, ebony fingerboard and 22 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets for fast, precise modern playability. The pickup pairing of a Schecter USA Pasadena Plus bridge humbucker and SuperRock Vintage neck humbucker delivers everything from powerful, articulate rhythm tones to warmer lead and clean sounds, while a five-way selector adds useful tonal flexibility.

What Makes the Schecter PT EX Special?

The defining feature of the PT EX is its 27" baritone scale. Compared with a conventional 25.5" electric guitar, the additional length increases string tension and helps lower notes retain a tighter, clearer response. This makes the PT EX particularly useful for alternative and lower tunings where a shorter-scale guitar can begin to feel loose or lose definition. The Hard Rock Maple Thin “C” neck is reinforced with two carbon-fibre rods, while the ebony fingerboard, flat 14" radius and 22 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets provide a smooth modern playing surface.

Schecter equips the PT EX with a premium pair of USA-made passive humbuckers. The Pasadena Plus at the bridge provides punch, clarity and enough output for substantial gain, while the SuperRock Vintage at the neck offers a warmer, more rounded character. A five-way lever switch extends the available tonal range beyond a conventional three-way HH configuration, making the PT EX useful for much more than simply heavy low-tuned riffing.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter PT EX is ideal for intermediate, advanced and professional guitarists who want to explore baritone tunings while retaining a familiar six-string format and traditional straight-fret layout.

It is particularly well suited to modern metal, progressive music, alternative rock, post-rock, ambient guitar, heavy rock and studio work, but its USA pickup set makes it equally capable of cleaner and more traditional guitar sounds.

Why Choose A Baritone Electric Guitar?

A baritone guitar sits between a conventional electric guitar and bass in terms of scale and usable register. Its longer scale allows lower tunings to be used with greater string tension, helping chords remain more defined and low notes feel less loose under the picking hand.

For guitarists who regularly tune below standard pitch, a purpose-built baritone can offer a more controlled playing experience than simply fitting increasingly heavy strings to a conventional-scale guitar. The PT EX retains six strings and a familiar tuning relationship, making the transition relatively intuitive.

How Does It Compare?

Compared With A Standard Schecter PT

A conventional PT uses a shorter scale and is better suited to standard and moderately lowered tunings. The PT EX extends the scale to 27", giving it greater low-register authority and improved string tension for deeper tunings.

Compared With A Multiscale Guitar

A multiscale instrument uses different scale lengths across individual strings. The PT EX instead uses a consistent 27" scale across all six strings, retaining conventional straight frets and a familiar visual layout while still delivering the benefits of an extended scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Schecter PT EX a baritone guitar?

Yes. The PT EX uses a 27" scale length, placing it firmly in baritone territory and making it particularly well suited to lower tunings.

What is the advantage of the 27" scale?

The longer scale increases string tension compared with a conventional 25.5" guitar, helping lower notes feel tighter and remain more clearly defined.

Is it still a six-string guitar?

Yes. The PT EX uses a conventional six-string layout, so guitarists can retain familiar chord shapes and playing techniques while exploring a lower register.

What pickups are fitted?

The bridge position features a Schecter USA Pasadena Plus, while the neck uses a Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage.

Are the pickups active?

No. Both pickups are passive, so the guitar does not require a battery for normal operation.

What is the difference between the Pasadena Plus and SuperRock Vintage?

The Pasadena Plus bridge pickup provides a punchy, articulate response suited to driven rhythm and lead tones, while the SuperRock Vintage neck pickup has a warmer character suited to smoother leads and cleaner playing.

Why does it have a five-way selector?

The five-way lever provides additional tonal options beyond the basic bridge, combined and neck settings of a conventional three-way dual-humbucker guitar.

Does it have stainless-steel frets?

Yes. The PT EX features 22 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets, providing a smooth playing feel and excellent resistance to long-term fret wear.

What is the neck like?

The Hard Rock Maple neck uses Schecter’s Thin “C” profile and is reinforced with two carbon-fibre rods for additional stability.

Does it have an ebony fingerboard?

Yes. The PT EX features an ebony fingerboard with a 14" radius, providing a relatively flat, modern playing surface.

Does it have locking tuners?

Yes. Schecter locking tuners are fitted as standard, helping provide secure string attachment and quicker string changes.

Does the PT EX have a tremolo?

No. It uses a Schecter Diamond PT/H fixed bridge with string-through-body construction, making it particularly practical for alternative tunings.

What strings are fitted from the factory?

Schecter specifies Ernie Ball Baritone Not Even Slinky #2626 strings in .012-.056 gauge.

Is the PT EX only suitable for metal?

No. Although the longer scale and powerful bridge pickup make it highly capable for modern metal and lower tunings, the SuperRock Vintage neck pickup and five-way switching also make it useful for alternative, clean, ambient and general recording work.

Is a hardcase included?

No. The compatible Schecter 1622 SGR Universal Guitar Hardcase is available separately.
