Schecter PT SLS Elite Evil Twin Satin Black Electric Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter PT SLS Elite Evil Twin in Satin Black takes the familiar single-cut PT body shape and transforms it into an uncompromising modern performance guitar. Its swamp ash body is built around a multi-ply Maple/Walnut/Padauk neck-through construction with Ultra Access, while a compound-radius ebony fingerboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets provide the fast, precise feel expected from Schecter’s SLS Elite range.

A pair of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers – Ceramic at the bridge and Alnico at the neck – delivers powerful contemporary tones with selectable voicings for greater versatility. Schecter locking tuners, a Hipshot string-through hardtail bridge and an exceptionally slim Ultra Thin “C” neck complete a premium specification ideally suited to modern metal, progressive styles, technical playing and demanding studio or stage work.

What Makes the Schecter PT SLS Elite Evil Twin Special?

The PT SLS Elite Evil Twin combines Schecter’s traditional single-cut PT outline with one of the company’s most performance-focused specifications. Its Maple/Walnut/Padauk multi-ply neck runs through the swamp ash body and incorporates carbon-fibre reinforcement rods and Ultra Access shaping for excellent upper-fret reach. The Ultra Thin “C” profile measures approximately 19mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth, while the 12"-16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets create a smooth playing surface for rapid riffs, wide bends and technically demanding lead work.

Its electronics add considerably more flexibility than a conventional dual-humbucker PT. The Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic bridge and Alnico neck pickups provide powerful, low-noise modern tones alongside alternative voicings accessed through the push/pull controls. A Hipshot hardtail bridge, string-through-body design and Schecter locking tuners provide a stable, straightforward platform for players who want high-performance hardware without the additional setup of a floating tremolo.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter PT SLS Elite Evil Twin is aimed primarily at intermediate, advanced and professional players looking for a modern, premium guitar with an exceptionally fast neck and versatile powered electronics.

Its tight response and Fishman pickup system make it particularly well suited to modern metal, progressive metal, hard rock, technical rock and contemporary instrumental guitar, although the multiple pickup voicings make it far more versatile than its stealthy appearance might suggest.

Why Choose A High-Performance Hardtail Guitar?

A hardtail bridge offers simplicity, stability and a direct playing feel. Compared with a floating tremolo system, restringing, alternative tunings and general setup adjustments are typically much more straightforward.

The PT SLS Elite Evil Twin uses a Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body construction, paired with locking tuners and an Ernie Ball compensated nut. For rhythm players, recording guitarists and musicians who regularly change tunings, this fixed-bridge configuration can be particularly practical.

How Does It Compare?

Compared With The PT FR S SLS Elite Evil Twin

The PT SLS Elite Evil Twin uses dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers and a Hipshot fixed bridge, making it the more straightforward option for players who favour conventional bridge and neck pickups, simple tuning changes and hardtail stability.

The PT FR S SLS Elite Evil Twin instead adds a Floyd Rose locking tremolo and Sustainiac neck system, making that version more specialised for dramatic pitch effects and electronically controlled sustain.

Compared With A Traditional PT-Style Guitar

A traditional PT-style guitar generally prioritises straightforward vintage-inspired electronics and hardware. The SLS Elite Evil Twin keeps the familiar single-cut silhouette but adds a neck-through build, 24 stainless-steel frets, compound-radius ebony fingerboard and multi-voice Fishman electronics for a substantially more modern playing experience.
