Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar, Gold

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter PT Fastback in Gold blends vintage-inspired single-cut styling with the modern playability and versatile electronics expected from Schecter. Its mahogany body, bolt-on maple neck and smooth ebony fingerboard create a substantial yet responsive platform, while the striking Gold finish, contrasting binding and chrome hardware give it a distinctive retro character.

Twin Schecter Diamond UltraTron humbuckers provide everything from articulate clean sounds and chiming rhythm tones through to thick overdrive and powerful rock sounds. Independent volume and tone controls, push-pull functionality and a three-way pickup selector add further flexibility, making the PT Fastback an excellent choice for players who want classic looks without being restricted to vintage-style tones.

What Makes the Schecter PT Fastback Special?

The PT Fastback offers a different flavour from Schecter's more aggressively styled instruments. Its classic single-cut body shape, Gold finish, block fingerboard inlays and chrome hardware give it a distinctive vintage-inspired appearance, but underneath is a thoroughly modern playing platform. The Thin "C" maple neck, 14" fingerboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets provide a fast and comfortable feel suited to both rhythm and lead playing.

Its pair of Schecter Diamond UltraTron pickups also helps separate the PT Fastback from a conventional vintage-style single-cut. They deliver clarity and definition when played clean while retaining enough body and output for driven amplifiers. Independent volume and tone controls for the pickups, combined with push-pull functionality, give players a broad range of sounds without complicating the traditional layout.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter PT Fastback is an excellent choice for players who appreciate traditional guitar styling but want a more contemporary specification and playing feel.

It is particularly suited to:

• Rock and classic-rock guitarists

• Blues players

• Indie and alternative musicians

• Rhythm and lead guitarists

• Players who prefer a 25.5" scale length

• Guitarists looking for something different from a conventional T-style guitar

• Players wanting humbucker power with additional tonal flexibility

• Intermediate and advanced musicians

• Gigging and recording guitarists

Why Choose A Dual-Humbucker Single-Cut Guitar?

A dual-humbucker guitar provides a strong foundation for players who need full-bodied tones, reduced electrical hum and enough output to work effectively with overdrive and distortion. The configuration is particularly popular for rock, blues and heavier styles, but a well-designed dual-humbucker instrument can cover considerably more territory.

The PT Fastback adds Schecter's modern approach to this familiar formula. Its 25.5" scale length provides a slightly firmer, more immediate string response than many shorter-scale single-cut guitars, while its individual pickup controls make it easy to set contrasting neck and bridge sounds and switch between them during a performance.
