If you're spying a modern-flavored electric guitar with undeniable style and snarling tone, then you must plug a Schecter PT SLS Elite into your favorite amplifier. Built from a solid slab of swamp ash and topped off with an arched flame maple top, this T-style axe simply bleeds harmonic resonance, while a set of Fishman Fluence humbuckers serve up cutting, punchy tones by the truckload. The easy playability of the PT Special’s satin-finished, Maple/Walnut/Padauk Multi-ply neck and top-shelf hardware, including Schecter Locking tuners, put the finishing touches on the PT SLS Elite.
The PT is one of Schecter's most identifiable models. Since its beginning in the hands of Pete Townshend, the PT has been a dyed-in-the-wool rocker while tipping its hat to a retro platform. The PT's swamp ash body yields a balanced, musical blend of brightness, warmth, and harmonic-soaked midrange.
Original and totally re-imagined, Fishman Fluence pickups are free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups — revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone.
This Schecter PT SLS Elite's neck is expertly carved from a piece of rock-hard maple. Rosewood caps the neck with a 12-inch radius. Its "Ultra Thin C" neck profile is an exquisite balance of hand-filling comfort and fleet-fingered playability. Add a fingerboard outfitted with extremely durable extra-jumbo frets and a TUSQ nut that ensures your strings never bind, and the PT SLS Elite plays as beautifully as it looks.
