Prepare to dive into the "Atomic Mind" of Nick Johnston with his Schecter Signature PT!
To meet the needs of one of today's progressive rock archetypes, Schecter and Nick Johnston decided on the classic combination of alder, maple, and ebony in constructing the PT. Choosing alder for the body ensures a punchy, full sound with good sustain, the perfect platform for the PT's high-powered electronics. Move up to the neck, and you'll be met with fast-playing roasted hard rock maple, smooth to the touch and shaped to a flawless vintage "C" for comfortable fretting in all positions. The PT's smooth-as-glass ebony fingerboard offers fantastic intonation and response, letting you fly up and down the neck's 22 jumbo frets with ease. Throw in brass circle fingerboard inlays for a welcome visual pop, and the Schecter PT is the high-performance machine T-style purists demand.
