Classic PT Looks with a 27-inch-scale Twist
Descend to new drop-tuned depths with Schecter’s PT-Ex! This guitar’s long 27-inch scale length comes in at 1.5 inches longer than your typical Schecter PT, allowing for chug-ready low tunings with optimal string tension. It’s the perfect setup for the PT-Ex’s high-output duo of USA-made humbuckers, including a Pasadena Plus in the bridge and a neck-position Super Rock Vintage — a combo that effortlessly covers everything from ultra-aggressive riffage to old-school rock tones to sparkling cleans. Picky about your playability? The PT-Ex’s carbon-fiber-reinforced hard rock maple neck, 14-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets deliver the peak of performance. Lastly, the Schecter Diamond PT/H string-through bridge maximizes every bit of sustain and resonance of this guitar’s lightweight nyatoh body.
The pinnacle of PT playability
From top to bottom, the Schecter PT-Ex’s neck is built from the ground up for peak 6-string performance. It all starts off with an ultra-stable hard rock maple neck, bolstered by 2 carbon fiber rods to ensure maximum structural stability. The elegance of the ebony fingerboard is paired with an exceptionally performance-minded configuration of 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets in an easy-playing 14-inch radius — a combo that’s sure to inspire your most fleet-fingered fretwork yet. Finally, the PT-Ex's neck is carved into a thin “C” profile to facilitate maximum speed when gliding up and down the ’board.
27-inch scale ensures optimal drop-tuned tension
While many of Schecter’s PT guitars clock in at a respectable 25.5 inches — the standard for T-style guitars — the Schecter PT-Ex boasts a slightly longer 27-inch scale length. Sweetwater's metal masters find that this makes the PT-Ex a particularly prudent choice for players who regularly play in drop tunings. Why? The extra 1.5 inches goes a long way in eradicating the overly floppy feel that's so common when lowering a standard-scale guitar to super-deep metal tunings.
Stunning PT-style construction
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 vintage platform. The nyatoh body provides you with a remarkably balanced tone, with a sonic voice that’s very similar to mahogany. You also get a hardtail Schecter Diamond PT/H string-through bridge that facilitates optimal string-to-body contact, resulting in superb sustain and a positively lively resonance.
