T-style Swagger Tailor-made for Nick Johnston

Top-quality tonewoods, fine-tuned electronics, and a decidedly vintage soul solidify Schecter's Nick Johnston Signature PT electric guitar as a fantastic workhorse for classic rockers who demand versatility that more than handles the virtuosic playing of its namesake. Its alder body and maple neck will feel familiar to T-style players everywhere, delivering the chunky mids and prominent lows that helped skyrocket this tonewood in popularity over the years. Its vintage "C"-shaped roasted hard rock maple neck is capped with silky ebony for effortless fretting from head to heel. Sweetwater players especially love the PT's Schecter-designed pickups, with a single-coil in the bridge for some welcome twang and a humbucker in the neck for thick, full-bodied tones in complete clarity. This 6-string's locking tuners and Diamond PT-S bridge make string changes a breeze while keeping everything perfectly in tune, a crucial factor when needing a reliable instrument when out on the road. Prepare to dive into the "Atomic Mind" of Nick Johnston with his Schecter Signature PT!

Tried-and-true tonewood combination provides premium sound and feel

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.

Schecter pickups deliver plenty of spank and sparkle

With a Schecter Nick Johnston single-coil pickup in the bridge and a Diamond '78 in the neck, this impressive PT dishes out Nick's trademark sound in waves with enough versatility to carve your own sonic path. Nick's signature single-coil conjures much of the twang and bite of a vintage original with an extra dose of hard-rocking tone for modern playing purposes. Flip to the Diamond '78 in the bridge, and you'll instantly tap into this humbucker's full-bodied clarity and powerful voice. Whatever style you're playing or sound you seek, the Nick Johnston PT's Schecter pickups will oblige.
