A Top-shelf Axe for Serious Musicians

The Schecter PT SLS Elite is top-shelf all the way. Its jaw-dropping flamed maple-capped swamp ash body yields a balanced blend of brightness and warmth, combined with mids that "pop." Beyond that, the PT SLS Elite is a conduit for the most sought-after humbucker tones, thanks to its Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups. Experience enhanced sustain and playability, courtesy of a Neck-Thru design with Ultra Access and a smooth ebony fingerboard. The PT SLS Elite's Ernie Ball compensated nut and Hipshot hardtail bridge exhibit spot-on intonation. Complete with an eye-grabbing fading finish and attractive black hardware, the PT SLS Elite oozes quality.

Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments

When you pick up a PT SLS Elite, you'll be amazed by all of the details and finishing touches that make this a truly remarkable instrument. Its beautiful flamed maple top appears to leap off the surface, and the intricate inlays in its smooth ebony fretboard add a special touch of class. What's more, these details aren't just cosmetic. The PT SLS Elite features a Neck-Thru design, which gives you easy access to those higher, hard-to-reach frets.

Fishman Fluence Modern pickups give you endless tonal options

Thanks to the PT SLS Elite's Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, you'll be able to harness the most sought-after humbucker tones. These pickups provide you with your choice of two unique, selectable voices. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl supplied by the Fluence's modern active pickup voice. Or if you're feeling a bit gnarly, these pickups' high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. The guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the PT SLS Elite.

Hipshot bridge with string-thru-body design provides amazing stability

If you love the stability and ultra-fast response of a hardtail bridge, then you'll feel right at home with this PT SLS Elite. Schecter didn't just grab any old bridge — they chose a Hipshot hardtail bridge for solid intonation and great sustain. Combined with its string-thru-body design, this setup gives the PT SLS Elite truly epic sustain.

Schecter PT SLS Elite Features:

  • Musical-sounding swamp ash body is capped with jaw-dropping flamed maple
  • Super-stable maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods
  • Neck-Thru with Ultra Access and smooth ebony fingerboard provide enhanced sustain and playability
  • Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups give you endless variety of sonic textures
  • Ernie Ball compensated nut and Hipshot hardtail bridge deliver incredibly precise intonation
  • Eye-grabbing fading finish and black hardware

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
