Schecter PT Fastback Electric Guitar Olympic White
Brand New. Not available for curbside pickup. Online orders only.
Schecter’s PT Fastback is a hotrod of a 6-string, building off of the classic PT (Pete Townsend) platform with a pair of 1950s-inspired humbucking pickups. This guitar’s iconic deluxe T-style alder body sports a deep belly cut and contoured upper armrest, providing you with slick playing comfort that a slab-bodied 6-string could only dream of. Players seeking a speedy neck will be sure to love the PT Fastback’s thin maple “C” profile. Meanwhile, the maple fingerboard’s ultra-high-performance 14-inch radius and 22 extra-jumbo frets are purpose-built for multi-step bends and fretboard finesse. All that said, the feature that truly sets the PT Fastback apart from the pack is its pair of Diamond UltraTron Custom Alnico pickups — these raunchy humbuckers take their sonic cue from a legendary 1950s design and are equally favored by rockabilly revivalists and hard-rock heroes.

- Dual Schecter Diamond UltraTron Custom Alnico pickups capture the gritty vibe and raw power of a classic 1950s-style humbucking pickup
- Dual push-pull tone knobs unlock bright, chimey split-coil sounds
- Eye-catching black block inlays
Dual Diamond UltraTron Custom Alnico pickups
From rockabilly to hard rock, the Schecter PT Fastback’s Diamond UltraTron pickups harken back to a classic humbucker design more traditionally found on hollowbody guitars. Biting highs, gritty mids, and a thumping bass bounce — Diamond UltraTron Custom Alnico pickups provide a more defined and slightly more midrange-focused drawl than your typical humbucking pickup, offering ample articulation when you start cranking up the gain. Moreover, the Schecter PT Fastback comes equipped with two push-pull tone pots to gain instant access to sparkling split-coil sounds.
Sustain-enhancing Diamond Hardtail string-through bridge
Boasting pitch-perfect intonation adjustment and rock-solid reliability, the Schecter PT Fastback’s Diamond Hardtail bridge is ideal for players who value stability. While much of the PT Fastback takes inspiration from the classic T-style guitars of the past, this bridge’s 6-saddle design is superior when it comes to per-string intonation adjustment. Moreover, the Diamond Hardtail bridge bolsters exceptional string-to-body resonance, resulting in superb sustain and rich resonance.
Smooth "C"-profile maple neck
Whether you come from the new school or the old school, you're bound to love the thin "C"-profile maple neck on the PT Fastback. This ultra-comfortable profile is a favorite among a wide variety of players. In the right hands, it’s ideal for both chording and lead playing. A stunning maple fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets also makes for smooth, easy playability. Meanwhile, a bolt-on neck joint means this axe will support all the sustain and snap you could ever desire.
