This Schecter PT-8 MS Black Ops is a beast for modern metal and progressive players who want extended range and precise articulation.

It's a premium-priced instrument that feels incredibly well-built and offers a surprisingly versatile tonal palette thanks to those Fishman pickups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bending feels more consistent across all strings, especially the lower ones, as tension is optimized; it might take a little getting used to if you're not familiar with multiscale.
Yes, they are standard humbucker size and can be replaced, but the open core design might limit your pickup choices to similar voiced models.
While it's heavier than many guitars, the thin C neck profile and ergonomic body shape help mitigate the weight somewhat, but a strap is definitely essential for longer playing sessions.
