Review Demo - Schecter PT Fastback II B

Описание: Read the review: http://bit.ly/SchecterFastbackIIB

Mention Schecter to the average player, and they immediately think “metal guitars”—and with good cause: Since the turn of the century, the company’s artist roster has gotten increasingly aggro. Guys like Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, Arch Enemy’s Jeff Loomis, and Gwar’s Balsac the Jaws of Death. But the Sun Valley, California, company actually started out making classic S- and T-style replacement parts before moving on to build boutique interpretations of those classic designs in the late ’70s.

But for the last several years Schecter has also diversified its line with guitars that marry retro tones and aesthetics with modern improvements—often with unmatched aplomb. The Ultra III boasts a look and sound that’s unique despite incorporating elements reminiscent of a Firebird, Gretsch, and Teisco, and the T S/H-12 Classic puts a unique spin on Rickenbacker- and Danelectro-esque appointments. And now the PT Fastback II B takes a Telecaster Deluxe-like formula and outfits it with a bunch of extras.

At first glance, the South Korea-made Fastback might strike jaded players as more of a throwback: The shape of the single-cut body and pickguard are familiar, the Diamond SuperRock Custom Alnico pickups resemble 1970s Fender Wide Range humbuckers, and the dual-volume, dual-tone control complement is what you’d expect. Or is it? When you look closer, you see that dismissing the II B as a gussied-up copycat is both unfair and rash.
