Revolutionary Fishman Fluence Pickup

Powering the Schecter PT-8 MS Black Ops is a single Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern bridge pickup. This groundbreaking technology unlocks a new level of clarity, dynamic response and tonal range. A simple flip of the 3-way voicing switch lets you seamlessly transition between distinct sounds, including modern active and passive pickup modes, as well as a single-coil setting. Go from scorching active ceramic humbucking to organic passive growl, or experience the brightness and clarity of a single-coil pickup—the Fluence Open Core Modern does it all.

Unparalleled Playing Feel

The Schecter PT-8 MS Black Ops boasts incredible playability, stemming from its meticulously crafted 3-piece mahogany neck and 25.5"–27" scale length. Its thin C-shape profile feels sleek and nimble in your hand, perfect for effortless position shifts and wide bends. An ebony fingerboard offers enhanced clarity and note separation, while the ultraflat 20" radius and extra-jumbo stainless steel frets invite expressive bending without fretting out. Two carbon fiber reinforcement rods running the length of the neck increase sustain and stability.
