Been playing the PT Fastback IIB for several months now. It is, without a doubt the most versatile guitar I’ve ever owned. The bridge humbucker pickup tone sounds so sweet that I sometimes have to force myself to experiment with the other tones and settings. The look and feel is very satisfying as well. Very substantial instrument for the money and a joy to hang on the wall even. Bigsby stays right in tune and the string life is excellent. Thanks zZounds for hooking me up with this beauty. Would buy again 10x over.

This guitar is pretty amazing. I was looking for a Tele style guitar without the twang (heresy, I know!) and since nobody in my area stocks schecters took a leap of faith on this one. I was on the fence between this one and some fenders and a squire, but in the end the aesthetics of this one got the best of me (I'm a sucker for a matching headstock) Kudos to Zzounds, I received the guitar literally the day after ordering it with free shipping (I live in PA, the warehouse is in the next State over) -solid packaging, no damage. Looks wise the thing is stunning, with a flawless paint job. I was hoping it wouldn't be too sparkly and flashy, and was relieved that the metallic paint job is very subtle (I bought the Emerald option) Binding is snazzy too. The set up was really good, I didn't have to touch the truss rod or the bridge. A quick tune and I was getting perfect intonation and great harmonics. Fretboard plays well and fretwork is good. Electronics don't crackle at all. The thing is heavier than I expected, but not too heavy- I'm just used to lighter woods than Alder. It feels solid. The pickups are definitely most suited to high gain rock and dirty blues- lots of sustain, lots of power. The ability to coil tap is pretty cool but if you are looking for more clarity a pickup swap would easily do the trick. I'm addicted to P90s so I might eventually swap the neck out. Don't get me wrong, the stock pickups are quality- I'm just looking for a little more clarity. I was sceptical of the Bigsby because I really didn't want to deal with tuning issues. I think they look cool but I HATE guitars that don't stay in tune. The description and demo vids weren't lying though, between the Grover tuners and the roller tuneomatic it holds tune really, really well. I'm really happy with this purchase, I'm a new believer in both Zzounds and Schecter.

If you are looking for a guitar and lightweight gig bag combo this is t! Tones from the 2B are very impressive. It is not a lightweight guitar but the protection and lightness of the bag make it bearable to transport. I am in my 60's and have some movement issues now but I have no problems sitting and picking with it on my knee. You may want to have a professional setup done but my emerald green one was set up perfectly right out of the box. The pictures of this guitar online do not do it justice. This is a seriously impressive looking guitar! Also for the money you will be hard pressed to find a gig bag with this much padding and artwork. Space is somewhat limited for accessory carrying but for me I just needed to make sure my guitar was well protected. A more accomplished guitar mod person may want to upgrade to a nicer set of pickups but for my tastes in tone the pickups in the guitar are fairly good. The push, pull humbucker to single coil option is great too. If you decide on either the red one or the green one you will be pleasantly surprised when you open the box!

Great guitar, especially considering the price. Solid built, great aesthetics, a lot of tones that sound great. Really impressed with the coil taps. When tapped and playing through a blackface fender, it has a great clean tone. Give it a little gain and you have excellent 70s rock tone. Plug it into a marshall and kick in the humbuckers, you have a solid rock tone. Overall, very happy with it. Even stays in tune when using the bigsby.

Received guitar great packaging. Beautiful color red. Was setup. Split coils work great...produce a great quack. Completely satisfied with one major regret...the main bridge fails to provide a mechanical means to raise or lower strings independently. The bridge provides only means to adjust each side. This seriously compromises attempts at action adjustment. This is a premium guitar with that one exception. Seems completely out of character but that's the way I received it.

Very nice looking guitar. Long neck feels great. Non glossy so so it’s super fast to lay. This is my first time playing a 25.5” neck and it feels great..loads of room for my big clumsy fingers. Sounds pretty decent. The hum buckers don’t have a ton of clarity tho. After 4 weeks i’ve discovered if you pull the tone knob up it turns into a single coil. Neat! Definitely sound more clearer. The there is a noticeable volume drop when engaged. BIgsby works great. Stays in tune pretty decent if i don’t go too nuts.I do love this guitar but the honeymoon is definitely over. This one wasn’t put together that great. One of the tuning pegs became slightly loose after a few only days. Tone control has fell off while i was playing and I’ve had the high E string stick to the underside of the fret. On closer inspection the fret wasn’t flush with the neck. It needs a setup anyway so my Tech guy should be able to sort all that out but it is kinda annoying. It’s also fairly heavy. I played an SG today and forgot how light they are. The Fastback is closer to a Les in weight…

I was pleased with the guitar. And was so eager for this guitar to come in. But when it got here as first opened. It had a couple of scratches and also was really dusty(probably because it has been stored for a long time) . But as for the guitar hardware everything worked which was good. Great guitar overall

I bought this guitar in good faith,..there were not many videos about it online but it had good reviews from all online sellers as well as users, so I purchased the guitar in Emerald Green on a tuesday night and it was ready for pickup that friday. I got the guitar home and was impressed with how well the guitar was packaged,..I believe there we're 3 boxes?,..the guitar being in the third box inside two other boxex lol,...I pull the guitar out o the box and a little black round thing falls out of the package,...I dont know what this is and the guitar looked amazing,...it was in brand new condition and set up right out of the box,..I told my father what fell out of the package and we discovered it was the cover to the toggle switch on the guitar,...I realized what that piece was,...idk how or when this happened from schecter to zZounds factory to my pickup location but the switch selecter was broken clean off,...all that was left of the switch was a sharp little metal piece,..thankfully the switch still worked,..my father also discovered that the bridge volume knob was crooked which can be adjusted or re placed easily,..so I call zzounds and let them know my issues and they offer a return for a new guitar,...I decided to just get the switch replaced,..an american made high quality guitar switch is only about 16 dollars and Ik a great guitar technician who has offered to install the switch for only 25$,this guitar plays and sounds amazing,..I do not in any way shape or form think zZounds was responsible for the 3 way switch,...little things like that can go unnoticed due to how small the switch is anyways,...I love being able to pay for whatever instrument I want from this site and that is why insted of returning my guitar im just going to have the volume knob adjusted and the switch replaced,...im sure 99 percent of guitars from zZounds ships are in perfect condition and the switch is something I probably would have replaced one day anyways,...for 150$ a month you cant go wrong,...I love this guitar and I love this sight,..I cant wait to buy more guitars from here!

Guitar looked good in pictures however when I got it the intonation was off, would not stay in tune, scratches on pick guard (no plastic covering), and fretboard was discolored from first to 4th fret. It actually looks like either someone else bought it and returned or this should have been sold as a blem. If zZounds had offered to knock off the 100.00 or so it would have taken to get the guitar properly set up I may have kept it. I returned it however my refund was credited to another item I had purchased.

The guitar is awesome the only thing is the running goes out of running to often i recommend changing the tuner for lock tunners. but beside that awesome sound, You might have to level the pickups and probably change the,. But im not gonna do it. i might do it in a future but not now. i send her to do a set up to have her ready. but she is a killer guitar.
