Since 1992, Coal Chamber guitarist Miguel “Meegs” Rascon has crafted a barrage of multifaceted riffage alongside founder/ vocalist Dez Fafara. Throughout the decades, Meegs has helmed the nu metal outfit’s broad array of heavy-hitting tones, and Schecter’s luthiers knew precisely how to build an instrument powerful and versatile enough to zero in on Meegs’ distinctive style. Brandishing a dyad of ash and maple tonewoods, a robust 27.5-inch baritone scale, and searing Schecter USA Brimstone pickups, Sweetwater’s guitarists are enamored by the suite of tone-crafting tools supplied by the Meegs PT EX. With its ultra-fast neck, carbon fiber reinforcements, and coil-splitting capabilities, the unbridled possibilities of punishing, down-tuned riffage are just waiting to be harnessed.





Note: The Schecter Meegs PT EX is a baritone-scale guitar and ships from the factory in B-standard tuning. Please, contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer with any questions.





Crafted for character without compromise





While Schecter spares no effort in tailoring guitars to meet artists’ needs, the sonic potential afforded by a baritone-scale guitar warrants distinct considerations to ensure the expanded array of tuning possibilities is powerfully voiced. An ash body forms the guitar’s aural anchor, delivering focused tones with robust fundamentals and excellent clarity throughout every register. Its maple neck and fingerboard imbue your sound with a brightness and warmth that supports detailed note separation throughout the spectrum, ensuring lows are tight without sacrificing presence, mids are punchy without dominating the mix, and highs are precise without being piercing.





Diverse degrees of tone-shaping power





The Meegs PT EX boasts a formidable foundation, and Schecter’s deployed the same thoughtfulness that underpins its baritone-minded tonewood selections with the guitar’s onboard sonic sculpting tools. Both the neck and bridge positions have been outfitted with passive Schecter USA Brimstone humbuckers, utilizing high-carbon steel and a proprietary high-mass Ceramic-Barium central magnet to ignite tones from smoldering to scorching. Its straightforward control scheme of a 3-way toggle, joined by singular volume and tone knobs, includes a push-pull coil split, ensuring the most discerning tone crafters are given ample opportunity to tailor the signature sounds of the Meegs PT EX.





Engineered for balanced, long-haul playing





Between brutal low-end riffs, infectious licks, and searing solos, every detail of the Meegs PT EX was crafted to accommodate multidimensional playability. The T-style guitar’s bolted-on neck contrasts the modern finesse of its body contours and Thin “C”-shaped neck, with 22 frets sprawling across a 14-inch fingerboard radius. What’s more, dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods maximize the neck’s dimensional stability, increasing resilience with warping or twisting while reducing weight. Strings are bookended by Schecter locking tuners and a Diamond Hardtail bridge, guided through a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut along the way, keeping your buzz-free tones cemented in place for setlists of any length and performances of any style.
