Schecter PT Special Electric Guitar - Aqua Burst Pearl
T-style Guitar with Snarling Vintage Tone
Simply put, the Schecter PT Special is a vintage-flavored electric guitar with undeniable style and snarling tone. Built from a solid slab of swamp ash, this T-style axe simply bleeds harmonic resonance, while a custom set of Diamond pickups serve up classic, muscular-sounding tones by the truckload. You also get a push-pull that toggles between series and parallel pickup wiring, providing access to a multitude of mind-bending tones. The easy playability of the satin-finished, rosewood-capped maple neck and top-shelf hardware — including Grover Vintage tuners — put the finishing touches on the PT Special.
Stunning PT-style construction
The PT is one of Schecter's most identifiable models. Since its beginning in the hands of Pete Townshend, the PT has been a dyed-in-the-wool rocker while tipping its hat to a vintage platform. The PT Special's swamp ash body yields a balanced, musical blend of brightness, warmth, and harmonic-soaked midrange. The guitarists here at
Two custom pickups, tons of amazing tones
Schecter didn't just give their PT Special any old set of pickups, they outfitted it with a pair of their innovative Diamond pickups. The Diamond VT-1 bridge single-coil yields a vintage-tinged blend of clarity, twang, and muscle. The Diamond V-90 neck pickup exhibits a P-90-style tone that's chock-full of snarling treble and meaty midrange. There's also a push-pull built into the PT Special's tone knob that enables you to toggle between series and parallel pickup wiring.
Just-right playability
This Schecter PT Special's neck is expertly carved from a piece of rock-hard maple. Rosewood caps the neck with a 12-inch radius. Its "C" neck profile is an exquisite balance of hand-filling comfort and fleet-fingered playability. A fingerboard outfitted with extremely durable extra-jumbo frets and a TUSQ nut that ensures your strings never bind ensure the PT Special plays as beautifully as it looks.
