Schecter Pt Special 3 Tone Sunburst Pearl

A PT Special at the Heart of Schecter's Retro Collection

With its Retro Collection, Schecter revisits the aesthetic and sonic codes that marked rock history: vintage-style finishes, vintage-typical hardware, and familiar sensations under the fingers. The PT Special follows this "back to basics" logic while retaining what makes the brand's reputation: meticulous craftsmanship, a comfortable neck, and electronics designed to be truly usable both in rehearsal and on stage.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

The Schecter PT Special is aimed at advanced beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an electric guitar with a strong style, as well as more experienced musicians seeking a "plug and play" guitar for vintage genres. It excels in rock'n'roll, blues, garage, indie, and classic rock, with enough response to push towards heavier sounds when cranking the amp or a drive pedal.

The Sound

Its swamp ash body delivers a bright attack, good definition, and a present high end, ideal for crisp rhythms and articulated lines. The maple neck enhances precision and immediate response feel, while the rosewood fingerboard balances everything with a warmer grain.

On the electronics side, the combination of Schecter Diamond V-90 and Schecter Diamond VT-1 offers true complementarity: a pickup with a more "vintage and lively" character for open and expressive tones, and a denser pickup for riffs, solos, and overdrive. The Volume/Tone control with push-pull (series/parallel) allows fine-tuning of output level and texture: tighter and more powerful in series, clearer and more open in parallel, perfect for switching from a clean verse to a catchier chorus.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel, you can opt for a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings (factory-installed). A case or gig bag is available as an option: SGR-UNIVERSAL GUITAR (sold separately).
