A Retro-Flavored PT in the Schecter Retro Collection
With its Retro Collection, Schecter revisits the iconic shapes that have marked rock history, adding design details tailored for stage and studio. The PT Special embodies this "back to basics" spirit: a proudly vintage aesthetic and a pickup configuration designed to recapture the attack, twang, and tone that defined classic rock, while remaining flexible enough to go beyond.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
The Schecter PT Special is aimed at serious beginners to intermediate guitarists who want a comfortable guitar, easy to set up, and capable of covering multiple genres. It naturally shines in rock, blues-rock, indie, and punk, with excellent responsiveness in rhythm playing. Its push-pull split/wiring variation also makes it a good option for cover musicians who need to switch from a snappy clean sound to a thicker tone in one move.
The Sound
The swamp ash body generally provides a sharp attack, great definition, and a lively high end, perfect for snappy and articulate tones. The maple neck enhances precision and response, while the rosewood fingerboard balances the overall tone with smoother highs and pleasant mids. On the amplification side, the combination of Schecter Diamond V-90 (single coil) and Schecter Diamond VT-1 (humbucker) allows switching from a bright, biting clean to a denser, more aggressive drive. The push-pull series/parallel adds a useful palette: in parallel, the sound is often more open and defined; in series, you get a fuller, punchier signal for riffs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings. If you want to keep the same feel and balance, staying with this gauge is a safe bet. A Schecter SGR-UNIVERSAL GUITAR gig bag is recommended as a separately sold option: it's the simplest solution to protect the instrument during transport.
