Schecter USA Custom Shop PT Wembley Studio Guitar Shell Pink
Description
Schecter USA Custom Shop PT Wembley Studio Guitar Shell Pink
The PT Wembley Studio sits perfectly in the hands with a slim yet substantial neck profile and custom 'C' shape that flows between lead lines and rhythm work without compromise. Roasted maple neck and rosewood fretboard deliver immediate tactile response under the fingers, while the 25.5" scale length locks in clear articulation and balanced string tension for both studio tracking and live performance. The aged nitro Shell Pink finish paired with aged nickel hardware creates a striking vintage aesthetic that's built to withstand the rigors of gigging and recording.
Playability & Feel
Neck dimensions of .825" at the first fret and .865" at the twelfth fret provide a comfortable, secure grip without feeling thin or compromised. A 12" fretboard radius combined with 22 Jescar Premium German Stainless Steel Frets make bending smooth and chord transitions effortless across the board, while Gotoh Vintage Locking tuners and a Graphtech Black Tusq nut lock in tuning stability set-list after set-list and preserve tone transfer from nut to body.
Tone & Electronics
Three pickups—Schecter USA Pasadena VT-1 (bridge), Route '57 (neck), and Pasadena VS-1 (middle)—deliver vintage warmth, classic PAF-like richness, and bright bell-like clarity respectively, giving you the tonal palette to cut through a mix or sit wide open in the mix. The PT Vintage bridge with Gotoh In-Tune Compensated Saddles keeps intonation tight across the neck, while intuitive master volume (with pull-to-expand) and master tone (with pull-to-split) controls on a 5-way blade switch let you dial in everything from bluesy warmth to cutting brightness on the fly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the neck feel like, and will it work for both lead and rhythm?
The custom 'C' shape measures 0.825" at the first fret and 0.865" at the twelfth fret, offering a comfortable grip that accommodates both lead lines and full chord voicings without feeling too thick or thin. The 12" fretboard radius and 22 Jescar Premium German Stainless Steel Frets enable smooth bending and effortless chord transitions across all playing styles.
How do the three pickups compare, and can I switch between them easily?
The Pasadena VT-1 (bridge) delivers vintage warmth, the Route '57 (neck) provides classic PAF-like richness, and the Pasadena VS-1 (middle) offers bright bell-like clarity. The 5-way blade switch gives you all five standard positions, and the pull-to-split master tone control expands your tonal palette further without complex wiring.
Does this guitar stay in tune well, especially during longer sessions or performances?
Yes—Gotoh Vintage Locking tuners, a Graphtech Black Tusq nut, and a PT Vintage bridge with Gotoh In-Tune Compensated Saddles work together to ensure rock-solid tuning stability throughout sessions or gigs. The 25.5" scale length maintains balanced string tension for consistent intonation.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The PT Wembley excels in blues, rock, and jazz, where its vintage warmth, articulate tone, and balanced sustain shine; it is less suited for metal or djent styles that typically demand higher output or thinner body resonance.
What's included and what are the body and hardware specifications?
The guitar features an alder body with bolt-on construction for resonant tone, aged nitro Shell Pink finish with aged nickel hardware, a roasted maple neck, rosewood fretboard with vintage dot inlays, a 1.67" nut width, and weighs 7.89 lbs.
