Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for metal or high-gain styles?
No, the PT Special is voiced for blues, rock, funk, and classic tones—the sparkling cleans and gritty blues character work best in those genres. Metal and djent styles demand pickups and electronics optimized for high gain and clarity that this model is not designed for.
What pickups does it come with and can they be swapped?
The bridge and neck pickups are Schecter Diamond VT-1 and V-90 models respectively, covering a versatile tonal range from clean to crunch. Yes, they can be swapped if you want to explore other options down the road.
What does the series-parallel push-pull control do?
The push-pull tone control lets you switch between standard parallel wiring and series wiring, giving you a punchy, tighter tone option for added flexibility and tonal expansion without buying new gear.
What is the neck profile and fret size?
The neck is a comfortable C-shape with a 25.5-inch scale, 22 x-jumbo frets, and a 12-inch fretboard radius. The nut width is 1.653 inches, with thickness ranging from 0.826 inches at the first fret to 0.905 inches at the 12th fret.
Does it come with a case?
No case is included with the guitar, but an optional Schecter SGR-Universal Hardcase is available for separate purchase if you need road-ready protection.
