Schecter PT Special Telecaster with P-90 Pickups
The Schecter PT Special delivers a refined single-cut experience with ergonomic body contours that sit naturally against your torso on stage. The swamp ash construction combined with maple neck and fretboard produces a bright, articulate response that cuts through a mix and holds up under the demands of gigging. This is a working musician's guitar—built for live performance, reliable night-after-night touring, and the dependability you need when your reputation is on the line.
Playability & Comfort
The 25.5" scale neck with C-shaped maple profile and 12" fretboard radius provides the familiar Fender-style ergonomics that keep fatigue at bay during long sets, while the tummy cut carve and arm contour lock the guitar in place no matter how you move across the stage. 22 X-Jumbo frets give you substantial real estate for bending and intonation work in a live context, and the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut ensures your tuning stays put through demanding performances and temperature swings.
Tone & Live Performance
Paired Schecter Diamond pickups—a V-90 neck unit and VT-1 bridge unit—deliver articulate P-90 character with the dimensional top-end clarity that projects from stage and cuts through a live band mix. The series-parallel push-pull volume control expands your tonal range from thick and woody rhythms to cutting and defined lead tones, while the 3-way switch provides essential voicing flexibility without adding complexity you don't need mid-performance.
