Schecter PT Special Electric Guitar Black Pearl
The PT Special sits naturally in your hands with its maple neck wearing a 'C' profile and rosewood fretboard topped with 22 X-Jumbo frets. The swamp ash body paired with Schecter Diamond pickups cuts through a mix with articulate, resonant tones ideal for classic rock, blues, and vintage-voiced applications. This is a straightforward, well-specified instrument built around hands-on feel and sonic clarity for working musicians.
Playability & Comfort
The 'C'-shaped neck measures .826" at the first fret and .905" at the 12th fret—moderate thickness that locks in comfortably for both rhythm and lead work. A 25.5" scale length with 12" fretboard radius and X-Jumbo frets enable rapid position shifts and stable bends night after night, while the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Grover Vintage tuners hold their set reliably through a full set and beyond.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond VT-1 bridge pickup and Schecter Diamond V-90 neck pickup deliver defined highs and warm lows that project across the frequency spectrum on stage. A Volume/Tone control with Series-Parallel Push-Pull switch and 3-way selector unlock coil-splitting and phase options for tonal variety without menu diving, while the Vintage Ashtray bridge with staggered brass saddles contributes vintage-appropriate resonance and sustain.
