Sound & Tone
The alder body and 25.5" scale give this Schecter a bright, snappy attack with tight lows and clear note separation, while the Schecter Diamond SuperRock Custom Alnico bridge pickup adds cutting highs and punchy midrange for driving rhythm work and lead lines. The Duncan Designed FG-101N at the neck rounds things out with warmer, fuller tones, and the push-pull volume and tone controls paired with the 3-way switch open up further voicing options between the two. The Bigsby B50 with roller TOM bridge brings smooth vibrato and sustain, making it well suited to rock, punk, rockabilly and classic-leaning styles that call for both bite and expressive pitch movement.
Schecter Signature Pete Dee PT Electric Guitar Gloss Black
The Schecter Pete Dee PT is built for players who demand speed and comfort without compromise. Its thin 'C' neck profile and flat-top alder body contour create an instrument that sits naturally in your hands during long sets and studio sessions. With a 25.5" scale and 22 medium frets on a 14" radius rosewood fretboard, this right-handed guitar responds to everything from hard-hitting riffs to delicate fingerstyle work across any genre. The gloss black finish with white binding delivers a stage-ready aesthetic backed by dependable Schecter construction.
Playability & Feel
The neck measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—a profile that lets you lock in hours of playing without fatigue. Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) keep your tuning rock-solid through every gig, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod makes quick setup tweaks easy when you need them.
Tone & Electronics
The pickup pairing—Schecter Diamond SuperRock Custom Alnico at the bridge and Duncan Designed FG-101N at the neck—punches out articulate highs, warm full lows, and responsive mids that cut through a live mix. Dual volume and tone controls with push-pull functionality plus a 3-way switch let you dial in exactly the tone you need, while the Bigsby Flat Top B50 bridge with roller TOM provides smooth, stable vibrato and excellent sustain for every performance.
