Schecter PT Special Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst Pearl B Stock 1013
Description
Schecter PT Special Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst Pearl B Stock
This unplayed PT Special delivers a balanced, comfortable playing experience with its 'C'-shaped maple neck and 25.5" scale that sits naturally in hand across all positions. The swamp ash body with cream binding and striking 3-tone sunburst pearl finish presents a refined aesthetic without compromising on functional bolt-on construction. Note: There is a hairline crack in the neck pocket visible in close-up photos—a cosmetic concern that does not affect playability or structural integrity.
Recording & Session Performance
The maple neck and fretboard with black dot inlays provide a smooth, responsive playing surface that translates cleanly to tape, while the 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 12" radius support both articulate, defined tracking and expressive bending that captures nuance in overdubs. Neck dimensions of .826" at the 1st fret and .905" at the 12th fret maintain the comfortable 'C' profile throughout, enabling extended session work without fatigue, and the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures reliable tuning stability and proper string spacing—critical for maintaining consistency across multiple takes and punch-ins.
Sonic Character & Studio Versatility
The pairing of a Schecter Diamond VT-1 bridge pickup with a Schecter Diamond V-90 neck pickup covers versatile sonic ground in the mix, while the Series-Parallel push-pull tone control unlocks tonal flexibility for both vintage and contemporary voicings without requiring additional hardware swaps between sessions. The vintage ashtray bridge with staggered brass saddles and Grover vintage tuners with nickel hardware reinforce traditional resonance characteristics with proven mechanical reliability during recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect playability?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and unplayed, with only minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a hairline crack visible in the neck pocket that has zero impact on structural integrity or playability. You get a premium Schecter at a significant discount with full manufacturer warranty.
Is this guitar good for beginners, or is it advanced-only?
The PT Special works across all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. The comfortable C-shaped maple neck, proper string spacing from the Graph Tech nut, and balanced 25.5-inch scale make it approachable for learning, while the expressive X-Jumbo frets and vintage-voiced pickups reward more advanced players.
What genres does this guitar play best?
The PT Special is built for blues, rock, indie, and funk, where its warm and woody tone with articulate cleans and expressive midrange shine. It is not designed for metal or thrash metal, where higher-output or modern voicings are typically preferred.
Can I dial in different tones with the controls?
Yes. The series-parallel push-pull tone control lets you switch between series wiring for fatter, combined pickup tone and parallel wiring for brighter, more articulate voicing, giving you both vintage and contemporary character from one guitar.
What pickups does it have, and how do they compare to offset guitars like a Telecaster?
The PT Special pairs a Schecter Diamond VT-1 bridge pickup with a Diamond V-90 neck pickup, delivering versatile voicing that covers vintage offset character. While it shares the offset aesthetic and warm tone family with a Telecaster, Schecter's Diamond pickups offer a more modern midrange that sits well in blues, funk, and indie rock.
