Schecter PT Special Telecaster with P-90 Pickups
The Schecter PT Special captures articulate, well-defined recordings with a bright, responsive character ideal for tracking guitars in the studio. The swamp ash construction combined with maple neck and fretboard produces clear high-end definition and controlled midrange that translates accurately to mix—whether you're layering rhythm parts or cutting lead lines. Built for session work, this instrument cuts through dense arrangements and sits naturally in stereo imaging without requiring heavy processing.
Playability & Comfort
The 25.5" scale neck with C-shaped maple profile and 12" fretboard radius enables precise intonation tracking during long studio takes, while the tummy cut carve and arm contour reduce fatigue during extended recording sessions. 22 X-Jumbo frets provide comfortable real estate for bending expressions and controlled vibrato, and the Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut ensures reliable sustain and consistent string response across punch-in sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Paired Schecter Diamond pickups—a V-90 neck unit and VT-1 bridge unit—deliver articulate P-90 character with dimensional top-end clarity and controlled midrange punch that records with exceptional clarity. The series-parallel push-pull volume control expands tonal range from thick and woody to cutting and defined, allowing quick tone shaping between takes, while the 3-way switch provides essential voicing flexibility for adapting to different song contexts without complexity.
