Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body with koa top and bolt-on quartersawn maple neck give this PT a snappy, resonant foundation with firm lows and clear upper-mid punch, while the hardtail PT-H bridge adds sustain and tuning stability that keeps chords tight and defined. The Schecter Super Rock Vintage humbuckers in H/H trade single-coil spike for a warmer, thicker voice that stays articulate when clean and compresses smoothly into overdrive. With a maple fingerboard, 14" radius and tall 6100-equivalent frets, it suits blues and classic rock bending, country-leaning hybrid picking, and heavier riff and lead work that still needs note separation.
Schecter PT Koa Top Vintage Burst USA Custom Shop Electric Guitar Open Box
This Schecter PT Custom Shop handcrafted in Sun Valley, California delivers a recording-ready instrument built for studio versatility and session consistency. The exotic koa top in Vintage Burst finish brings visual character to any tracking setup, while the carefully profiled neck enables efficient tracking work and precise performance across all registers. The dual-humbucker configuration and hardtail bridge provide the tonal stability and sustain needed for punchy, focused recordings across multiple genres.
Build & Hardware
Swamp ash body with koa top sits on a quartersawn hard rock maple neck joined via contoured four-bolt attachment for reliable sustain and resonance in the recording chain. The Schecter Hardtail PT-H bridge and Schecter USA tuners maintain absolute tuning stability between takes and across long sessions, while black hardware complements the dark vintage aesthetic throughout.
Playability & Electronics
The Schecter Custom C-shape neck profile measures .80" at the first fret and .83" at the 12th fret, offering a balanced grip that accommodates varied playing techniques and studio stamina during overdub sessions. A 14" fingerboard radius with 22 Jascar German Premium Silver frets (6100 equivalent) provides clean articulation and reliable intonation through take after take, while the Schecter Super Rock Vintage pickup set in H/H configuration captures articulate cleans, textured mids, and saturated gain tones with natural harmonic detail suited to professional mixing.

The Schecter Super Rock Vintage set in H/H (humbucker/humbucker) configuration handles everything from clean articulation to saturated overdrive tones with warm vintage character and balanced sustain. This makes it versatile for rock, blues, and hard rock styles.
How does the hardware and bridge support tuning stability?
The Schecter Hardtail PT-H bridge combined with Schecter USA tuners and black hardware provide rock-solid tuning stability and intonation. The swamp ash body with koa top joined via contoured four-bolt neck attachment ensures solid sustain and resonance.
What genres and playing situations is this guitar best suited for?
This guitar excels in hard rock, rock, blues, studio sessions, and gigging environments. Its tonal range and reliable hardware make it less ideal for funk and jazz applications.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
