Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a bolt-on maple neck with a 25.5" scale give this left-handed PT a bright, snappy attack with firm low end and long sustain, reinforced by the vintage ashtray bridge and staggered brass saddles. The Diamond VT-1 bridge pickup delivers cutting twang and gritty bite, while the V-90 in the neck rounds things out with a thicker, warmer voice for blues phrasing and smooth leads; the push/pull series-parallel tone control shifts between clearer single-coil chime and a punchier, fuller output. It suits country, roots rock, blues and classic rock players who want a familiar single-cut voice with a bit more range on tap.
Schecter PT Special Left-Handed – Purple Burst Pearl
The Schecter PT Special LH in Purple Burst Pearl is a left-handed recording and tracking guitar that balances vintage-inspired character with modern studio versatility. Built on a resonant swamp ash body and paired with a classic bolt-on maple neck, this instrument captures articulate, detailed tones across a wide range of mix applications—from clean textures to driven rhythms and smooth lead passages.
The Diamond VT-1 and V-90 pickups deliver a dynamic frequency response ideal for home studio work and production. The push-pull tone control with series-parallel switching expands your tonal palette during tracking and layering sessions without needing to reamp. The vintage ashtray bridge with staggered brass saddles provides solid intonation and sustain for consistent takes, while Grover Vintage tuners and a Graph Tech XL Tusq nut ensure reliable tuning stability across long recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile and scale length does the PT Special LH have?
The PT Special LH features a 25.5" scale length with a C-shaped neck profile that tapers from 0.826" at the 1st fret to 0.905" at the 12th fret. The rosewood fretboard sits on a 12" radius with 22 X-Jumbo frets, designed to support both lead work and rhythm playing without fatigue.
What pickups are in this guitar, and can I shape the tone?
The PT Special LH comes equipped with a Schecter Diamond VT-1 bridge pickup and V-90 neck pickup, delivering articulate cleans, gritty blues character, and smooth sustain. A push-pull series-parallel tone control lets you switch each pickup between series and parallel modes for dynamic range and punch.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or drop-tuning styles?
The PT Special LH is optimized for blues, rock, and hard rock—not metal or djent applications. Its vintage-character pickups, single-cut design, and bridge configuration are voiced for articulate, warm tones rather than the aggression and tightness preferred in heavier genres or extreme tunings.
What hardware ensures tuning stability?
The guitar features Grover Vintage tuners, a Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut, and a vintage ashtray bridge with staggered brass saddles. These components work together to lock in tuning and optimize intonation and resonance for long sustain.
Why choose the left-handed PT Special over a right-handed model?
The PT Special LH is purpose-built for left-handed players with a mirrored body shape, left-handed neck joint, and properly positioned controls and tuners. Left-handed musicians get the same playability comfort and precision as right-handed players on standard designs, with no compromises in tone or build quality.
