Schecter PT Van Nuys Guitar Gloss Natural Ash
The Schecter PT Van Nuys delivers responsive recording performance with its slim Vintage "C" neck profile and lightweight ash body that captures playing nuance and dynamics with clarity. The roasted maple neck and fretboard provide a fast, smooth playing surface with enhanced durability and tonal clarity. This right-handed instrument combines vintage-inspired design with modern hardware and electronics for reliable performance across tracking sessions and overdub work.
Playability & Feel
The Vintage "C" neck shape, measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, sits comfortably in the hand without sacrificing structural integrity. The 22 jumbo frets on a 14-inch fretboard radius support both aggressive bending and smooth chord work, while the 25.5-inch scale length maintains balanced string tension and crisp articulation across the neck.
Tone & Recording Character
A matched pair of Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage™ pickups deliver warm, smooth tones in the neck position and powerful, vintage-inspired response at the bridge, selectable via a 5-way switch with dedicated volume and tone controls for real-time tonal shaping during sessions. The solid ash body and bolt-on construction produce bright, punchy tones with excellent sustain that sits well in dense mixes, while the Diamond Vintage Tremolo offers smooth, reliable vibrato action for adding dimension to tracked parts.
