Schecter Signature Pete Dee PT Electric Guitar Gloss Black
Description
Schecter Signature Pete Dee PT Electric Guitar Gloss Black
The Schecter Pete Dee PT is a session-ready instrument that couples a fast, low-effort playing feel with a tonal palette suited to studio tracking and mixing. Built on a 25.5" scale with a thin 'C' neck profile and flat-top alder body, it responds predictably across a broad range of playing dynamics—essential for capturing clean takes and layered parts. The 22 medium frets on a 14" radius rosewood fretboard accommodate both aggressive and delicate touch, while the gloss black finish and white binding project the clean, professional look that photographs well and works across studio and stage settings.
Recording Playability & Setup
The neck's precise dimensions—.787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—combine speed with comfort during long recording days, reducing fatigue on extended takes. Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) lock in stable tuning between passes, critical for overdubbing and stacked parts. The 2-way adjustable truss rod enables quick setup tweaks to dial in the action and feel you need for each session.
Tone & Studio Versatility
The pickup pairing—Schecter Diamond SuperRock Custom Alnico at the bridge and Duncan Designed FG-101N at the neck—delivers articulate attack and note definition in the highs while maintaining warm, full lows that sit naturally in dense mixes. The responsive midrange character cuts through without harshness. Dual volume and tone controls with push-pull functionality plus a 3-way switch let you shape tone on the fly during takes, while the Bigsby Flat Top B50 bridge with roller TOM provides stable vibrato control and consistent sustain across multiple takes.
