A Modern Take on the T-style Guitar
There's a lot to like about the Schecter USA PT Vintage. It's got great looks, standout tone, and piece-of-cake playability that players love. Made with a slab of swamp ash and a maple neck, the PT Vintage couldn't get any more classic. It has a supremely playable Custom "C" neck and uses custom-wound pickups to create tones that range from spanky cleans to a powerful roar when you apply a bit of gain. This axe isn't completely stuck in the past though, you'll enjoy creature comforts such as Hipshot Staggered Locking tuners and a Tusq nut. The Schecter USA PT Vintage is more than a vintage reissue though, it's a ready-made rock 'n roll machine.
Vintage-inspired PT construction
The PT Vintage is well-loved at Sweetwater for its classic styling and comfortable body shape. One of Schecter's most identifiable models, it rose to prominence in the hands of Pete Townshend. Ever since, this guitar has been a dyed-in-the-wool rocker that's been seen in the hands of musicians from around the world. If you're ready to steal the show with the help of a single axe, the Schecter PT is the way to go.
Twangy Pasadena VT pickups
The PT Vintage is loaded with a pair of Pasadena VT pickups. This pickup set includes a sleek covered pickup in the neck position and a rip-roaring uncovered pickup in the bridge. Made with excellent ingredients like fiberboard bobbins, copper-plated steel baseplates, and cloth-covered wire, these pickups create a classic single-coil spank that's perfect for a wide range of music. The hand-beveled Alnico V pole pieces of the bridge pickup are in a flat configuration to give you all the vintage twangy goodness you can handle. In fact, the bridge pickup has so much twang that it threatens to peel the paint off the walls. When you play the PT vintage for the first time you'll understand what we mean.
Custom "C" neck profile enables unmatched playability
The neck of this axe is made from hard rock maple. This species is known for its stiffness and strength. What does that mean for the player? The neck is ultra-stable and transfers the vibration of the strings more effectively through the body. The maple fingerboard has a 14" radius and is equipped with heavy-duty Jascar 6100 fretwire. You'll be able to perform huge bends without choking out. The satin-finished Custom "C" neck profile keeps just enough wood in your hands to feel comfortable without getting in your way.
