Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic tone meets modern clarity
The Schecter USA PT SS delivers an unmistakably vintage voice with the clarity and balance. At the heart of its tone are the USA-wound Monstertone PT SS single-coil pickups. These high-output yet harmonically rich pickups deliver the kind of snap and sparkle you want from a classic single-coil configuration, only with an extra layer of dynamic range and articulation. From clean chord voicings to biting lead lines, these pickups respond with character and nuance. This setup makes for a guitar that sounds full, focused, and incredibly responsive to your playing.
Neck comfort designed for real-world play
One of the standout features of the Schecter USA PT SS is its neck. Crafted from eastern hard rock maple and topped with a rosewood fretboard, it’s shaped into a custom ‘C’ profile that offers a comfortable and familiar feel. Measuring 0.825 inches at the first fret and 0.865 inches at the twelfth, the neck remains consistently sleek all the way up, making fast runs, intricate bends, and complex chord shapes feel effortless. The 14-inch fretboard radius strikes a perfect middle ground between vintage and modern, supporting fluid lead work without sacrificing comfortable chord playing. Adding to the premium experience are the Jescar 6100-equivalent frets made from German silver, which provide excellent durability and a smooth playing surface. This neck is made to work hard, stay comfortable, and invite you to keep playing for hours on end.
Rock-solid tuning stability and durability
Hardware and tuning reliability are critical for performance, and the Schecter USA PT SS is built with this in mind. Featuring Schecter Hipshot Grip-Lock staggered locking tuners, this guitar ensures stable and precise tuning even during aggressive stage work. These locking machines make string changes quick and efficient while eliminating the slipping that can plague traditional tuners. The Gotoh GTC 202 bridge further supports tuning stability with rock-solid intonation and sustain, thanks to its high-quality construction and precision-fit saddles. A Graphtech nut and two-way adjustable truss rod with carbon fibre reinforcement complete the robust build, giving you peace of mind that this guitar can handle life on stage, in the studio, or on the road without compromise.
Timeless looks with attention to detail
Visually, the Schecter USA PT SS exudes vintage class with refined attention to detail. Finished in Dakota Red, it features a vintage satin neck with a matching headstock and the striking Wembley logo, offering a nod to its American roots. Cream binding adds a touch of elegance, complementing the solid colour body and enhancing the overall retro aesthetic. A one-ply parchment pickguard keeps the look understated but classic, providing contrast that highlights the guitar’s curves and craftsmanship. From the 6-in-line headstock to the chrome hardware, every element has been considered to present a guitar that doesn’t just sound phenomenal but also looks the part. It’s a tasteful instrument that stands out with subtle, stylish design grounded in tradition.
