Schecter positioned the PT Special within its lineup as a single-pickup-format solidbody drawing on vintage Telecaster-style architecture. Built in South Korea with a swamp ash body and a bolt-on maple neck, the guitar carried a flat-top contour, creme 1-ply binding, and nickel hardware throughout.
The neck profiles a C-shape at .826" at the first fret and .905" at the twelfth, topped with a rosewood fretboard carrying 22 X-Jumbo frets at a 12" radius. Mother of Pearl dot inlays mark the positions. The 1.653" (42mm) Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut feeds into a 25.5" (648mm) scale length. Grover Vintage tuners handle tuning stability at the headstock, while the vintage ashtray bridge with staggered brass saddles anchors the strings at the body. Pickups consist of a Schecter Diamond VT-1 at the bridge and a Schecter Diamond V-90 at the neck, selected via a 3-way switch; the tone control operates as a push-pull pot switching between series and parallel wiring. Metal knurled knobs with set screws, a 2-way adjustable truss rod accepting a 5/32" (4mm) Allen key, and Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010–.046) complete the specification.
Owners sourcing replacement saddles, a compatible nut blank, or period-correct Grover-style tuner bushings should verify dimensions against the specs above; a qualified luthier or guitar technician can advise on drop-in fit and setup adjustments for this platform.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
