Schecter PT Special - More Than Your Typical Tele!

[@pops71]

All of Schechter‘s guitars are set up in the US before they go out to the dealers. That’s why whenever I go to guitar shop at want to check out an amp I always grab a Schechter. Great company.

Might be worth a brief mention that the PT stands for Pete Townshend who played a Schecter tele style in the early 80s.

[@Prince_Sharming]

Neat! I wondered where that came from.

[@johnregan2652]

YES! FYII just heard the backstory about that in a Schector Bass video. Schecter was a parts & performance shop, not makers per se. They had a reputation for "souped-up" and "hot rodding" instruments with their superior parts etc. So...Pete Townsend had built a schecter Tele from parts and toured with it. After that, schecter started making guitars and made the PT. Townsend never was sponsored by Schector, hence the PT, not Pete Townsend models. That said, it's quite the testament that Townsend wasn't paid to play em, but did when any guitar maker would have paid big $ to get his name. 👍

Great review, Darrell! (I enjoy all of your reviews). Been a drummer for 55 years and due to spinal complications, I'm finally moving over to guitar. I've had some beautiful acoustics and electrics but had to sell them when the market tanked in '09. I've been looking for one guitar that would do most anything, an all-around work-horse for a good price, mostly to play at home and with a few friends down the road. This guitar checks all of the boxes while looking great, sounding great, and it looks very comfortable to play. Plus, if I ever dropped it or dinged it I wouldn't be freaking out like with some $2,000.00+ guitar. I really like it and thanks for the thorough and excellent review! Michael ~ Santa Barbara, Ca.

[@timwhite5562]

I have to say, I really like these. I was never really a schecter fan. there is nothing wrong with them, I've always just seen them as metal guitars and not my style. I've always been a Strat player. I've worked on countless Teles, but only actually got one for myself a couple years ago. I decided I wanted to do a "sessions"- type guitar, I haven't actually done any sessions for a decade but I wanted something I could grab to cover anything I might end up playing, and Teles are IMO designed for that. I wanted to do an H-S layout with vintage output pickups and install a preamp in it for higher output and to change up the EQ. I wasn't going to buy a Fender to do it because I wasn't planning on paying for a US model, but I really dislike the heavy polyester finish on the MIMs so I looked at other brands. First I looked at G&L but the bodies were either poplar or basswood or something like that so that was out. The ESPs also had some materials I didn't like and while even the 12" radius on the Schecter was a bit flatter that I wanted, especially with the huge frets, the ESP was close to 14" and I didn't like the chambered routing up at the neck pocket area. With the Ash body, vintage still bridge and more traditional looks I decided on this, the black one. I really thought it looked killer and actually wanted something with a more Strat type belly contour. The routing for the pickups allowed me to put in the preamp without all the routing I thought I was going to have to do, plus while this is a bit neck heavy, with the preamp and battery it balances really well. I went with a Lollar Filtertron type Humbucker for the neck *(side note: due to the fact that those type pickups are MUCH lower output than a typical Humbucker, even compared to a PAF, and it's naturally brighter voice, I personally find them to be the best Humbucker to use in the neck with a singlecoil in the bridge) and Tele Special in the bridge (a slightly lower output Texas Special). I had to do a some cutting and filing to get everything to for properly, but at the end of the day, this thing was perfect for what I wanted. I say that for the price relative to design and quality, I find these to be a much better choice than any of the Fenders in the same class.

Thanks, Darrell, like I really need another guitar! Although, Christmas is coming up and I haven't gotten myself anything yet. It does sound pretty darn good, and like you said, the neck pickups on teles aren't very inspiring. Definitely gonna check it out.

[@mttclifford]

I don't like to be a "wiring Nazi", but a series/parallel switch would do nothing with just a single pickup engaged. The pickup should just be sent to the volume and tone controls. Only when both pickups are selected should series or parallel wiring even be noticed. The same thing also applies to phase switching.

[@ranger_a6953]

Yes, agreed. The only thing that would make any difference is if the pickups are actually split coil, and the switch changes each one from parallel to series individually. I have an old SG with a split DiMarzio installed and it works like that. It has a three way selector for even more options too. Single coil, parallel HB and series HB

[@77fonebone]

Nah. He had it correct. When you are wired in parallel the signal has a much shorter distance to travel because its going from the selected pickup straight through to the pots while when in series the signal has to travel from one pickup to through the other regardless of which pickup is currently selected. It creates more resistance in series and thus changes the tone from the parallel wiring. There is a great article on it on haloguitars.

[@MattWhatsGoinOn]

You’ve got me confused. Why would the “bridge pickup in the ‘in series with the neck pickup’ setting” sound different from the “neck pickup in the ‘in series with the bridge pickup’ setting”? I thought series/parallel switching only applied when both pickups are on (3-way switch in middle position). (Hope you can follow that. Will restate if necessary.)

[@Lowtech14]

MattWhatsGoinOn Not sure but my guess is it engages series wiring, with the same resultant sound, from any toggle position. The tonal difference is greatest when done when toggle is on bridge position , and least from neck position.

[@byronofcalgary6985]

both have the same pickups in series - what's diff is which comes first the last one will prob sound clearere than the pickup acting as a preamp. Speaking of pickup output... the lower one first will provide a cleaner tone. Just like your gain + vol dials on an amp are in Series ... bridge pickups are usually higher output to compensate for weaker signal from string so close to bridge A biased set of pickups in a strat have 3 diff ohm readings.

Oh man!! I think you've found my next guitar, sir. Now I need to scrounge up $600 US.

[@rohanjangam511]

Hi Greg, did you manage to get it? Im torn between this, a fender player tele and a squier classic vibe 70s custom tele (humbucker in the neck) please tell me what you know

[@karlbjornsson9090]

I bought this guitar, I'm super happy, really versatile ✌️👍 I would like to buy another one and change the pu at the bridge with a little 59 😂 thanks Darrell 👏👏👏

[@jaypeterson7637]

Thanks Darrell for the informative review. I have had an interest in this model for awhile and was ecstatic when I saw you choosing this guitar as a value recommendation. Have watched your channel for months and must say you sounded fantastic playing this Schecter! Sounded inspired with terrific tonality. Maybe it's because I am partial to this guitar...wow...great playing!

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Cracking solo!

[@Baci302]

That's an incredible guitar for $599. Wow. I'd throw a Bigsby on that. Ohhhhh, and look, Schecter reversed the tone selector so that the volume nob is on top for doing swells. Very smart.

I need to stop watching guitar reviews while I'm broke

[@snackeetah2627]

Oh my... There was one guitar I loved from the first sight, and it was Yamaha Pacifica 311 with its crazy HS configuration with P90 in the neck and overall great tone. Well, now that is my favourite. Amazing guitar.

[@davidmurphy4844]

I'm with you on that. The 311 has been my gigging guitar since I bought it last year!

[@fernandogarajalde4066]

I like that idea of reversing the controls so that the PU selector is behind the pots. Took me hours to do that on my last Tele mod so this one's a timesaver.

[@gamingwithmrgvil3511]

And if it was offered with a 7 1/4 radius I'd snatch one up instantly. Until then I'm stuck with the other guys.

[@ricklewis5804]

Love the tele body style and this one has it all. I love everything about it except the pick guard and ashtray those gotta go.

I adapted my self made Tele Deluxe into something similar to this Schecter. I bought a new scratchplate routed to take a Tele bridge single coil and a humbucker in the neck. For the neck pickup I've installed a humbucker sized P90 and it's a great combination that sounds very nice. I've always had wide range humbuckers on my Deluxe since I made it, but I've found myself wanting a traditional Tele sound but because I already own 9 guitars I didn't want to, nor could I afford to, buy another guitar. Then one day I had a brainwave that I could adapt my Deluxe just by buying a new scratchplate and changing the pickup routing on it, and luckily I found a seller on ebay who did just that 😎 So now I have my original scratchplate with the wide range humbuckers on it, and also the one with my new single coil configuration and I can just swap the scratchplates over when I feel like a change. What I might do next is buy another scratchplate (or maybe 2) and get them routed to take filtertron type pickups or maybe regular humbuckers to give me even more options for my Deluxe. I'm pretty sure that when I measured the pickup cavities there wasn't enough room for regular P90s otherwise I'd be getting a scratchplate made for those as well 😆 I still can't get over what a good idea I had, and if anyone reading this owns a Tele Deluxe, you can now effectively turn it into multiple different guitars by buying new scratchplates with different routing for different pickup configurations. Tele Deluxes must be the most versatile guitars you can buy. 👍

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Ñisssssssssce!!! That's a tele I can get behind!

[@sometexanguy9054]

I really enjoy your videos. I want to mention that you should mix up playing styles to show the sound and capability. Like maybe a little blues, chicken pickin, and others. I hope you get what I mean. I do enjoy the reviews and look forward to seeing them for sure

[@zeromustafa401]

That's a wicked guitar. I really dig the finish, contours and that headstock. I like the headstock way more than I expected. I hadn't noticed right away, then when my eyes drifted over there it completely grabbed my attention.

[@zeromustafa401]

Aesthetically of course. Really nice tones coming out of it, too. Plus great playing of course.
