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. 👍

They combined the early Tele Deluxe look WITH the top binding, but added the top and belly cut - without disrupting the vintage look. Obviously a back binding isn't practical with all the back cuts at the belly, neck heel and cutaway.

I've bough it two days ago in the same finish, 3TSB. Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Excellent sound and feel and looks stunning. For me this is a tele done right. Couldn't be happier. Thanks a bunch Darrell!

I bought a G&L Tele, the Fullerton Deluxe Classic Bluesboy, with an Alnico 2 humbucker in neck position. It's a keeper. Got the classic twang from bridge pick up Leo's MFD, strat like middle position, and fat warm neck tone still well defined and articulate. Perfect finish, gorgeous ash grain body. No regret to have sold my Fender US Tele Deluxe.

[@hanomag251]

Nice review on this one. My first guitar was a Schecter. Didn't know nothing about guitars back in those days but I felt in love right away with the guitar. This one sounds really good. I really like the colour and the binding. Dont have a tele right now and this one is certainly going to my list of guitar to get in the future!!!

[@actionpotato]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I was looking to buy a player series in November but you sold me on this. Thanks!

[@jasonc5085]

Thank you for this, Darrell. I've been racking my brain trying to single out a mid-level guitar to move up into, which was between a Fender Player Strat or a Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute P90. Well, it appears that the SGR PT Special is going to give me the best of both, in one well constructed package. All I need to do now is find one to play, before handing over the cash. Thanks again, Sir.

[@davidkuhlman2856]

Great demo! Really helped me make the decision to pull the trigger (ordered the black/rosewood option). Should arrive tomorrow and I can't wait to try it out. I can see this as one of my main gigging guitars.

[@arielista]

Schecter is just killing it with the more traditional style guitars, a friend of mines just got a Nick Johnston Traditional not the usa one and it just a killer guitar.

[@chrisbakermusicnm]

Glad to hear you like it! I’ve owned mine for a few years now, it’s a tank and my workhorse. Also capable of so many tones! Schecter hit this one out of the park. Keep making great videos! Your D’Angelico Atlantic/Les Paul comparison convinced me to pull the trigger on an Atlantic, it should arrive in two days! Great content

[@rohanjangam511]

Hi chris, can you tell me more about the PT? Im torn between this, a fender player tele and a squier classic vibe 70s custom tele (humbucker in the neck); I'm biased towards the PT cause I already own a schecter c6 pro and i'm more than happy with the quality. but please tell me what you feel

[@josephcavanaugh9961]

Thank you for demonstrating this guitar. I've built 4 teles. The next needed an arm bevel, belly cut, p90 neck pickup. Top binding wasn't even considered. This guitar checks all those boxes.

[@drumsurfdump]

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.

Another really informative review. Thanks, Darrell. I'm starting to get your enthusiasm about Schecter guitars. Always stayed away from them because I'm a more 'classic' style player. But this guitar really has me intrigued. P90 and tele pickups.... great combination. I wish companies like this would go the extra step of volume and tone controls for each pick up so blending pickups was more modifyable for the player. I've had stacked pots installed on one of my strats and it's amazing what kind of tones are available when the player can blend sounds. Thanks for another great review and 'expanding my vision'.

I have one of these. The stock pups are okay. Unexpectedly jazzy with the p90 in the neck and push pull. But, took the plunge and had some Fishman Gristletones installed. Absolutely love it now. Love the tone & comfy contours on the body. Serious bang for the buck vs. other brands.

[@jackstrap82]

I love Schecter, their metal arsenal is particularly impressive, and they still manage to pull off classics quite well as proved by your video. Speaking of which, I wanted to thank you personally for your video where you picked up a beat up Les Paul and upgraded it with black hardware and made it into an instrument anyone would be proud to have. It inspired me to pick up a road worn Schecter Demon 7 FR with a missing trem arm for 120 CAD$ at a local pawn shop. It sounded like garbage but as I suspected, the battery was the culprit. I replaced it, tightened the hardware, ordered the trem bar online and gave it a bit of TLC. I now have a fantastic instrument that cost me less than 150$ and I would have likely overlooked it were it not for your videos. Thanks again, and keep it up!

Hey! Hows it been? How does it play? Any chance you've played a fender tele? I'm kinda torn between a fender player tele and the pt special. How does the p90 compare to a traditional tele neck?

[@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.

[@briancoonrod7224]

Thanks for the great video content had a big surprise at band practice last night my cousin/bass player gave me this guitar 🎸 I was completely blown away says it was an early Christmas/birthday present played it through my drummers fender twin with my Morley pro distortion wah pedal this thing is completely amazing and as versatile as any guitar I’ve ever played last couple of years I’ve wanted a tele for those vintage sounds it gets all those and some great modern clean and dirty tones and really stands out in the mix Schekter really knocked it outa the park here the neck and frets and fit and finish on the guitar is outstanding !!!

[@wildesage4172]

Another great video, Darrell. That's one killer tele. Love the P90 and the series options, super versatile. But more importantly, my man, I really like the format of you switching back and forth between playing and commentating in real time. Your production value is always really great, so the normal way of cutting away for the sound demo is just fine, but it's a nice little surprise to get your impressions more in real-time. Keep playing around with the format, it keeps things exciting! Happy Halloween!

I recently purchased a P90 to put in the neck position of my Tele and I thought about the review of this beautiful Tele or rather 'P90/Tele' Special. I have an '02 Tradition CAB10 Tele that i already previously installed a 4-way switch and the factory-installed G&B Alnico 5 bridge pickup has plenty of bite, twang and snap @8.5K ohms; the P90 is fatter than Strat pickup which is fatter than a Tele neck pickup and that's how far I want it to be without resulting to a humbucking pickup and this Schecter has reinforced the P90 process to my guitar... great video by the way!

Darrell I got a PT Special this past week and you, along with this review, enticed me to go for it. Man, was you spot on about this guitar! I ordered it through zZounds and when I opened it it was flawless. Every aspect of this beauty showed impeccable quality and craftsmanship. It sounds so good it's been hard to put it down. Schecter knocked this one out of the park. Now it's got me jonesing for the emerald green fastback with the Bigsby. This is second Schecter, I have the C-6 Deluxe and for a $300 guitar, it too, is a flawless work of art. But I'm giving you thanks for opening my eyes to the PT Special. I'm going to be enjoying this 3-tone jewel for years to come. I don't even have to mod it to make right. That's awesome. Thanks again Darrell for making this video and the Fastback vid. It's next on my list after getting this guitar. The HH Fastback is on my mind too. But all in due time. Later man !

@@TheRycooder Hey man ! Honestly I can't answer that question considering I've never played nor handled a MIM. Sorry Hooter Bear. But from what I've heard the quality in craftsmanship, especially finishing the frets, the pots, and such people seem to lean toward the Schecter. The PT SPECIAL is a hundred dollars cheaper in price but you're not losing any quality at all and ya just might be getting a higher quality instrument. That's all depending on the individuals perspective. I say go for it HB. I don't think you'll regret it one bit. I hope that helps ya at least a little bit.

Love that p90 in the neck, love the design, the contours, the shape of the headstock (favorite headstock shape), love the build quality as you showcased and it was instant crush on the sound. I'm definitely gonna buy this someday, and maybe I'll change that bridge with the one without the raised edges along the top and bottom.

@@jnorthrop70 Sad to hear. Thats the kind of problems I thought would be avoidable when ordering a Schecter from what I've heard. 🤔 How is the guitar otherwise?

[@jnorthrop70]

@@Benke01 the guitar needs a 2nd string tree which I am installing. There is not enough tension on the nut. The bridge pickup is ice pick shrill and in order to get my amp dialed in to take the edge off, the neck pickup becomes a muddy mess.

I'm such a Sucker for a nice Tele! Well done and thanks for sharing brother, Be Well D!

I would just flip the wiring to have the default signal be series - that sounded so nice!
