Other notable features include Grover tuners, a GraphTech XL Ivory TUSQ nut and a two-way adjustable truss rod. Like the PT Van Nuys, the PT Special features series/parallel sonic capabilities, accessed via a push/pull knob. This, along with a neck Schecter V-90 P-90-style pickup, is controlled via master volume and tone controls, as well as a three-way toggle switch. The hardware and pickups are far more conventional too, with a Vintage Ashtray with Staggered Brass Saddles bridge piece accommodating a Schecter Diamond VT-1 single-coil. Cream one-ply binding runs around the length of the neck and the body, with 22 X-Jumbo frets and dot mother of pearl inlays adding to that vintage vibe.

Last but certainly not least is the PT Special, which is the most traditionally styled six-string of the trio.Ī swamp ash body, kitted out with an Aqua Burst Pearl finish, lines up alongside a bolt-on C-shape maple neck, which in turn is paired with a rosewood fretboard. The Schecter PT Van Nuys is available now for $899.

The hardware is the same, meaning a two-point Diamond Vintage Tremolo system makes the cut, as do Schecter locking tuners, a GraphTech XL Black TUSQ nut and two-way adjustable truss rod. Position four, meanwhile, sends the signal through the neck pickup in parallel. While positions one, three and five engage the humbuckers on their own and as a pair, position two partners the outer coils of both pickups for classic Tele twangs. These are wired to an equally minimalist control layout featuring master volume and tone controls, as well as a coil-splitting five-way selector switch. In terms of aesthetics, the PT Van Nuys is treated to additional vintage spice in the form of white body binding, and, under the hood, comes equipped with a pair of Schecter USA SuperRock Vintage humbuckers. Sporting the same luxurious ash body with Gloss Natural Ash colorway, the 25.5”-scale T-type six-string also features a roasted maple neck and 14”-radius fretboard, as well as 22 X-Jumbo frets and white side dot inlays. Lining up alongside the aforementioned model is the PT Van Nuys – a single-cut iteration of its double-cut sibling.
