The Korena take

Schecter’s PT Special is a right-handed, six-string solidbody with a single-cutaway ash body in Purple Burst. Its hard rock maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, Vintage C profile, and jumbo frets set the playing platform, while the Diamond VT-1 and V-90 pickups supply its vintage-leaning voice. A coil split and series/parallel wiring broaden the available pickup settings, moving from clarity and twang to greater strength. The 25.5-inch scale, fixed bridge, and locking tuning machines round out the build.
