The PT is the Schecter design that carries Pete Townshend's initials, and it remains one of the brand's longest-running shapes.
Watch
Why it matters
Early Schecter PTs are collector instruments, while the PT name now sits on a current production guitar in the Diamond Series at a modest price. That split means one model name covers very different instruments, and a buyer needs to know which one is in front of them. The current version keeps the shape in the hands of working players rather than collectors.
Note
The vintage Schecter offset associated with Pete Townshend.

Before you buy
- The vintage PT market and today's production PT are separate things
- Signature association adds a premium on early examples
- Confirm the pickup set and build origin on any current model
