Schecter PT BK

La chitarra è una fantastica super tele molto versatile.
Il pickup hanno un output molto elevato che non tarderanno a mandare in saturazione il pre del vostro ampli, regalandovi un suono grintoso ma definito in tutte le posizioni.
Le bobine sono inoltre splittabili in modo da raggiungere ogni sfumatura sonora desiderabile, una chitarra adattabile davvero a ogni stile dal blues al metal più estremo.
Il manico è molto comodo e scorrevole, e il body regala un sustain da paura senza rinunciare al classico attacco Tele.
Le rifiniture sono buone (anche se non ottime, ma in linea con il prezzo contenuto della chitarra) e la chitarra è molto piacevole alla vista. Si poteva fare qualcosa di più per il legno del manico, che risulta un po' scialbo, ma anche in questo caso sicuramente avrebbe comportato un prezzo maggiore.
Sono molto soddisfatto del mio acquisto

Disclaimer: I received this guitar on 29/04/2020, so I will update this review in a year or so.

Luthiery: The guitar looks fabulous, much better than in the photos. The glossy black finish looks amazing along with the cream-coloured bindings! Looking closely you can distinguished the main lines of the woods under the paint... Is it a defect? I like it either way. The neck is simply incredible, the maple is beautiful, with a glossy lacker finish on top of the fretboard, and a satin/very smooth finish on the back. My neck has a defect on the 12th fret side marker, it (I guess) wasn't sanded properly and grips a bit just on one spot but it doesn't affect the playability at all. Another con, which I don't like that much is that nearly all the fret starting from the 9th are a bit corroded... Fortunately, this is just a cosmetic issue, as the frets are all smooth. And I love the guitar too much to send it back for this defect. Other than that everything looks great. If I would want to be picky, I'd say that I can spot some minor defects on the border between the binding and the wood. I can live with those defects.

Sound/features: The guitar sounds AMAZING! Shecter has chosen incredible versatile pick-ups for this guitar! And the really well made push-up nob to choose between single-coil and humbucker pickups is a really convenient feature. The 3-way switch works great, though in the middle position (Bridge&Neck) the switch is a bit wobbly, that's me being picky.

Overall, a huge amount of guitar for the money! The playability with this maple neck is top-notch, and the incredible pick-ups + features make for a super versatile guitar. This is my dream guitar.

If you're looking for a telecaster shape guitar, the Schecter PT is just like a Tele, but it looks better, sounds better, is more versatile and has more guts. It is also obviously much cheaper!

Thanks, Thomann for the delivery, even during these crazy times.

Edit 02/12/2020: This guitar is still fabulous, though I will change the nut because the original plastic one is not great.

Edit 07/05/2022: I can't get enough of this guitar, the playability is just perfect for me. No defect to this day.

The Schecter PT is a very nice guitar. The neck profile feels like an F-type modern C shape, satin laquered on the back, gloss lacquered on the fretboard. Long term I think most players will consider swapping out the pickups for their preferred humbuckers - I'd probably go for high quality PAF-types or maybe humbucker sized P90s.

These guitars are made in the same Korean factory that makes PRS SE and ESP LTD guitars and I found build quality to be on par - in short, very well made for the cost. Thoroughly recommended for those looking for a T-type guitar with less twang and more guts.

J'ai d'abord été bluffé par la qualité de frabrication de cette guitare.

C'est ma première Schecter et j'avais entendu dire que le rapport qualité/prix de cette marque était excellent. Je peux maintenant le confirmer.

Bien sûr elle n'est pas donnée, mais croyez moi elle vaut largement son prix.

Elle a un look d'enfer, les photos sur internet ne rendent pas bien le sublime vernis brillant et les liserets crème que l'on trouve sur les 2 tranches. C'est vraiment la grande classe.

Le manche est rond. Je dirais qu'il est entre la strat' et la LP niveau épaisseur. Comme je n'ai jamais possédé d'autres Télé, je ne peux pas comparer.

Le dos du manche est naturel, c'est à dire sans vernis ou laque, super doux, anti-transpirant donc et rapide. J'adore !

L'accès aux aigus est ce qui m'a le moins plu, mais j'imagine que c'est le cas pour toutes les télé. C'est pour ça que je n'ai pas mis le max pour les caractéristiques.

Le vrai + de cette gratte c'est indéniablement les micros qui offrent une très grande polyvalence. Vous pouvez absolument tout jouer avec cet instrument.

De la country, of course, du gros métal en passant par le rock, blues, la pop, le funk ... tout passe et très bien.

Cela est dû à la puissance des micros et au vrai splitt qui vous permet de passer en un clin d'oeil des single coils aux humbuckers. C'est vraiment impressionnant la palette de son qu'offre cette guitare, sans perte de volume.

Le sustain est excellent (elle pèse son p'ti poids en même temps) donc un p'ti Gary Moore ou Santana en micro manche (vraiment proche d'une LP), c'est le pied.

Bref si vous avez le budget et que vous cherchez une télé mais que vous voulez également de la puissance et de la polyvalence, ne cherchez pas plus loin, vous ne trouverez pas mieux, à mon avis.
