Schecter PT or the Schecter PT Fastback IIB

Schecter PT.

It looks the coolest.
It will intonate more easily (6 saddles).
It's more versatile (coil tapping).
It probably weighs the least of the 3.

 

Good luck!

I actually had one of these, back in the day:

 

That PT Standard looks like it has pretty hot pickups - like a humbucker made of two SD Quarter Pounders. If you are OK with that...

 

I'd go with the standard PT (the black one with two humbuckers and no trem) , it's the closest to the original models from the late '70s and early '80s.

 

Thank you. You are correct. I meant Schecter PT.

I have corrected my post.

 

I had one of the plain, black, double-bound PTs with the Superrock II pickups. It played and sounded great, but also weighed half a ton.

 

I prefer Deluxes so I’d go Fastback. Plus a Bigsby. No question.

 

Firstly, I meant Schecter PT, not Schecter PT Standard (I editted my original post accordingly).

To answer your question, I can say that the PT is a very versatile guitar, capable of everything from jangly, single-coil tones to thick, fuzzy humbucker tones. I deliberately chose and posted the YouTube video because it is very representative of the range of tones possible with the PT.

I did sell the PT soon after I purchased it, due to "headstock envy". Jam buddies would roll their eyes when I pulled my Schecter out of the case (they all played Fender's or Gibson's). What can I say? I was young and impressionable those many years ago.

All that said, I WILL also say that it far easier to get parts and accessories for the big names, like Fender and Gibson. Something to think about.
