This PT Special PBP is a seriously cool take on a classic T-style. The purple burst finish is gorgeous, and the pickup combination gives you a surprising amount of versatility – from clean, glassy tones to gritty, bluesy growl. It’s a fantastic option for players who love that vintage aesthetic but want a modern feel and reliable hardware.
