1980’s pre-lawsuit Schecter PT…???

[entmoot]

I own pre-lawsuit Schecter PT.
I purchased it in 1993 from the original owner.
I am trying to find out when and where it was manufactured.
Any information would be appreciated.

please see the attached pictures

The information I have on this guitar is it's very nice.

Near as I can find, this is a Schecter Saturn, manufactured in Dallas, Texas USA area between 1983 and 1986 (possibly VERY early 1987). The neck is actually a Fender Telecaster neck, which Fender didn't mind while Schecter had been a small custom shop, but now that they were mass-producing, Fender was none too pleased about.

The lawsuit basically ended Schecter Guitars until it was bought by a Japanese investor, who brought the company back to California and back to building custom shop guitars.

It's possible there's more serial number-style info in the neck pocket or a pickup cavity, and you're unlikely to get better information without it. If you do find something more substantial, you can email Schecter from their website's contact page and ask them.

Thanks for all of the information.
