Frequently asked questions
What is the key difference in tremolo systems?
The Nick Johnston uses a fixed Diamond PT-S bridge for stable intonation. The Synyster has a Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo that enables aggressive string bending, dive bombs, and extreme vibrato techniques while maintaining tuning stability.
How do the neck profiles compare?
The Nick Johnston features a Vintage 'C' profile (0.825 at 1st fret, 0.865 at 12th fret). The Synyster has an ultra-thin 'C' profile (0.748 at 1st fret, 0.787 at 12th fret), making it faster for rapid position shifts and higher-fret access.
Which guitar has more tonal versatility?
The Nick Johnston offers wider tonal range with its mixed pickup configuration: a warm, articulate Schecter Diamond '78 humbucker in the neck and a bright, cutting Nick Johnston single-coil bridge pickup. The Synyster uses matched dual Schecter Diamond Synyster Gates Signature Humbuckers for a more unified, aggressive character.
Why is the Synyster listed as B-stock?
B-stock means the guitar may have minor cosmetic imperfections but maintains full functionality and performance. It provides cost savings without compromising playability or tone.
