Sound & Tone
The alder body, bolt-on roasted maple neck and 25.5" scale give this PT a bright, snappy voice with firm string tension and clear note separation. The Nick Johnston single coil in the bridge brings twang and bite that cuts through a band, while the Diamond '78 humbucker at the neck fills things out with warmer, rounder body, and the push-pull tone control adds further wiring options from the three-way switch. It's a strong fit for blues, funk, pop and classic or modern rock players who want sparkling clean tones and expressive bends, with enough output to handle overdrive and lead work.
Schecter Nick Johnston PT Guitar in Atomic Ink
The Nick Johnston PT is engineered for tracking and layering with a Vintage "C" neck profile and roasted maple construction that delivers stability and predictable feel across multiple takes. The bolt-on alder body design combines offset character with modern hardware and electronics, yielding a versatile recording tool that captures articulate single-coil tones while maintaining mix clarity. The Atomic Ink finish provides visual distinction in session documentation and on-camera work.
Playability & Neck Design for Recording
The 25.5" scale and Vintage "C" neck profile—measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—support consistent intonation and repeatable tracking sessions with minimal hand fatigue. 22 Jumbo frets with a 14" fretboard radius enable precise bending and note accuracy across multiple passes, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.643" width) locks in reliable string seating and sustain from the first string strike through overdubs.
Tone & Electronics in the Mix
The pairing of a Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston Single Coil bridge pickup with a Schecter Diamond '78 neck pickup delivers frequency-balanced articulation that sits cleanly in dense arrangements without muddiness or excess noise. The Volume/Tone (Push-Pull)/3-Way Switch configuration and metal knurled knobs with set screws allow quick mid-session adjustments and reproducible tone recalls for punch-in work and alternative takes.
