Schecter Nick Johnston PT Lefty Guitar in Atomic Green
This left-handed Nick Johnston PT captures balanced, articulate recordings with its Vintage "C" neck profile and roasted hard rock maple construction. The 25.5" scale with 22 jumbo frets and 14" radius ebony fretboard enables precise intonation and fast session work across the entire neck, while the alder body and bolt-on construction deliver direct signal transmission and transparent tone definition. Finished in striking Atomic Green with chrome hardware, this instrument pairs practical studio versatility with distinctive visual character.
Recording-Ready Construction
The roasted hard rock maple neck resists seasonal movement for consistent tracking across sessions, while the ebony fretboard with brass circle inlays provides durability and visual refinement. Neck dimensions measure 0.825" at the 1st fret and 0.865" at the 12th fret, accommodating both comfort and precise control during extended recording takes, supported by a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access spoke wheel and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.67" width. Schecter locking tuners ensure stable pitch retention throughout full tracking sessions without drift.
Tone & Mix Integration
The pickup configuration pairs a Schecter Diamond '78 humbucker in the neck position with a Schecter Nick Johnston single-coil bridge pickup, delivering warm, articulate rhythm tones and bright, cutting lead definition for flexible layering in the mix. Control layout includes volume, tone with push-pull function, and a 3-way switch with metal knurled knobs and set screws, enabling quick sonic adjustments between takes, while the Diamond PT-S bridge provides stable intonation and reliable sustain for consistent recorded output.
