Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar Atomic Green B-Stock
The Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional captures articulate, responsive performance in the studio with its roasted maple neck and thin C-profile, engineered for extended tracking sessions across lead work and complex voicings. The contoured double-cutaway body provides ergonomic stability during long recording days, while the figured maple cap and striking Atomic Green finish deliver visual character for session documentation and band aesthetics. This B-stock model offers full professional recording capability at a substantial discount from new pricing.
Playability & Recording Precision
The roasted maple neck with thin C-profile and ebony fretboard provide a fast, responsive surface ideal for capturing clean takes and intricate lead performances, while 22 extra-jumbo frets and a 14" radius support smooth legato tracking and accurate intonation across the full fingerboard. A 25.50" scale length combined with the 1.653" nut width creates balanced spacing that translates to precise fretting during layered recording sessions and comfortable hand positioning through extended studio use.
Tone & Mix Integration
The HSS pickup configuration pairs two Nick Johnston signature single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions with a Diamond '78 humbucker in the bridge, delivering articulate highs and punchy midrange that sit clearly in rock, metal, and alternative mixes. The vintage-style tremolo bridge and Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut contribute clarity and sustain for recorded passages, while Schecter locking tuners ensure stable tuning through multiple takes and session layers.
