Description
Sound & Tone
The HSS layout gives this Schecter two distinct voices: the Nick Johnston signature single-coils in the neck and middle positions offer clear, articulate highs and glassy in-between tones, while the Diamond '78 humbucker in the bridge adds punchy midrange and thicker drive for heavier rock and alternative passages. An alder body with figured maple cap and ebony fretboard keep note attack tight and defined, and the 25.5" scale with vintage-style tremolo lends snap, sustain, and pitch-bending expression. Roasted maple neck with a thin C profile, 22 extra-jumbo frets, and a flatter 14" radius favor fluid legato lines and lead phrasing, making it a fit for players moving between clean rhythm work, chordal voicings, and higher-gain soloing.
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.

What is the neck profile and who should it suit?
The roasted maple neck features a thin C-profile with an ebony fretboard, 22 extra-jumbo frets, and a 14-inch radius. This design is optimized for intermediate to advanced players who focus on lead work, fast legato passages, and extended playing sessions, supporting smooth intonation and hand comfort.
What genres does this guitar excel in?
The Nick Johnston Traditional is designed for rock, metal, alternative, and progressive styles. The articulate single-coils and punchy midrange humbucker deliver the cut and clarity these genres demand, though it is not optimized for jazz or blues.
What scale length and nut width does it have?
The guitar features a 25.50-inch scale length and a 1.653-inch nut width, providing balanced string spacing for precise fretting and comfortable hand positioning across extended playing sessions.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
