Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar Atomic Green B-Stock
This unplayed B-stock Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional tracks with clarity and responsiveness in the studio, thanks to its thin "C" neck profile and roasted maple construction. The Atomic Green finish delivers visual character on camera or in the tracking booth, while the guitar's bolt-on alder body and ebony fretboard combine lightweight resonance with articulate single-coil tone that cuts through dense mixes. Minor cosmetic wear—a tiny crack at the neck pocket visible in close-up photos—has no impact on playability or performance.
Recording Feel & Precision
The thin "C" neck contour measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, enabling rapid tracking takes and comfortable extended sessions without hand fatigue. A 25.50" scale length with 22 X-Jumbo frets and 14" fretboard radius ebony fingerboard delivers precise intonation across all register changes, while Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut lock in stable tuning between punch-ins and overdubs.
Tone & Signal Path
The Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston Single Coil neck pickup and Schecter Diamond '78 bridge pickup capture articulate, vintage-voiced single-coil character with transparent dynamics that respond naturally to pick dynamics and technique. A straightforward control layout featuring master volume, master tone, and 5-way switch provides fast tonal adjustments during session work, while the Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge delivers smooth modulation effects and maintains pitch stability across multiple takes.
