Sound & Tone
The alder body paired with Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single coils and a Diamond '78 bridge pickup gives this guitar a bright, articulate voice with clear note separation and a snappy attack, while the 25.5" scale and ebony fretboard add tightness and sustain to single notes and chords alike. The 5-way switch spans glassy neck tones through to a firmer, more cutting bridge sound, and the Diamond Vintage Tremolo opens the door to expressive vibrato and pitch bends. It suits blues, funk, pop, classic rock and instrumental lead playing where clean clarity and touch sensitivity matter more than high-gain thickness.
Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar Atomic Green B-Stock
This B-stock Nick Johnston Traditional delivers a fast, comfortable playing experience with its thin "C" neck profile and roasted maple construction. The 25.5" scale and ebony fretboard provide excellent sustain and response, while the guitar arrives unplayed and in excellent condition—the only marking is a minor ding to the back of the headstock visible in the close-up photos. This is a substantial savings on a purpose-built signature model.
Playability & Recording Response
The thin "C" neck profile at .787" (20mm) at the first fret tapers to .866" (22mm) at the twelfth fret sits naturally in your hand during tracking sessions without fatigue during extended takes. 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius ebony fretboard and a 1.653" Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut establish precise intonation and smooth string action across the entire neck, critical for capturing consistent articulation across multiple passes.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston Single Coil pickup set—featuring a neck single coil and a Diamond '78 bridge pickup—captures articulate, responsive tones with excellent note definition that translates clearly to tape and mix. The Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge paired with Schecter Locking tuners ensures stable tuning and reliable pitch retention across multiple overdubs, while the master volume, master tone, and 5-way switch deliver versatile tonal shaping for adapting quickly between song sections and arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
