Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar in Atomic Orange
The Nick Johnston Traditional delivers a comfortable, balanced feel in hand with its thin 'C' neck profile and manageable body depth. The 25.5" scale and roasted maple neck provide excellent sustain and stability, while the Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge offers smooth pitch modulation without excessive string slippage. This right-handed configuration ships new in the box with full Schecter warranty coverage.
Playability & Feel
The neck measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, maintaining the classic thin 'C' profile that suits both single-note work and chord voicings. 22 X-Jumbo frets sit on a 14" fretboard radius for responsive bending and fretting comfort, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" wide) ensures solid string seating and tuning stability. Schecter Locking tuners and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access make setup and maintenance straightforward.
Tone & Recording Performance
Three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston Single-coil pickups deliver articulate, bell-like highs and punchy mids across all pickup configurations via the 5-way switch, cutting through dense mixes with clarity and definition. The Volume and Tone controls (with push-pull function) and Vintage knobs provide intuitive shaping from bright and snappy to warm and full, allowing quick tonal adjustments during tracking or layering without the noise floor of humbuckers.
