Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary Guitar in Atomic Violet

The Nick Johnston Traditional delivers a balanced, versatile platform with a comfortable wenge neck and responsive HSS pickup configuration. This 10th anniversary model combines Nick Johnston's signature preferences with Schecter's refined construction, resulting in an instrument equally suited to high-gain work and articulate, clean tones. The striking Atomic Violet gloss finish makes a statement without compromising the guitar's serious playability credentials.

Playability & Construction

The wenge neck with Nick Johnston's signature "C" profile and 14" fretboard radius provides comfortable access across the entire 22 jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard. The bolt-on solid alder body with 25.5" scale length and 1.653" nut width support both standard and extended playing techniques, while the Graph Tech Tusq XL nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod ensure long-term stability and intonation reliability.

Tone & Electronics

The HSS pickup configuration pairs a Schecter USA Nick Johnston Sub-Atomic humbucker bridge pickup with Sub-Atomic single-coil neck and middle pickups, delivering clarity in the upper register and powerful low-end response. The master volume control, master tone with push/pull coil split, and 5-way pickup selector provide extensive tonal flexibility, while the Schecter Nouveau tremolo bridge system and Schecter Nouveau locking tuning machines maintain tuning stability during aggressive playing.
