Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS Guitar Atomic Green B-Stock 093
Description
Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS Guitar Atomic Green B-Stock
This Nick Johnston Traditional is built for gigging musicians and studio session players who demand responsiveness and versatility in a single instrument. The thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale feel fast and comfortable under the hand, while the bolt-on alder body delivers the punch and clarity needed on stage and in the mix. The striking Atomic Green finish with chrome hardware commands presence under the lights. B-stock condition with a fretboard crack (see photos) makes this an exceptional value for a professional-grade instrument.
Playability & Neck Design
The roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard and brass circle inlays is built for stability through touring and session work. Twenty-two X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius handle everything from precise single-note articulation to aggressive string bending and wide vibrato. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners keep your intonation rock-solid across sets and help you hold tuning through heavy playing.
Electronics & Tone
The HSS pickup configuration pairs a Schecter Diamond '78 bridge humbucker with Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil middle and neck pickups, letting you pull warm, driven tones for blues and classic rock or snap into crisp, cutting articulation for modern material. A push-pull volume/tone control and 5-way switch give you the tonal range to handle multiple genres in a single gig without swapping instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is B-Stock, and how does it affect this guitar?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and carries full manufacturer warranty, but has a minor cosmetic imperfection—in this case, a small crack on the fretboard at the 22nd fret. This crack is purely superficial and has zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is the HSS pickup configuration good for both clean and driven tones?
Yes. The Schecter Diamond '78 bridge humbucker delivers warm, driven tones, while the Nick Johnston single-coil middle and neck pickups provide crisp articulation. The push-pull volume/tone control and 5-way switch let you shape a wide range of tones across blues, classic rock, and modern genres.
What is the neck profile, and who is it suited for?
The roasted maple neck has a thin 'C' profile (0.787 inches at the 1st fret, 0.866 inches at the 12th fret). This profile works well for intermediate to advanced players who prefer a fast, comfortable feel and spend time on single-note work and bending.
How stable is the tuning and intonation?
The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, Schecter locking tuners, and roasted maple neck construction ensure reliable tuning retention and intonation stability—important for gigging and studio sessions where tuning precision matters.
What genres does this guitar work best for?
The Nick Johnston Traditional is designed for blues, classic rock, indie, and modern rock. The HSS pickup configuration and tonal shaping options make it less suited for metal and djent styles.
