Description
Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar in Atomic Coral — B-Stock
This Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional combines refined ergonomics with rock-solid construction, delivering a guitar that feels equally at home during extended practice sessions or live performance. The lightweight alder body and vintage 'C'-profile roasted maple neck strike an ideal balance between comfort and control, while the ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets enables precise, fast articulation across the entire range. The Atomic Coral finish commands attention, and the B-stock designation—a minor cosmetic mark near the 12th fret—preserves all the tonal and playability characteristics of the standard retail version at a significant savings.
Playability & Neck Profile
The roasted maple neck with satin finish and vintage 'C' shape lives in your hand without fighting back. Neck dimensions of 0.787" at the 1st fret tapering to 0.866" at the 12th fret keep your hand moving fluidly up and down the board, while the 14" fretboard radius and 22 extra-jumbo frets support both locked-in rhythm passages and soaring lead lines without wearing you out over a three-hour set.
Tone & Electronics
Three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups—positioned at neck, middle, and bridge—deliver the articulate, punchy tones that cut through a live mix with excellent clarity across all registers. The 5-way switching system and dedicated volume/tone controls put classic single-coil versatility within arm's reach, from warm, compressed neck tones that sit perfectly in a band context to bright, cutting bridge response that lets you slice through the mix when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect my playing experience?
B-Stock indicates this unit has minor cosmetic imperfections from display or retail handling—in this case, a small mark near the 12th fret.

You receive the same Schecter quality and full manufacturer warranty coverage at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or high-gain genres?
No—this guitar is optimized for rock, indie, and pop and is not recommended for metal or djent styles. The three single-coil pickups deliver articulate, punchy tones with excellent clarity, but they are voiced for those genres rather than heavy, high-gain applications.

How does the tone range from neck to bridge pickup?
The neck pickup delivers warm, compressed response ideal for smooth rhythm work, while the bridge pickup provides bright, cutting tones that cut through the mix on lead lines. The 5-way selector and dedicated volume and tone controls give you immediate access to all single-coil voicings between these extremes.
