Sound & Tone
Three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coils in an alder body give this guitar a bright, articulate voice with quick attack and clear note separation, from warm and rounded at the neck to snappy and cutting at the bridge, with the 5-way switch adding the familiar hollowed-out in-between positions. The 25.5" scale, roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard tighten the low end and add snap on top, while the Diamond Vintage Tremolo allows everything from subtle shimmer to expressive dives. It suits blues, funk, pop and melodic rock players who lean on clean and edge-of-breakup tones, and the 14" radius with 22 extra-jumbo frets supports bending and legato lead work as readily as tight rhythm playing.
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 genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
