Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar Atomic Ink B-Stock
The Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional sits naturally in your hands with its vintage-inspired "C"-profile neck and 25.5" scale length. Finished in striking Atomic Ink
Playability & Feel
Roasted maple neck and fretboard provide stability and smooth playability, with a vintage "C" profile that accommodates both fingerstyle and pick work comfortably. The 22 jumbo frets across a 14" radius facilitate clean bends and chord work, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures reliable sustain and intonation. Neck thickness measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—a genuine vintage feel without sacrifice of playability.
Tone & Electronics
The paired Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups cut through on stage with articulate, bell-like response and natural clarity across all registers—the signature voicing behind this artist model. The Diamond vintage tremolo bridge and volume/tone/5-way switch control scheme deliver both tonal range and authentic vintage vibrato feel, while Schecter locking tuners keep pitch locked in through extended sets and heavy use.
