Sound & Tone
Three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coils give this guitar a bright, articulate voice with clear note separation and usable variety from the 5-way switch, from glassy in-between positions to punchier bridge and rounder neck sounds. The alder body and roasted maple neck and fretboard add balanced resonance and a firm, snappy attack, while the 25.5" scale keeps string tension tight and definition crisp for clean and lightly driven tones alike. It suits blues, rock, funk, pop and instrumental lead playing, and the Diamond Vintage Tremolo opens the door to everything from gentle pitch shimmer to more expressive dive effects.
Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Guitar Atomic Orange B-Stock
This Nick Johnston Traditional sits in your hands with a comfortable vintage 'C' neck profile—thin and fast, built from roasted maple that resists humidity shifts during gigging. The 25.5" scale and 14" fretboard radius balance lead work and full-chord voicings without compromise, landing between vintage comfort and modern playability. In excellent condition, this B-stock example features a small ding to the bass side of the neck—a cosmetic note that doesn't affect playability or tone.
Design & Build Quality
The bolt-on alder body with flat top delivers lightweight response and punchy sustain that cuts through a live mix, while the roasted maple neck and fretboard offer rock-solid stability and a worn-in feel under your fingers. Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners lock in tuning through a full set, holding tight across extended gigs and studio work.

Three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups deliver articulate, transparent tones with clear definition across the frequency spectrum—perfect for cutting through a band mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will this guitar play and sound as well as a new one?
B-Stock means this guitar has minor cosmetic imperfections on the finish—in this case, a small ding on the bass side of the neck—but is fully functional and mechanically identical to new stock. Playability, tone, and structural integrity are completely unaffected, and it includes full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or drop tunings?
No—the Nick Johnston Traditional is voiced and designed for rock, progressive, indie, and studio work rather than metal applications. While it can be tuned down, the single-coil pickups and tonal character are optimized for articulate, bright cleans and classic-voiced overdrive rather than heavy, dark metal tones.
What does the neck feel like, and how fast is it for lead playing?
The roasted maple neck has a comfortable vintage 'C' profile with a thin, fast-playing feel and graduated thickness that becomes slightly thicker toward the 12th fret. The 25.5" scale, 14" fretboard radius, and 22 X-Jumbo frets strike a balance between modern playability and classic comfort, supporting both rapid lead work and full-chord voicings.
Will the Diamond Vintage Tremolo stay in tune during aggressive use?
Yes—the Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge is designed to maintain tuning integrity even with extended vibrato and dramatic effects. Combined with the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners, the system provides reliable intonation and tuning retention across long playing sessions and gigs.
What kind of tone should I expect from the three single-coil pickups?
The three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coils deliver classic, articulate tones with clarity across all frequencies, from bright, expressive cleans to punchy driven tones. This pickup set is voiced for the articulate character that defines rock and progressive music rather than thick, compressed modern voicings.
