Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary Guitar in Atomic Saffron

The Nick Johnston Traditional HSS is a refined offset design that balances comfort with responsive playability. Its Wenge neck with Nick Johnston's signature "C" profile sits naturally in the hand, while the Atomic Saffron finish delivers visual presence without sacrificing the instrument's versatile voice. Built for players who demand both precision and tonal flexibility in a single instrument.

Playability & Feel

The 25.5" scale length and ebony fretboard with 14" radius provide a smooth playing surface suited to both lead work and rhythm playing. 22 jumbo stainless steel frets ensure durability and consistent action across the neck, while the neck thickness progression from 20.32mm at the 1st fret to 21.59mm at the 12th fret creates a comfortable grip that accommodates different hand sizes and playing techniques.

Tone & Electronics

The HSS pickup configuration pairs USA Subatomic single coils with a coil-split humbucker, providing clarity and articulation across a wide tonal spectrum. A push-pull master tone control engages the coil-split function, allowing players to move fluidly between bright, glassy textures and fuller, saturated tones without switching guitars.
