Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS Electric Guitar Atomic Orange B Stock

This Nick Johnston Traditional HSS sits perfectly in the hands with its thin C-profile neck and roasted maple construction, ready for extended sessions and live gigs. The Atomic Orange finish with contrasting mint green pickguard commands the stage, while the HSS configuration delivers everything from bright, articulate single-coil snap to humbucker grunt. Note: This is B stock with a small dent on the back of the neck—visible in photos but functionally transparent to playability.

Playability & Feel

The roasted maple neck and fretboard paired with a thin C profile and 14" radius create a fast, responsive platform for both lead and rhythm work across any style. 22 X-Jumbo frets lock in aggressive bending and vibrato techniques without fret sprout, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and 25.5" scale maintain rock-solid string spacing and intonation night after night. Schecter locking tuners keep pitch locked in during demanding performances, and heel access truss rod adjustment makes neck relief tweaks quick and straightforward in any situation.

Tone & Electronics

The HSS configuration pairs two Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions with a Schecter Diamond '78 humbucker at the bridge, covering the full spectrum from crystalline cleans to thick, sustained lead tones that cut through a mix. Master volume and master tone controls with push-pull coil-split functionality shape your tone on the fly, while the 5-way selector switch accesses all classic single-coil blends and mixed positions plus the split humbucker voice for maximum sonic versatility across setlists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect this guitar?

B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections; in this case, a small dent on the back of the neck visible in photos but completely transparent to playability, tone, and structural integrity. You receive the complete manufacturer warranty coverage and a premium instrument at a reduced price.

Is the HSS pickup configuration good for both clean and driven tones?

Yes. The two Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single coils deliver bright, articulate cleans with classic snap, while the Diamond '78 humbucker at the bridge provides thick, sustained tones for rock and lead work. The push-pull coil-split adds even more tonal range without switching guitars.

How does the thin C-profile neck feel for fast playing?

The thin C-profile paired with a 14" fretboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets creates a fast, comfortable platform ideal for lead work and aggressive bending. Neck thickness measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, balancing playability with enough substance for stability.

What genres is this guitar designed for?

It excels in indie, rock, progressive, and studio sessions. The versatile HSS configuration and articulate single-coil/humbucker blend make it less suited for metal and thrash metal, where heavier pickups and darker tones are typically preferred.

What hardware and features help maintain reliability during gigging?

Schecter locking tuners lock in pitch reliably between sets, the Diamond Vintage Style tremolo bridge maintains stable tuning, and the heel access truss rod makes quick neck relief adjustments easy without removing the neck. The 25.5" scale length and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure consistent intonation across all positions.
