Sound & Tone
The alder body and 25.5" scale give this Schecter a bright, snappy attack with clear note separation, while the roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard add firmness and definition to the top end. The Diamond Nick Johnston single-coils in the neck and middle positions cover glassy cleans and vocal blues leads, and the Diamond '78 bridge humbucker thickens things up for classic rock and heavier overdriven work, with the 5-way switch and push-pull control expanding the range in between. Paired with a vintage-style tremolo and X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius, it suits players who bend and vibrato heavily across blues, funk, pop and rock sessions.
Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS Guitar Atomic Green B-Stock
This Nick Johnston Traditional is built for gigging musicians and studio session players who demand responsiveness and versatility in a single instrument. The thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale feel fast and comfortable under the hand, while the bolt-on alder body delivers the punch and clarity needed on stage and in the mix. The striking Atomic Green finish with chrome hardware commands presence under the lights. B-stock condition with a fretboard crack (see photos) makes this an exceptional value for a professional-grade instrument.
Playability & Neck Design
The roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard and brass circle inlays is built for stability through touring and session work. Twenty-two X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius handle everything from precise single-note articulation to aggressive string bending and wide vibrato. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners keep your intonation rock-solid across sets and help you hold tuning through heavy playing.
Electronics & Tone
The HSS pickup configuration pairs a Schecter Diamond '78 bridge humbucker with Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil middle and neck pickups, letting you pull warm, driven tones for blues and classic rock or snap into crisp, cutting articulation for modern material. A push-pull volume/tone control and 5-way switch give you the tonal range to handle multiple genres in a single gig without swapping instruments.
