Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS LH guitar in Atomic Green

HSS pairs two Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups (neck and middle) with a Schecter Diamond '78 humbucker at the bridge. The 5-way selector gives you those pickup combinations, and the push-pull coil-split on the volume/tone controls lets you voice the bridge humbucker as a single coil, effectively expanding your sonic options across vintage clean tones and aggressive high-output aggression.

No—this model is optimized for rock, blues, and hard rock. The single-coil and moderate humbucker voicing are not designed to deliver the extreme gain and tight low-end response that metal and djent styles require.

The roasted maple neck features a Vintage 'C' profile measuring 0.787 inches at the first fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret—a slim, ergonomic shape suited to both rhythm and lead playing. The ebony fretboard with 14-inch radius and X-Jumbo frets speeds up access and feels natural across extended sessions, making it a dependable choice for touring and studio work.

The guitar includes a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut, Schecter Locking Tuners, and a Schecter Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge with chrome hardware—all engineered to keep intonation solid and reliable whether you're gigging, recording, or tracking multiple takes in the studio.

This left-handed Nick Johnston delivers the same professional-grade components and thoughtful design as its right-handed counterpart, including roasted maple construction, ebony fretboard, HSS versatility, and coil-split capability—built specifically for left-handed players who need a road-ready instrument without compromise.
