Wenge Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Precision Playing

This instrument's wenge neck, paired with an ebony fingerboard, provides a balanced blend of smooth playability and tonal responsiveness. The Nick Johnston C-shaped neck profile offers comfort across all playing styles, while the 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets ensure effortless bending and sustain. With a 14" radius and a scale length of 25.5", this guitar is engineered for accuracy and speed, whether you're exploring intricate fingerstyle techniques or delivering soaring leads. The addition of metal ring inlays adds a subtle yet elegant visual touch, reflecting the guitar's attention to detail. Together, these features enhance playability and tonal depth, making every performance fluid and precise.

Schecter USA Sub Atomic Pickups for Dynamic Tone

The Nick Johnston Traditional features Schecter USA Sub Atomic pickups, delivering a wide array of tonal options for both rhythm and lead work. The HSS configuration includes a powerful humbucker at the bridge and two single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions. These pickups are designed for clarity, warmth and articulation, capturing everything from crisp cleans to aggressive overdrive. The push-pull coil-split function expands the tonal palette by transforming the bridge humbucker into a single coil, allowing players to seamlessly switch between bold and nuanced sounds. Combined with the 5-way toggle switch, this setup ensures precise control over every sonic detail.

Schecter Nouveau Tremolo and Locking Tuners Enhance Stability

This guitar is outfitted with the Schecter Nouveau tremolo system and locking tuners to provide exceptional tuning stability and smooth performance. The tremolo system enables expressive pitch modulation, from subtle vibrato to dramatic dives, while the locking tuners secure string tension for consistent tuning during extended sessions. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut further enhances tuning reliability while contributing to improved sustain and tonal clarity. The Music City Bridge Three String Tree string retainer is designed to optimize string alignment and reduce friction, ensuring the guitar remains stable and responsive under heavy use. Together, these components create a highly durable and reliable platform for professional performance.

The alder body of this guitar provides a resonant tonal foundation with balanced mids and vibrant highs. Its traditional top contour design not only enhances the vintage aesthetic but also offers ergonomic comfort during long practice sessions or gigs.
