Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HH Electric Guitar (Atomic Mercury)

The Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HH was unveiled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Nick Johnstons acclaimed signature model and is based on the guitar he currently tours with alongside the legendary progressive metal band Mastodon. Featuring a double cut alder body finished in striking Atomic Mercury Silver Burst, this high performance electric guitar combines classic styling with modern playability. Its custom Nick Johnston C shape wenge neck is paired with a 14 inch radius ebony fingerboard and Jescar premium German silver frets for a fast, comfortable playing experience. Loaded with a pair of Nick Johnston Atom Bucker Alnico III humbuckers and a push pull coil split, it delivers a wide range of tones, from articulate single coil sounds to powerful humbucking output, making it equally at home in jazz fusion, rock, and progressive metal. A smooth 2 point tremolo bridge and locking tuning machines ensure excellent tuning stability and dependable performance, resulting in a versatile, road ready instrument that blends vintage inspired aesthetics with modern performance and exceptional tone.

When he first burst onto the progressive instrumental scene, Nick Johnston earned a reputation as a visionary player who drew on many styles to produce truly innovative sounds and melodic instrumentals. Designed to serve his incredibly smooth, impossibly technical fretwork, the Custom Shop Nick Johnston USA Traditional HHs custom C-shape wenge neck allows high-level players to truly stretch out and explore the fullest reaches of their aggressive artistry. Moreover, this sublime solidbodys 14-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, crowned with 22 Jescar premium German silver frets, is an incredibly potent firing table for intricate, rapid-fire legato techniques, nuanced, expressive bends, and fleet-fingered sweep picking and tapping. Youll also find it difficult to peel your eyes away from the Custom Shop Nick Johnston USA Traditional HHs eye-catching Silver Rings fingerboard inlays, which offer the perfect complement to the guitars attention-grabbing Atomic Mercury finish.

When we test-drove the Schecter Custom Shop Nick Johnston USA Traditional HHs Nick Johnston signature Atom-Bucker pickups we were shocked by their sheer sonic flexibility. Housing Alnico III magnets, these humbuckers deliver a darker, moderate-output tone with clear, full mids and soft highs. If youre playing jazz fusion or classic rock, Atom-Buckers respond exceptionally well to your picking dynamics, enabling you to command clean and mid-gain tones with absolute authority. Pushing a high-gain tube amp or modeling preset, however, unleashes a truly savage sonic beast, allowing you to summon thunderous growls and metallic screams on par with any high-output metal-voiced humbucker out there. Finally, the Custom Shop Nick Johnston USA Traditional HH features Master Volume and Master Tone knobs and 5-way switching, along with a push-pull coil split, putting an endless range of usable tones firmly at your disposal.
