Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary Electric Guitar (Atomic Green)

Guitar virtuoso Nick Johnstons personal preferences directed the design of his 6-strings every iteration, and this Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary electric guitar commemorates a decade of his ongoing partnership with Schecter and the brain-warping playing that earned Nick this well-deserved milestone. Like its predecessors, this Traditional HSS is optimized for high-octane technical playability but distinguishes itself with an all-wenge neck and locking tuners and a tremolo system from Schecters Nouveau series of heavy-hitting, road-grade hardware. The Nick Johnston C neck profile is complemented by a 14-inch-radius ebony fretboard that hosts 22 jumbo frets, in hard-wearing stainless steel. With vault-grade sonic security and a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut to make sure the tremolo action is as smooth as can be, youll be amazed at the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary guitars ability to respond to any creative impulse you may have. After all, its been Nicks standby 6-string for 10 years!
Nicks music ranges from dark and brooding to explosive bouts of joy, with tones ranging from sweet and clean to ferocious, all within a single tune. His albums have featured guest contributions from guitar greats, the world over, and building a commemorative guitar that is as much a celebration of his playing diversity as it is that of his career invited a slew of upgrades, enhancements, and additions that all start with the tonewoods. The alder body returns, anchoring your sounds in a balanced and resounding full-bodied profile, offering plenty of reactivity that captures all the nuances of your fleet-fingered fretwork. For this 10th Anniversary iteration of the Traditional HSS, Nick and Schecter opted for an all-wenge neck, lauded for its ringing presence, natural sustain, focused basses, and brilliant trebles, complementing the slight midrange favoring of the alder body, with natural note-separating voicing. The ebony fretboard completes the tonewood triumvirate, imbuing your sound with virtually limitless sustain, bell-like transparency, and crystalline panache that punches with precision in every register. The wenge neck isnt the only page Schecters taken out of its US-built playbook, as this anniversary-edition axe is loaded not only with the wenge neck found on the American-made Nick Johnston models but also with a triad of Schecter USA signature Nick Johnston pickups. The lauded HSS configuration supplies nuclear-grade versatility, thanks to the Atomic single-coils and bridge-mounted humbucker, stacked with Alnico V and Alnico III magnets, respectively. While these pickups and the 5-way blade switch support worlds of tone-crafting potential, the Master Volume knobs push-pull coil split unlocks a prismatic dimension of sonic contouring.
To commemorate the well-deserved occasion of Nicks decade-long tenure with Schecter, the Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary received a hardware overhaul, opting to include the Schecter Nouveau tremolo system and locking tuners. And with this vault-grade sonic security, youre poised to deliver a plethora of polychromic pitch-bending pyrotechnics, as you traverse the 22 stainless steel frets that sprawl the fretboards 14-inch radius. With a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut to keep your sounds singing with buzz-free sustain, the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS 10th Anniversary is truly the all-encompassing performance package worthy of the time-tested tone shaping, aural innovations, and genre-transcending works of the signature artist who inspired the instrument.
