Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Electric Guitar HSS Atomic Ink 1546

Pushing the Limits of Tone and Playability

Guitar virtuoso Nick Johnston's personal preferences directed the design of the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS, optimizing it for fast, technical playability. Equipped with a rock-solid roasted maple neck with Nick Johnston "C" neck profile, a 14-inch-radius maple fingerboard, and jumbo frets, this instrument is ideal for lightning-fast leads. And while its playability and response are sure to appeal to rock and metal players, its HSS pickup configuration with two Nick Johnston single-coil pickups yields a universe of tonal textures to explore. This killer axe also features a Diamond Vintage Tremolo for expressive bends and dives, and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut to make sure the tremolo action is as smooth as possible.
