Schecter USA Nick Johnston Signature Traditional HSS – Aged Atomic Green Nitro (New Old Stock from 2022)
Precision-crafted in Schecter’s USA Custom Shop, the Nick Johnston Signature Traditional HSS in Aged Atomic Green Nitro is the embodiment of refined tone, playability, and modern performance. Designed in close collaboration with progressive guitar virtuoso Nick Johnston, this premium instrument blends classic aesthetics with cutting-edge features tailored for serious players.
At the heart of this guitar is a resonant alder body, delivering a balanced tonal foundation with pronounced mids and smooth highs. The 25.5″ scale wenge neck offers a slick, stable feel under the fingers, paired with a fast-playing ebony fretboard topped with 22 Jescar Premium German Silver frets—perfect for articulate phrasing and fluid lead work.
Under the hood, the Nick Johnston Signature Atomic single coils and Atom-Bucker provide a versatile tonal palette—from warm, dynamic cleans to aggressive, harmonically rich overdrive. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, these pickups deliver crystal-clear definition and responsive power.
Additional pro-grade features include a rock-solid Schecter USA 2-point tremolo for expressive pitch control, Hipshot locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability, and a Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut for enhanced sustain and precision.
Whether you’re exploring melodic intricacies or pushing the limits with high-gain tones, the Schecter USA Nick Johnston Traditional HSS delivers unmatched tone, feel, and reliability.
