Looking for a classic vibe with modern, fire-breathing power? The Schecter Traditional HSS Nick Johnston Diamond Series is here to deliver! This guitar takes the familiar, comfortable Traditional body shape and injects it with everything Nick Johnston demands for his versatile style—from crystalline cleans to searing fusion leads.
Built for Speed and Tone
This beauty is a serious player's guitar, starting with the neck:
Roasted Hard Rock Maple Neck: Not just good-looking, the roasting process removes moisture, resulting in a neck that's incredibly stable and resonant. It feels fast and smooth right out of the box.
Thin "C" Neck Shape: Designed for speed and comfort, this profile allows for effortless movement up and down the neck.
Ebony or Maple Fingerboard: Depending on the finish, you get a premium fingerboard (often Ebony with the dark finishes like Atomic Green or Atomic Snow finishes, and Maple with the lighter colors like Atomic Coral), boasting a flat 14" radius and 22 Jumbo frets for choke-free bends.
Power Under the Hood: The HSS Setup
The HSS (Humbucker/Single-Single) setup is the secret sauce for versatility:
Custom-Voiced Schecter Diamond Pickups: Designed to Nick Johnston's exact specifications, these pickups give you massive tonal range.
Bridge: A hot Schecter Diamond '78 Humbucker delivers fat, powerful, and thick tones when you need aggressive rock or fusion gain.
Middle & Neck: Two Schecter Diamond Single Coils provide those signature bell-like cleans, glassy chime, and quacky funk tones.
Electronics: A standard 5-way switch combined with a master volume and a master tone knob lets you dial in any sound instantly. This setup truly is the Swiss Army knife of guitars!
Premium Reliability
The Schecter Diamond Series always brings the quality hardware:
Schecter Locking Tuners: Say goodbye to tuning instability. These make string changes lightning fast and keep you locked in tune, gig after gig.
Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL Nut: Reduces string friction in the nut slots, further improving tuning stability and enhancing sustain.
Schecter Vintage Tremolo: Allows for smooth, expressive vibrato without throwing your whole guitar out of whack.
If you need one guitar to cover every genre from rock to fusion, blues to pop, the Traditional HSS Nick Johnston is it! Watch the video for the full sound test and let us know your favorite setting!
