With its Signature series dedicated to Nick Johnston, the brand has found a fantastic platform for the Canadian guitarist’s style, renowned for its melodic, precise and highly expressive playing. This Traditional HSS in Atomic Ink finish is a superb example of that philosophy.Visually, this Schecter captures the spirit of the great Stratocaster-style guitars while giving it a genuine personality of its own. The Atomic Ink finish gives the instrument a particularly elegant and modern appearance, while the roasted maple neck and fingerboard add a premium feel, both visually and under the fingers. Combined with the 14-inch radius and X-Jumbo frets, the Thin C neck profile offers an exceptionally comfortable playing experience and makes everything from precise rhythm work to bends, legato and more technical playing feel effortless.Of course, it is in the tonal department that this Nick Johnston really shows its versatility. Its HSS configuration is exceptionally flexible, with two Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coils delivering clear, dynamic and highly expressive tones, equally at home with crystalline cleans and the slightly pushed sounds that are so characteristic of Nick Johnston’s playing. The Diamond ’78 humbucker at the bridge adds a serious dose of power and density, with enough bite and output to handle rock and more modern styles with ease. The push-pull coil-split function further expands the tonal range and makes this guitar remarkably versatile.The combination of a vintage-style tremolo with locking tuners is also a particularly smart choice. It retains the feel and smooth response of a traditional tremolo while offering improved tuning stability, making the guitar extremely enjoyable for everyday playing.Ultimately, this Nick Johnston Traditional HSS succeeds perfectly in its mission: preserving the DNA and ergonomics of a great classic while offering a more modern, precise and significantly more versatile approach. It will appeal equally to players looking for an outstanding all-round guitar and to those particularly drawn to Nick Johnston’s musical universe. A superb Schecter, combining elegance, comfort, expressiveness and formidable efficiency, with the Atomic Ink finish adding an unmistakable personality of its own.
