Schecter built the Nick Johnston Traditional H/S/S as a signature instrument for the guitarist Nick Johnston, positioning it within the Traditional series as a bolt-on, flat-top design strung for right-handed players. Manufactured in Indonesia, the guitar carried the item number 1541 and was finished in Atomic Snow with chrome hardware throughout.
The alder body paired with a roasted maple neck, joined via bolt-on construction, and topped with an ebony fretboard. The neck followed a Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, across a 14" (355mm) radius. Twenty-two X-Jumbo frets were set into the board, with brass circle inlays marking position. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" (42mm) wide fed into Schecter locking tuners, while a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel handled neck relief. The 25.5" (648mm) scale Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge anchored Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010–.046). The H/S/S pickup configuration comprised a Schecter Diamond '78 humbucker at the bridge and Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups at the middle and neck positions, controlled by a volume knob, a push-pull tone knob, and a 5-way switch, all dressed with vintage-style knobs.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or tremolo calibration should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with vintage-style tremolo systems and spoke-wheel truss rod access.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
