Schecter built the Nick Johnston Traditional H/S/S LH as a left-handed entry in its artist signature series, positioning the model for players who favoured a traditional H/S/S layout with modern playability refinements. The instrument carried Nick Johnston's name and was constructed with a bolt-on neck joint and an alder body finished in Atomic Green with a flat top contour.
The roasted maple neck carried an ebony fretboard with brass circle inlays, a 14-inch radius, and 22 X-Jumbo frets. The Thin 'C' profile measured .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth, with a 1.653-inch nut width accommodated by a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. A 2-way adjustable truss rod was accessible via a heel-mounted spoke wheel. The 25.5-inch scale Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge paired with Schecter locking tuners and chrome hardware throughout. Pickup configuration placed a Schecter Diamond '78 humbucker at the bridge alongside two Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil units at the middle and neck positions, controlled by a volume knob, a push-pull tone knob, and a 5-way switch. The guitar left the factory strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including tremolo saddles, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut blanks, or spoke-wheel truss rod tools — should verify dimensions against the specifications above; a qualified guitar technician can assist with setup and any hardware compatibility questions.
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.
