Schecter built the Nick Johnston Traditional as a signature instrument for the Canadian guitarist, positioning it within the company's artist series as a traditionally-styled electric guitar with a bolt-on construction and a flat-top alder body. The model carried the item number 274 and was offered in Atomic Coral with chrome hardware.
The neck is roasted maple with a Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, and it is capped with an ebony fretboard bearing brass circle inlays. The 25.5" (648mm) scale length accommodates 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" (355mm) radius board. At the nut, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit measures 1.653" (42mm) wide. The truss rod is a two-way adjustable design with heel-access spoke wheel. A Diamond Vintage Tremolo bridge pairs with three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups — one at the bridge, one in the middle position, and one at the neck — controlled via a Volume control, a Tone control, and a 5-way selector switch with vintage-style knobs. Schecter locking tuners are fitted from the factory, and the instrument ships strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings. A case is sold separately.
Owners requiring setup adjustments, tremolo calibration, or replacement parts such as a compatible single-coil pickup or Graph Tech Tusq nut should consult a qualified guitar technician for guidance on sourcing and fitting correct components.
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.
