Schecter built the Nick Johnston Traditional as a signature model for guitarist Nick Johnston, positioning it within the company's Traditional series as a specification-forward instrument oriented toward players who prioritized a vintage-influenced layout with modern refinements. It carried a bolt-on construction on an alder body, with a roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard.
The neck was cut to a Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, with a 14" (355mm) fretboard radius and 22 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" (648mm) scale. The nut was a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq unit at 1.653" (42mm) width, and the truss rod featured two-way adjustment via a heel-access spoke wheel. Brass circle inlays marked the ebony board. A Diamond Vintage Tremolo handled pitch variation, controlled through a Volume/Tone/5-Way Switch arrangement, while three Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single-coil pickups occupied all three positions. Schecter locking tuners and chrome hardware completed the specification. The instrument shipped with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010–.046). The Atomic Snow finish was the color variant on this record.
Owners seeking parts compatibility — particularly for the Diamond Vintage Tremolo, the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, or the locking tuner posts — should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can cross-reference the relevant specifications against currently available replacement 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.
