Schecter built the Nick Johnston USA Signature — catalogued under item number 7051 and finished in Atomic Snow — as a domestically produced instrument bearing the full Traditional designation within the Nick Johnston signature line. Its bolt-on construction and SSS pickup layout placed it firmly in the single-coil, vintage-influenced tier of Schecter's USA Custom Shop output.
The neck was machined from wenge with a contoured four-bolt joint and finished in a vintage satin treatment, shaped to a Custom C profile measuring .825" at the first fret and .865" at the twelfth. Macassar ebony formed the fretboard, carrying 22 Jescar Premium German Silver frets over a 14" radius, with silver ring inlays and silver side dot markers. The nut was a Graphtech Black Tusq unit cut to 1.67" width, and the truss rod adjusted via a spoke wheel. An alder body accepted a Schecter Vintage 2-Point Tremolo bridge in chrome, while Schecter/Hipshot Staggered Locking Tuners with a natural-finish headstock completed the hardware complement. The control layout consisted of a master volume and master tone paired with a 5-way slider switch governing the Nick Johnston Signature Atomic Set pickups in SSS configuration.
Owners requiring setup adjustments, fret work, or sourcing of replacement components such as the Graphtech Black Tusq nut or Jescar German Silver fretwire should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with vintage-specification bolt-on instruments.
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.
