The Nick Johnston Traditional, with its roasted maple neck and wenge fingerboard, outshines many others in this price range—it certainly holds its own against its big brother from the Custom Shop! With an HSS pickup configuration featuring a split-able SCHECTER Diamond '78 humbucker at the bridge and SCHECTER Diamond Nick Johnston single-coils in the middle and at the neck, as well as a Diamond Vintage tremolo, the Nick Johnston Traditional HSS offers everything you’d expect from an S-style guitar—and then some.
