Finished in striking Atomic Green, this model pairs timeless design with premium components to deliver exceptional tone and playability. Its alder body provides a resonant foundation, while the wenge neck and ebony fingerboard ensure smooth articulation across every note.

Whether you're recording or performing, the Nick Johnston 10th Anniversary Traditional is designed to inspire creativity with every chord and lead.
Wenge Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Precision Playing
This instrument's wenge neck, paired with an ebony fingerboard, provides a balanced blend of smooth playability and tonal responsiveness. The Nick Johnston C-shaped neck profile offers comfort across all playing styles, while the 22 jumbo stainless steel frets ensure effortless bending and sustain. With a 14" radius and a scale length of 25.5", this guitar is engineered for accuracy and speed, whether you're exploring intricate fingerstyle techniques or delivering soaring leads. The addition of metal ring inlays adds a subtle yet elegant visual touch, reflecting the guitar's attention to detail. Together, these features enhance playability and tonal depth, making every performance fluid and precise.
Schecter USA Sub Atomic Pickups for Dynamic Tone
The Nick Johnston Traditional features Schecter USA Sub Atomic pickups, delivering a wide array of tonal options for both rhythm and lead work. The HSS configuration includes a powerful humbucker at the bridge and two single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions. These pickups are designed for clarity, warmth, and articulation, capturing everything from crisp cleans to aggressive overdrive. The push-pull coil split function expands the tonal palette by transforming the bridge humbucker into a single-coil, allowing players to seamlessly switch between bold and nuanced sounds. Combined with the 5-way toggle switch, this setup ensures precise control over every sonic detail.

The Music City Bridge Three String Tree string retainer is designed to optimize string alignment and reduce friction, ensuring the guitar remains stable and responsive under heavy use. Together, these components create a highly durable and reliable platform for professional performance.
