The Schecter Guitar Research Nick Johnston Traditional is a modern player’s take on a classic S-style design, built for feel, versatility, and expressive tone. Designed in collaboration with acclaimed guitarist Nick Johnston, this model blends vintage inspiration with contemporary refinements that make it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in your practice space.
A comfortable roasted maple neck with a smooth satin finish delivers effortless playability, while the ergonomic body contours keep long sessions fatigue-free. The Schecter-designed pickups provide a wide tonal range — from glassy cleans and warm blues to articulate crunch — making this guitar a true workhorse for players who need one instrument to cover it all.
Premium hardware and thoughtful appointments, including a two-point tremolo and locking tuners, ensure rock-solid tuning stability and reliable performance gig after gig. Whether you’re chasing dynamic touch sensitivity or modern precision, the Nick Johnston Traditional offers inspiring tone and feel right out of the case.
Why we love it:
A boutique-style playing experience with pro-level features at a price that makes it one of the best values in a performance-ready S-style guitar.
If you’re looking for a versatile electric that feels broken-in from day one, the Nick Johnston Traditional is an easy pick.
