In collaboration with Schecter, guitar virtuoso Nick Johnson has designed a guitar worthy of his soulful and new-wave style. Boasting incredible stability through an immaculately constructed neck, crisp tone through a unique array of pickups and stunning custom visuals - this is one high spec guitar you'll want to get your hands on.
Nick Johnston is a world renowned guitarist, songwriter and solo artist. As of 2021, he has released six solo records, the most recent of which is his brand new album "Young Language". Over the years he's collaborated with notable artists such as Paul Gilbert, Marco Minnemann, Guthrie Govan, and Bryan Beller and has also played on songs by Periphery, Polyphia, David Maxim Micic, and Mike Dawes. As a session musician, he's toured extensively with acts including Plini and David Maxim Micic.
Johnston cites musical influences such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Jeff Beck, once saying "I sound nothing like those guys, but I’m massively influenced by them". Nick's first signature Schecter guitar was released in 2016, and there's since been variants of his signature guitar released, splitting them into the USA Signature Series and Traditional Series, offering both premium and more affordable options.
