I think you are the perfect guitar player. Im almost out of beginner stage and into low intermediate. Initially i learned open chords and strumming and now im doing a solo course. Ive learned all the scale patterns and improvise everyday to tracks. Everytime i hear you play, you embody everything i want to be one day as a guitarist. You sound amazing. I love your timing and style
Loving this channel. I always come back to ere tr music, but the information has been superb in narrowing down guitar choice. This is especially important fr those (like me) with limited budget. Thanks sir!
Have this one and I installed Duncan JB Jr in the bridge, Duckbuckers in the middle and a Little 59 in the neck and added coil splitting and it is now an absolute beast. 100% my most versatile guitar I have now.
Got one at sweetwater today with 150 bonus bucks I had from a previous purchase. Cannot wait to rock out with this guitar. Your review sealed the deal on my decision 👌 got mine in black
That I can get behind, it has the aesthetic of a boutique custom but the price is just right to get that quality as high as they could without breaking $1000 I’m sure.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I'm planning on buying the SSS model, but have a doubt. When two single coils are active together, what is the wiring? Is is in series(wit Reverse Wiring Reverse Polarity) and does it cancel the single coil hum?
Me either.the pinky on my fretting hand is double jointed.i do use it but it also has the possibility of locking in a weird position sometimes.so I've learned to play mostly without it.except for on some accompaniment with bends.
Official Letterman channel is using that backing track now in clips to cover licensed music they would have had on air at the time, you made it cool Jon!
I ordered one. Pink coral color, 3 single coils and ebony fretboard. It was either this or a Fender Strat. I believe this Schecter is a better value. When it arrives I will let you know if its ready to play right out of the box..Good review. Thanks
I put a Carvin kit together that I realized after the fact was very Nick Johnston inspired. It is just an oil finished ash body, perloid white pick guard, white single coil pickups, maple neck with an ebony fingerboard and matching ebony headstock, no inlays, and metal boutique looking knobs instead of the traditional numbered bell style ones like this. No trem though is the only difference I feel but, it looks clean AF just like this guitar and really any in his line.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud also the playing is really great. I find myself doing home projects and just listening to you jammin over my Bluetooth speaker. Very podcast like but your playing absolutely keeps me coming back.
THANK YOU for such a wonderful video! I discovered this guitar while trying to find something that sounds like a Strat that doesn't have the VOLUME KNOB in the way of my hand. Drives me CRAZY! Luckily, I live 10 minutes from Sweetwater...so...time to go play one! :)
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I actually DID buy this guitar in the CORAL color. I swapped out the pups with American Vintage Noiseless, but those sounded really weak and compressed. So, now I have a set of Yosemite pups in it which I love. Anyway, the guitar feels and plays AMAZINGLY well and I LOVE IT! :)
I always thought Schecter were metal/shredder guitar makers but in the last year or so I have seen some wicked instruments from them, I am shocked how much quality you get for the money, I have to get one at some point!
Schecter started off as a premium parts maker, making mostly Fender replacement parts back in 70s early 80s. Mark Knopfler and Pete Townshend played guitars built from Schecter parts.
I bought the h/s/s in Atomic Frost 2 weeks ago. I play it more than my more expensive EVH guitars. I'm thinking not to hard on getting the Atomic Coral s/s/s. I think this video convinced me to do so. Thanks Jonathan for the awesome video.
Shecter makes good guitars. On this one, the neck adjustment is very convenient, in my opinion. I had a guitar for a long time, in the 80s, Jolana Special, also the regulation was located. 🎶👏👏👏🎸👍👍👍🤝👋
Jonathan, great as usual! The Schecter HSS or the MiM Strat HSS? I'm going to try a MiM HSS in buttercream, it looks so nice, but unfortunately no one stocks the Schecters to try. Would have to be a blind buy online. The MiM Strat HSS costs 580 euros here, seems a ludicrously good price
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you Jonathan. No rush on my buy so will make the decision calmly. There's an Italian luthier called Gianand too that Phil McKnight talked up. They do custom basically in any Gibson or Fender type model at very good prices and they seem like total beasts of guitars. Maybe I save a little longer and get one of those! Let's see. Not on my radar but the Schecter Solo II Custom looks outstanding by the way, more Les Paul style, but the HBs can split too, so a lot of tones. Thanks again and rock on

When I close my eyes and listen I hear almost a Tele vibe. Would you say that the roasted neck imparts a tonefull crispness that is a little different from standard S-type tone ? Wonderful playing too, it's a treat to watch you play !
Hi as you have played both Yamaha Pacifica 611 and schecter nick Johnston which one would you recommend for people with small hands, long story short I would like to know which one has smaller fret radius and which one has a fatter one. I hope it made sense sorry for any typographical error’s looking forward for your reply.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud the version in atomic orange with the roasted maple neck was a special run in Europe - exclusively sold by GuitarGuitar in UK (I live in Germany). This version is just available with SSS configuration... As I really wanted that color + the roasted maple neck, I decided to order that color with the neck I like from the UK. I already ordered the correct replacement HSS pickguard from Schecter. Unfortunately this will arrive mid of January. The Bare Knuckle Holydiver is already here so I guess I have to be patient now (-:
I played that one, also they have one with a humbucker.. both cool, but i own too many humbucker guitars. So when i played this one, omg!!! I would have bought it, but I’m waiting. I think the colors will get better. I love this color, and it’s up my alley, just want more strange. I will say , every guitar is very different. The humbucker one felt great and sounds amazing, i like the single coil one better. But also it can change from guitar to guitar. Small differences that will make a choice.
Its easy to miss out on the specs with these Atomic Ink & Atomic orange with maple fretboards actually has Vintage C necks.. having tried both types what do you think of the feel between the two? Is there a big sound difference between the two?.. and also great playing as always!
£799 here in the UK (Andertons) for a Nick Johnston Traditional one in Atomic Orange too. The difference, perhaps an important one too, is that instead of a single coil at the bridge, it has a humbucker. Man, it's a pity I didn't know you when I was living in Malaysia. I would surely have paid you a visit :)
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I left Malaysia in September 2017 after having lived there for almost 10 years. From Johor, Singapore is just down the road. I used to come there often, but had my home in Miri, Sarawak.
Hi Johnston! Great review as always. Simce you tried out, both, the Nick Johnston Traditional HSS and SSS, which one was your favourite and how do they compare? Also, is the neck and fretboard ovenpore or does it have lacquer on it? Thank you
Can we hear a comparison against your favorite Fender Strat, and/or G&L? Maybe also even with a Harley Benton or Sire if you have HSS from either brand?
This is an awesome review...really interested in this guitar. In the demo part of the video, it says that the guitar has 5 way and tone push/pull...what does the tone knob push/pull do?...thank you again
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ohhh okk got it...thank you so much for responding. You and your channel. Both amazing 🔥🔥. Please try and make a video on the Sire S7 guitar. Thank you
I absolutely dig your picking brother! You seriously make that NJ Traditional do some sweet talking. The orange does look good on that guitar. It goes well with the roasted maple neck and fretboard. Later Jonathan!
Another great guitar for your collection Jonathan, Schecter know how to make some great guitars, this one is going to a good home, and will be played to perfection.
You looked like you had a lot of fun playing that Jon. The sound is immaculate. It wouldn’t be my colour but I can see it’s really well made. For some reason I’ve always thought Shecter’s were more for Metal. Who knew 😀. Cheers 👍👍
Ha Jonathan, another great review. A short while ago you reviewed the HSS version of this guitar. Would you recommend one or the other or both. Thanks,
Just ordered one of these because of your vids. Probably going to replace the trem with the same one you used. The tuners that you swapped had a minor fit issue - any upgraded tuners that might fit better that you know of? Thanks!
Hey Brian.. great choice!! There are present other staggered locking tuners from Gotoh and other brands… just check to see that they fit the headstock.✌️❤️
Are the pickups relatively quiet or are you using something to make them quiet? It’s a shame they dont offer the Orange version with the HSS configuration. You wouldn’t know what kind of pickup routing they used? If it’s not the individual single coil style, I’m buying one and adding a hum bucker.
Where in SG do you get these guitars? I was at the Peninsula just last week and none of the guitar stores there carries Schecter. I was, particularly, looking for their Van Nuys traditional model.
Can u please elaborate why you choose nick Johnston diamond over Van nuys because Van nuys has US made pickups while nick Johnston diamond has diamond series pickups which to my knowledge are not made in the USA
I'm planning on buying the SSS model, but have a doubt. When two single coils are active together, what is the wiring? Is is in series(wit Reverse Wiring Reverse Polarity) and does it cancel the single coil hum?
Dear Jon; Hey there, just wondering about action at 12th fret on this guitar...Assuming relief of oh, .006", wondering where your low E sits in relation to action at 12th fret. Wanting to make sure this guitar can play well with little fret buzz. THANK YOU!!
Hi Jon! I am on stuck on choosing the hss or the sss version of this guitar. I have seen both the videos you made about the schecter nick johnstons. Since you bought the sss version I am assuming you felt it was the better guitar?
Great sounding guitar, and a better buy than a Fender Strat, if only they made them in a better range of colours, the ones available in the UK are not a colour that i would buy. Still proves that Schecter can make very high quality guitars at sensible prices.
The white and black are the only two colors I could live with. I bought an orange one, but sold it because it was just too electric (like a safety vest) in color. I love these guitars, but wish they would offer more colors. I will keep rocking my American pro ii for now, but for half the money, the Schecter is a killer guitar.
Great review and playing indeed! I tried this guitar in a store a few days ago: sounds very good, very comfortable, light and easy to play, stock pickups are great...except for the tremolo, It felt very cheap and the bar was a bit loose. What's your specific opinion about the bridge/tremolo section?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud @Jonathan Koh yes thanks, the VegaTrem seems to be the best solution for this guitar. Maybe just a little more expensive than, let's say, the classic Gotoh 510, but I think it's worth the price
Great timing Jon! Thought about getting one after watching your video on the HSS version just a few days back. I am hesitant as you can get such high quality guitars now for under $500 and even less, would this be worth the extra hundreds over something like a Harley Benton Fusion?
WOW....JK doing some shredding....awesomeness!!!...I’ve been looking at that guitar but the HSS one....probably gonna pull the trigger on that real soon!!!!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Now that is interesting as the NJ strat is only 799 Uk but HB fusion pro is 355 ? So is the NJ twice the guitar or could you spend 150-200 to get the same result ? 😎 Also how does it compare to the Sire ?
I watch your videos for the music. We don't have to buy the guitar even if we like your solos. Have we? BTW: is that a real bass I can hear? Do you play bass guitar?
I think you are the perfect guitar player. Im almost out of beginner stage and into low intermediate. Initially i learned open chords and strumming and now im doing a solo course. Ive learned all the scale patterns and improvise everyday to tracks. Everytime i hear you play, you embody everything i want to be one day as a guitarist. You sound amazing.

I think it is better by far than this one. In term of sound. Price wise, not really in the same range foe sure.

Great sounding guitar, and a better buy than a Fender Strat, if only they made them in a better range of colours, the ones available in the UK are not a colour that i would buy.
Still proves that Schecter can make very high quality guitars at sensible prices.
Aye Allan.. that’s so true✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Just found one in Atomic "Coral" ie Pink !
I have a Pink Ibanez Jem, but i don't think it will look good on the Nick Johnston.
The white and black are the only two colors I could live with. I bought an orange one, but sold it because it was just too electric (like a safety vest) in color.
I love these guitars, but wish they would offer more colors. I will keep rocking my American pro ii for now, but for half the money, the Schecter is a killer guitar.
Hi Jonathan, great playing, as usual !!! What about the tremolo system? It stays in tune even when heavily used? Thanks.
Yes it does.. I will probably do some more setup like lubing the nut..✌️❤️
What's your opinion...sss or the hss version? Thanks!
SSH..✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you so much!!!!!
Would you recommend buying this guitar or Fender Strat in this price range? Great videos!!
It depends...✌♥
Hi. Your reviews are amazing !! How do you compare this to the G&L Fullerton deluxe legacy ? Built quality and tone ?
Very comparable.. and more affordable ✌️❤️
Great review and playing indeed! I tried this guitar in a store a few days ago: sounds very good, very comfortable, light and easy to play, stock pickups are great...except for the tremolo, It felt very cheap and the bar was a bit loose. What's your specific opinion about the bridge/tremolo section?
Yes I had a similar problem with the trem.. check out this video to see what I did

@Jonathan Koh yes thanks, the VegaTrem seems to be the best solution for this guitar. Maybe just a little more expensive than, let's say, the classic Gotoh 510, but I think it's worth the price
@@cicciocicci2307 it is brother❤️
A lovely looking Guitar Jonathan, I`m sure if you nailed some curtain wire on a piece of floorboard, you would make it sing 👍
lol....wouldn't work..✌❤
Do you think this guitar for about 550$ and a set of fender vintage noiseless would be a Fender MIA killer?
I would think so!✌💙
Hi,
The axe was made in Indonesia, I know well? worse compared to those made in Korea?
Thanks
This guitar is well made..like i stated in the video
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ok! really great and useful vid anyway, thx!
This is the signature model, right? Not the cheaper commercial version?
nope..this is not the USA custom shop version✌💚
i’m stuck between this guitar and the fender deluxe roadhouse..
Have you made the decision yet?✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I haven’t 🥲, I’m going to try them out at a guitar shop and see which one feels better in my hands.
@@isabelle-jg5il Good..try them out and then decide :)
i cant decide between this guitar and the g&l asat semi hollow with that two binding you reviews several month ago.
your reviews are too good.
i went to the store and played both. this one is the most start i ever heard. but the g&l is stunning.
Which one did you choose??
@@JonIsJustTooLoud nothing. i went bacck home seeing videos again :). the g&l way more beautiful to me. but this sound is a killer.
Where did u get one in that colour
Watch the review...Davis Guitar Singapore✌❤
Great timing Jon! Thought about getting one after watching your video on the HSS version just a few days back. I am hesitant as you can get such high quality guitars now for under $500 and even less, would this be worth the extra hundreds over something like a Harley Benton Fusion?
Yes.. this is a better made guitar.. and that explains the price point✌️❤️
WOW!!!
Hi sweetie!! How are you doing?✌️❤️
WOW....JK doing some shredding....awesomeness!!!...I’ve been looking at that guitar but the HSS one....probably gonna pull the trigger on that real soon!!!!
oh yes that SSH is about the same...🤓
Did you mention price at all , and maybe i missed it but ,? How much again ?
Yes I did....799 pounds approx
How does it compare with the HB fusion pro ?
Different league Chris✌💙
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Is it that much better than the Harley Benton Fusion Pro? Thinking about getting one. Thanks Jon!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud
Now that is interesting as the NJ strat is only 799 Uk but HB fusion pro is 355 ?
So is the NJ twice the guitar or could you spend 150-200 to get the same result ? 😎
Also how does it compare to the Sire ?
This two different fretboards, roast maple and ebony, are those effect sound big or small?
its more about the feel of the fret board...but Rosewood fretboard tends to be warmer than Maple✌♥

It's very handsome.
Yes it is✌️❤️
Atomic green?
nope..atomic orange...did i say green?✌💚
oh no I did!!! lol
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Believe me, I know how it is. The older I get, the more I foul up things I’m trying to say. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
I watch your videos for the music. We don't have to buy the guitar even if we like your solos. Have we?
BTW: is that a real bass I can hear? Do you play bass guitar?
Its a backing track....and yes I do play bass. And no...you dont have to buy them guitars! lol✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Cool! Waiting for the next vid with you trying a bass,.. let's say from Germany ;-)
Thx for your answer.
