New Lefty Signature Models for 2020

New Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional and Traditional HSS

With the success of the Nick Johnston Signature guitars in 2019, Schecter has come out with a new Diamond Series Nick Johnson Traditional model.

Featuring a Schecter Diamond ‘78 humbucker pickup in the bridge position, and push/pull pots for coil splitting, this new Nick Johnston Diamond Series guitar gives you all of traditional single coil sound options you’d ever want, with a heavier, beefier sound from that humbucker when you need it, making it a reasonably priced dream guitar for metal and progressive instrumental players.

Nick Johnston Signature HSS represent everything that Schecter is all about - new and innovative takes on classic designs that give players the most sonic options possible.
