A little update, I bought this guitar about a month ago and its been an absolute dream to play. I wasn't overly thrilled with the iconic 4th position but I swapped the pots for traditional 250k's and ditched the resistor setup. This caused the bridge to suffer but my I'm way happier with the upper position sounds now. I'll order some parts and get it dialed in next time I swap strings. Thanks for the awesome review, not everyone has the luxury of grabbing these at a local shop and trying it out, especially with Covid. These videos really are a blessing
there is a mod you can do using 500k pots and a resistor where the single coil pickups will see 250k and the humbucker will get the full 500k. You can get a schematic online. hope that helps you dial it in.
@@GuitarZen83 I'm a little late but I ended up using the Suhr mod, which sounds close to what you're describing but with the addition of a super switch. This is my first hss and I'm convinced the Suhr mod is the ONLY way they should be wired, it's perfect.

I've been guitar shopping lately, super close to pulling the trigger. Every time I find a guitar I like I do a quick google for reviews and you pop up. Seriously, lol you must have great taste!
Wow!! There’s a lovely plaintiff cry from that guitar. Especially in your hands Jon. The Bridge looks really solid. It looks Really well crafted. Thanks for another great review Jon 😄👍❤️
Every Schecter I've played so far has been a Metal Monster, which feel great, but only seem to scream at you! That looks interesting, a Schecter you can do blues and classic rock on, and probably all sorts of other lovely styles too. That is interesting! I'm going to have to sweet talk my wife I think, perhaps tell her I'm only doing reviews and honestly I'll give it back LOL Another great review Jonathan thank you. I really don't envy your task as a reviewer one bit. having to give them back must be terribly difficult.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I did Jonathan- I couldn’t find the sales guy so I left- but ordered online for pickup tomorrow. I am thrilled for the hss and strat tone with that smooth neck feel! Bravo Schecter!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I did not-but after playing this for a day or so, I am tempted by the signature custom shops that NJ is putting out in a SSS. Have you had a chance to play any of those yet? Great playing style in here Jonathan! Love it!
Love your playing !!!❤️❤️👍👍🎸🎸 I just ordered one of these guitars. I am convinced. All the reviews are saying this is a fantastic guitar worth at least twice as much as the price.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud -/I did get it ordered, directly from Schecter -looking forward to this beautiful guitar. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making a video reviewing the guitar. I got the one that is atomic snow color with the mint green pick guard
There very nice guitars they have a classy edge to them and the headstock is very nice im not a fan of Schecter Guitars original headstock but seems there starting to use this pattern allot more good move.
That is sweet, I always had Schecter down as a Metal guitarists instrument manufacturer but over the last few years I have seen and heard instruments that are much more traditional and I like them a lot.
Just picked mine up this week (SSS Atomic Green). What a great instrument.. I had to order the HSS in Atomic Snow after getting the SSS model . . Thanks Don over at Studio Gears in Temecula.. Hit him up he's a dealer for Schecter with lots of stock at his shop ( online store ) Studio Gears out in Temecula California... Mention 6strung or Man Goo Goo to get a discount.. Call in grab yourself one of these fine instruments. You won't regret it.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud love your videos.. My boys also a G&L dealer.. It's nice to see you demo the guitars I love most.. Love that 🇺🇸Comanche and the 🇺🇸S500. Keep them videos coming. 🙏🤞👍🔥
I am torn between SSS and HSS version. Which one is better? I had SSS guitar in the past, but never like it because the bridge pickup was too bright and thin.
@@IrfanIbnuAziz I both had the sss and the hss variant. And at this moment my go to guitar is the HSS variant. The 78 humbucker sounds really fat, but really articulate. My most favorite guitar atm.
I’ve been in the market for a Stratocaster for a while now. I recently got a Schecter Reaper 6 FR-S (my 3rd electric) and the quality is so incredible in so many respects that I think I need to get this instead of a Fender.
Man you are a fantastic guitarist!. You should be called Smooth Koh. I wish I had a quarter of your skills. I live in Canada where we are currently having a raging snow storm in the province of Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island. So, I guess you ar e too far away for lessons! Glad I found your channel. God Bless!
As a lefty, there's a big limit on what I can get for configurations on a fender. I Just got a player series in blue with a maple board and I want to sell it for this. So many great features and it just looks amazing. I love it! I also really like your video format. Very quality. I've watched this 3 times just to stare at the guitar lol. Very great playing and awesome b roll at the beginning
@@avisaiko5354 I haven’t sold it yet! I want to get the schecter because it has way more features at $800 than the player at $700. This has a humbucker which makes it more more suited to what I play. It has an ebony fretboard and locking tuners too. It’s roasted maple and comes in a cool sea foam green. These are just things you don’t ever see left handed. My options are limited with fender and they stick to tradition anyway. I just like the modern features more.
That's cool, I have been looking at these for a while. It's a bit hard to find a Strat with just the 2 knob layout. I don't like the volume knob so close to the strings so this is a good option for me. I do wish the finish was a bit aged to tone that color down a bit.
Another fantastic video Jon! Would you recommend this over a Fender Player (MiM) Strat? Just a bit hesitate as I play a lot of chords (barre, 7th, etc) and this guitar has a very flat radius. Thanks in advance :)
I wouldn't worry about that too much. It's a 14 inch radius, so not extremely flat. Besides, the whole 'radius vs. chord playing' issue is vastly overestimated. Classical guitarists play on guitars with no radius whatsoever and they chord better than anyone!
@@genustinca5565 yep agreed. I ended up buying it and did find it too thin and flat for me though. I think a chunky 12 inch is the best for my taste from what it seems like
Jonathan what do you prefer between this and the Fender Player series? I’m looking at both but really want the Fender. Why do I want the Fender more? Because Eric Clapton, Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix played them. But I do prefer jumbo frets like on this Schecter and I know from experience (I have a Schecter C1) that Schecter just makes really quality stuff. Awesome slide playing, sir.
Hey Jon, thanks for the nice review… I'm really torn apart which Schecter to get this one in HSS or SSS variant.. I see you bought the SSS, I have another HH guitar, should I just go for the SSS ?
I has the Sun Valley with EMG's...great sound. My Fender Powerhouse stopped working so I need a strat style. This series looks amazing and modern! I hate the cheap Fender trems!
Which model do you recommend for an all rounder guitar? The hss or the sss? Fantastic playing as always! PS, would love to see more Schecter guitars here, especially the PT Specials
Jonathan got one myself Xmas Day love the video the guitar is really nice but I find the bridge pickup lacking a bit. The single coils are really nice and I suppose the humming is fairly natural in 4rth and 5th position. Love watching all the reviews
Jonathan nice video’s all that I’ve seen from you have been great. I’m a lefty and I’m in the market from an S type guitar, I know you like G and L , if you had a choice between this and a 2017 US built G and L Legacy what would you pick? Thanks, Kim
Hi Jon! I know this vid is a bit old and you've been testing a lots of guitars. How would you compare this indonesian schecter HSS to the sire S7 HSS from Larry Carlton? Thanks!
Hi Jonathan! First of all I want to thank you for all your great content. I really enjoy watching your video's! Half a year ago I watched a video of yours about the Harley Benton Fusion Pro II and I decided to buy one for myself. I've really enjoyed that guitar and because of it I'm playing as much as I am right now (I play the guitar daily, often hours at a time). Many hours of playtime later I've decided to step it up a notch and buy a different guitar. This beautiful Nick Johnston SSH cought my eye. What is your opinion on this upgrade and how do the necks compare ?(slim c vs modern c) Anyway, keep up the great work!
Some of the demos show a much darker neck but these seem to be rare for some reason. My one is something inbetween but still on the light side. Love it though!!
quick question, if you have a choice of this, or a Yamaha 612vfm, what would you choose, Mr Jonathan? rarely plays clean (unless on an acoustic set) slight overdrive but not reaching metal territory thank you for all reviews, appreciate it
Hello Mr.Jon I was thinking about changing the string tree on my Nick Johnson HSS to a roller string tree. Have you had any experience with this type of string tree?
Nice guitar jonathan . If there is only one guitar in your life , which one would you choose: brand new of this guitar, brand new fender player series , or used fender american highway one? As those guitars at the same price range in my country
Juan i am chosing between those 2. On the demos the Yamaha sounds better but the schecter looks better! I played the schecter at a guitar store and it feels amazing
Hello Jonathan...I wanted to ask ur opinion about choosing between this Schecter Nick Johnston and the yamaha pacifica 612, which u also reviewed not too long ago...thx for all the great content!!!
I bought the Nick Johnston.... Amazing...Love it.... Very comfortable and sounds great... Thanks for your review of it. It made the difference for me. All the best!!
Fantastically well played and you make it sound so good. But what about ebony in the fretboard, it cracks very easily but it may make up for it and does not affect the tone of the guitar. very nice guitar but is worried about the choice of ebony. At the same time, it is a very hard material, so it must be durable. But if it is of poorer quality and not dried as it should, it cracks and deforms the neck so it bends in some direction and the frets usually become sharp after a while when it has dried out. no problems with the fretboard so far?
Have you an Ebony fretboard that cracked before? Ebony is a Hardy wood.. but it will still need to be maintained and Oiled lightly especially in dry regions. This guitar was returned to the ship after the review.✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I was going to buy such a guitar in the store but it had a crack of 15 cm already in the store so I refrained from buying it. Then I read about several people who had to return the guitars after a short time when they cracked or were cracked already on arrival from the factory. But ok so if you oil the board carefully it counteracts cracks. Yes, it is a climate issue when it comes to ebony as it is a very sensitive material to moisture and drought. Yes I have an acoustic guitar that has cracked in the fretboard but I do not think it affects the tone anything but just a beauty flaw.
I wanted to ask you something, This NJ model or the one in your other Schecter Van N video is better. I like it better and I think the USA pickups are better, especially the simple ones, more powerful. I have the Nick J version in SSS but it lacks nosority and clarity pills. I like all your videos, Thank you.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud But there really is a big difference between the pickups of one model and the other, I think it is noticeable in the singles. Thanks.
Hey Jonathan thanks for the review...it's a sweet axe! I'm left handed and can't find that model anywhere though. Do you have a similar quality hss guitar you can recommend so I can see if they have a lefty version? Thanks!
overall jonathan how did you like the stock pickups ? I have a set of DiMarzio's in a box that I've slightly considered using instead of these. What was your overall take and did the humming in 4rth and 5th position bother you
Hello Sir,How is the playability ,Frets,nut,tuning stability,and pickups sound...in your experience compare to Fender Stratocaster MIM? Thank you,I always enjoy your content :)
A little update, I bought this guitar about a month ago and its been an absolute dream to play. I wasn't overly thrilled with the iconic 4th position but I swapped the pots for traditional 250k's and ditched the resistor setup. This caused the bridge to suffer but my I'm way happier with the upper position sounds now. I'll order some parts and get it dialed in next time I swap strings. Thanks for the awesome review, not everyone has the luxury of grabbing these at a local shop and trying it out, especially with Covid. These videos really are a blessing
Glad you enjoyed it ✌️❤️

I'm addicted to your videos! How do you think this compares to the Jack Fowler Traditional?
Thank you.. almost the same guitar but with different pickups
I would probably buy it at some point, but I can't afford a guitar without stainless steel frets...
✌❤
Even with an ebony fingerboard? Really?
wow, you must be a legend
My 2004 epiphone les Paul has seen thousands of hours of play and the frets, though starting to show wear, still play perfectly fine.
IMO, nickel sounds better than SS frets. SS frets sounds too metalic.
nice guitar I saw this guitar on Sweetwater they got new one is maple fretboard and they're weight from 3.45kg to 3.6kg
Nice.. they also came out with a tele shaped body too✌️❤️
On starting to forget the name Fender with these Schecters around wow

But ok so if you oil the board carefully it counteracts cracks. Yes, it is a climate issue when it comes to ebony as it is a very sensitive material to moisture and drought. Yes I have an acoustic guitar that has cracked in the fretboard but I do not think it affects the tone anything but just a beauty flaw.
There you go… any fretboard will crack if it’s not maintained properly
Jonathan, do you like the HSS or the SSS more? Is the humbucker on this good? As in, we'll matched to the SS, and not muddy?
For sound.. I prefer the HSS but for looks.. the orange SSS is really nice✌️❤️
Very nice review and playing as always! Is it around 3,6 Kg?
About there ✌️❤️
I wanted to ask you something, This NJ model or the one in your other Schecter Van N video is better. I like it better and I think the USA pickups are better, especially the simple ones, more powerful. I have the Nick J version in SSS but it lacks nosority and clarity pills. I like all your videos, Thank you.
You are somewhat correct in your observation.. if you like the playability of the NJ you can always change the pickups like I did. ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud But there really is a big difference between the pickups of one model and the other, I think it is noticeable in the singles. Thanks.
Hey Jonathan thanks for the review...it's a sweet axe! I'm left handed and can't find that model anywhere though. Do you have a similar quality hss guitar you can recommend so I can see if they have a lefty version? Thanks!
Check the other websites✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud will do, thx!
overall jonathan how did you like the stock pickups ? I have a set of DiMarzio's in a box that I've slightly considered using instead of these. What was your overall take and did the humming in 4rth and 5th position bother you
I find the pickups are really nice!! ✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud that’s a wonderful thing to hear and of course you make them sound freaking amazing
So how does this compare to the Yamaha Pacifica 611 or the 612 you reviewed before.
This is better ✌️❤️
Sweet demo! I'm torn between this or the sss model. Which would you recommend?
The SSS✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you sir!
Would you rather have this guitar or the Schecter Van Nuys?
For me.. the Nj✌️❤️
Schecter NJ or PRS SE Custom 24 jonn ?? 🤔
Your choice brother
What do you think is better: schecter nick johnston or cort g300 pro?
schecter!✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks!)))
Hi Mr Jo, what do you feel with the guitar on the back? PRS or Schecter?
Thats a PRS...czcams.com/video/eC-eW4kuffI/video.html
Hy! How would you describe the differences between the maple and the ebony versions?
They play the same for me…✌️❤️
hey jonathan would u pick this schecter over something like a japanese fender or ibanez az? im having a hared time deciding
Yes I would...✌💚
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you so much for replying i guess i really gotta try getting this than haha
Would you get this or the light blue one? I can't decide
The light blue one✌️❤️
Hello Sir,How is the playability ,Frets,nut,tuning stability,and pickups sound...in your experience compare to Fender Stratocaster MIM? Thank you,I always enjoy your content :)
Btw the headstock on the schecter it’s similar with Tom Anderson Guitarworks 😄
It's good..i really liked it!!✌🤓
Hi Jonathan,
would you recommend this over FENDER american performer HSS?? (mones is no object there)
Is that coil split good enough??
Thanks!
Yes I would recommend this.. and yes the S/C is good enough ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks a lot.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud are there any specific reasons?
Schecter is making the best guitars at the best prices.
Yes they are!✌️❤️
