The fact that he actually tours with the diamond series version speaks volumes.
@Compass_- There are lots of versions of his signature including US-made ones which are upwards of 2500 - 3200. I'm saying the fact that he chooses to tour with the much more affordable import model means its not just some cheap product they produced solely to make more money.
The guy could tour with a squier strat and still shred. Not like these âplayersâ with 15 guitars who only know how to play the same 8 riffs and have ALL the answers and knowledge.
Schecter coming out with some impressive guitars lately.
Just got this exact guitar. So inspiring to play. Definitely the best strat you will get at this price point.
Kiesel just came out with their Delos, some have 24 frets and top routes, stainless steel frets
Is it good for funky-stuff?
bluwng they seem to be more expensive which is why those features exist
@@bluwng Lol he said "at this price point" and you responded by comparing a guitar that costs like over 50% more than this...
@@niclastname exactly...
Iâve got one of these NJ Traditional import guitars and I absolutely love it. Out of the box it was great but I love modding stuff so I swapped the stock pickups for the USA Custom Shop versions and upgraded the pots to Bourns low friction for the volume. And a No-Load tone. I also added a treble bleed. As good as it was before it is now an absolute monster of a guitar.
progdude how are the stock pickups? I keep hearing theyâre shut but in all the demos I think they sound sick. Unfortunately nowhere near me carries this guitar and if I need to change the pickups then may e this guitar isnât for me
Ryan Flinn Ryan Flinn hey Ryan, the stock pickups are really not bad. I was fully expecting them to be pure trash but they really sound pretty decent as far as import stock pickups go. My only complaint is they seem to be a little compressed and donât âbloomâ quite as nicely as most popular USA vintage style singles do.
As far as the guitar goes I canât say enough good things about it. It. The neck, fretwork,build quality, finish and tuning stability is all awesome.
I have several audio only demos of the 2 sets on my channel. Not the greatest of quality but itâs more than enough to get the picture. Hope that helps!
There is a CZcams here comparing this axe with a squire, I know everyone has there right to opinion however, my 1st thoughts was are you kidding me đ
Schecter and Sweetwater are coming after me for all my money đ°đ
Felt in love with sound of Nick Johnston guitar!
Nick Johnston is a beast
Just got mine at Studio Gears in Temecula California.. Ordered the HSS too.. What a great instrument.. 6strung approved
I played on this once.. itâs super amazing! I am usually comfortable with ebony fretboards and itâs super amazing and the fact the truss is placed exactly where EBMM are.. amazing makes life easier.
I highly recommend listening to Nick's album Remarkably Human
funny enough, it looks and sounds better than almost any fender I've seen at this price point lol
The fenders at this price just needs sum upgrades, um not sure but I think the ebony board adds something to this guitar.
@@danielbarry5547 the roasted maple neck is beautiful and it has a 2 point system bridge with locking tuners which kinda makes it instantly better. I dont wanna have to do upgrades lol
@@obnoxious2909 um with you on that! đ
Passion, that guitar speaks volume let alone Nick's playing. And this price point are you kidding. HOME RUN!!! Buying a beautiful axe with upgrades intact already the xl nut, xl 22 frets, Locking tuners 2 point trem looks to be big block, alder body signatures pups and stunning colors pretty amazing if you ask me. This is my humble opinion thank you Nick and schecter for helping us poor musicians for being able to obtain a superior quality instrument. GOD BLESS..
I just saw the pink one online đ» đž
Bob Berryman đđđđwhere?
This guy is too cool. Gotta look into these guitars.
Schecter Guitars really knows how to build great Guitars . I have own a few Schecter Guitars in the past and I have not had any problems with them they are the best Guitars on Earth from lowe price to high price Schecter y'all are the best Guitar company in the world to me thanks & keep đ€ đž . Thanks TroyFrost / Troyster đ CoolRiffs đ Cool đž đ€đ€ đ€
Agreed! My brother and I both own a bunch of Schecters and they canât be beat for the money.
Dude I bought a solo ii standard second hand for 300 and it plays just as well as my musicman. Blows my mind every time I play it. Schecter is the shit!
I had never heard of Nick Johnson nor had I ever played a Schecter before I bought this guitar. It is awesome. Mines is flawless and feels as good as any strat I've played. The frets and fretboard edges are perfect. The pickups sound amazing. The neck is beautiful and feels absolutely amazing. I would put mine against anything fender makes as far as fit and finish and I've owned a lot of them. The only caveat is the neck shape and radius. I'm not picky and it feels very comfortable to me. It's not shredder thin. It feels a little thinner than a 60s Tribute Les Paul I own. And the fret board is pretty flat. These are obviously personal preference though.
If you're considering this guitar I would highly recommend it. It's is a high quality instrument and as good as anything you're going to find under 1500 dollars. And I'd argue the differences the Johnson and guitars costing 1500 plus are marginal.
Exactly my experience. The specs drew me to this guitar first, I thought "who the heck is Nick Johnston?" Now I'm a big fan. I bought the HSS and did end up with the Suhr mod but this is an inherent challenge of HSS guitars, not a fault of the Schecter. This guitar unexpectedly unseated my main player of 15 years. I bought it almost exactly one year ago, play it everyday, sometimes twice if I'm lucky. If you would have told me 10 years ago that not only would I buy a Schecter but it would be my main player, we may have had a real disagreement
@@electropentatonic what's a Suhr mod?
@@emdblues At the heart of the Suhr mod is the super switch. This switch is a 4 pole switch and allows circuits to be switched together but wired separately. This way you can run a 500k pot to the humbucker and keep the traditional 250k to the middle and neck single coils. There are many alternative wiring methods with resistors and dummy loads but they all fall short. Super switch is the only way to wire an HSS
I just retuned mine. It really was a beautiful guitar, of exceptional quality and matches or exceed my American Strat. The neck is really awesome too, the flatter radius and jumbo frets were very comfortable. I was not happy with the sound, the pickups were quiet and lacked the brilliance and organic tone of Fenders. I don't think changing the pickups would have helped as I noticed the difference in tone acoustically. If you are looking for a great quality guitar at a good price this is the way to go. If will be playing clean and love the traditional Stratocaster sound I would recommend playing before buying.
I hear Greg Howe influence, hint of Malmsteen and some Brett Garsed. 2:10 to 2:12 straight out of a Brett Garsed solo. How much does a guy like this get paid to do this demo?
Iâm sure not much. Heâs really just trying to promote the guitar rather than make money on the demo.
On that note, Nick Johnston is a very undervalued (and therefore underpaid Iâm sure đ) guitarist.
Definitely hear the Greg Howe!
Def Bret Garsed hear that right off the bat, gr8 players
I really enjoy your music. Often kick ass and beautiful at the same time. Great guitar!
Dorks who comment directly to the artist SUCK.
God, what a player, and what a sound...sold on the guitar!
Love mine, killer sounds and playability at an affordable price!!!!!
just ordered a Coral Pink
'Mine' is coming today @1:30 ish..
Okay time for an update... How awesome is it?
Mine has minor issues mostly buzzing and it had b string ping and movement at nut but itâs all perfect now
Nice start dude đ€đŸđ„
I have a feeling that Nick Johnson loves to say his name Nick Johnson a lot
Looks like Guthrie Govan and The Wizard of Gorgathon had a child.
Does the neck feels like charvel model or Jackson soloist guitar ? C flat ?
I want this so bad
Sweet axe, I have another diamond series strat thats heavy like 9.5 lbs. I'm old wonder how heavy these guitars are?
Incredible
I have no clue who you are. I play metal. But I actually want this guitar. Lol never even played a strat. You remind me of Michael akerfeldt from opeth though.
Dude looks like a Zappa/Guthrie hybrid.
Does the USA pickups sound more better or the difference is very small?What are your oppinions? I would buy one but i do not want to buy it and change the pickups after ... Here sounds fine but who knows, there are amps, effects ... I would like to hear it just clean ...
Bit worried that the radius won't suit my chord playing . Not used to a fretboard that flat!! But there is nowhere I can try one out
Is this specific demo done on a US model or Indonesian made ?
Indonesian
Which do you reckon is better this guitar or the deluxe roadhouse fender strat?
Is that the same Schecter in the current giveaway?
This or a Fender American Standard ( used ) guys as my only electric ?
Russ Bennett if you looking for some âmodernâ feel and tone, this guitar will suits on you, but if you want traditional stratocaster feel, fender is the only one choice
"See what happens"
Proceeds to play gold
does it take a 9 volt battery ? ive been wanting a schecter for a very long time , but i will not buy a guitar that uses a battery. sad really
Nope. Batteries are used in general for active pickups. This guitar dont need that
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?
Wired like a normal strat.
So how do you feel about this price point?
No, I want that one to the left
Nick's hands are insured for one million dollars - per finger. That's 30 million bucks!
Wow!!!!!! Send me one please!!!
I really wanted one of these, but people talking about a "thin" neck profile has put me off. Being lefty it's very unlikely I'll be able to try before I buy, any comments on the neck? Is it a shredder only guitar?
Hi, hugh. Those are great guitars and are definitely not just for shredding. The C neck is on the thinner side but is still rounded and has a very comfortable feel. If you've played any Fender guitars with their Modern C neck shape, I would say it's pretty similar to that.
Thanks for your interest!

Itâs not thin imo. Think of it like this I have the Schecter e1 sls elite. Said thin neck. Feels thicker and bigger than my tele. This guitar is slightly thicker so itâs like a thin but big shape if that makes sense lol
I agree with these guys. It's not shredder thin. I dont like those super thin shredder necks and I find the neck on the Johnson very comfortable. I'd say the radius of the fretboard is more noticeable.
Wouldnt the brass rings rust after years of playing?
Possibly but I have an 80s cort Flying V with brass inlays nut and bridge. None have rust or pitting
Authentic Fender!
@UC1kdsZUTDSW1BtsHEoYx4WQ
It's basically a copy of a Fender Stratocaster so you can certainly use it for everything from Jimmy Hendrix, to Eric Clapton, to Eddie Van Halen.
Just played 2 @ GC today the SSS and HSS they were both by far the best guitar for the price in the entire store, it played like a Shur but I the name Schector just messes with I dont know why tho. Im not a shredder.
Comment: I hate those guitar reviewers who keeps playing blues riffs and solos.
Nick Jonathan: Hold my bear
Aaand there you go my salary...
Dam this guy looked like Jared James Nichols.

Schecter George Custer Signature Guitar Demo.
Must resist......................................
1:13
You should play authentic Nick! This is clearly a strat with the name misspelled.
Nice guitar in all seriousness. Schector makes nice stuff.
Got mine today - setup was horrific.. Buzzing when open strings picked... When notes were fretted... Loose bridge saddle screw on the D string... The D string sounded like a sitar when picked. Straight out of box HORRIFIC. Very very shocked and disappointed. I'm a lefty so I guess this was why...
cant expect it to be perfect straight out of the box when it's shipped to you. Even a $3000 guitar not set up properly will sound bad.
@@gregonguitar8122 sorry but fundamental setup was never performed. Schecter apologised after the guitar was returned and inspected. Would an Xotic guitar arrive like this - no chance.
It looks allot like a surh
And Suhr looks a lot like a strat! I'm kidding, but yeah you're right, this is very similar to what Suhr offers in that S style range
Felix Blacksher
To be more specific. The headstock looks very similar to the ones on Shur guitars.
Felix Blacksher
I would buy this guitar just because of the roasted neck.
@@istvandejesus suhr looks a lot like Anderson Guitarworks and Kramer
I guess all that's left for this guy is to just start practicing and hope he figures out what he's doing on the fretboard. I guess they gave him a signature guitar in hopes that maybe just maybe he'll learn how to play it because He seems to be really lost..... I wish I could be that lost
sry but you can literally hear the cheapness seeping out of these.
The worst sounding guitar I own.
"Signature" models are nonsense... imho
Its basically saying, this guitar is made with specs that this guy likes.....do you like these specs too? then buy it. Nothing else really.
You basically just took a dump on every guitarist to play a Les Paul.
Too much mids
$2700! Kept the price down???? NOT! đ¶đž
Does anybody know what the string spacing is at the bridge?
50mm 52 or 54mm?
Hi, lasthehun. The string spacing at the bridge is 52mm.
Thanks for your interest!
