Is the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HH worth the price?

Yes, if you want a well-built signature guitar with stainless steel frets and versatile humbuckers. It competes with other import signature models in the $1,000–$1,300 range.

How does it compare to the SSS version?

The HH version has two humbuckers for a thicker, higher-output tone, while the SSS version uses single-coils for more traditional Strat-style sounds. The HH is better for rock and metal, the SSS for blues and cleaner tones.

What's included in the box?

The guitar comes with a Schecter gig bag, a truss rod wrench, and a certificate of authenticity. A tremolo arm is included if the bridge is a tremolo.

Is the neck profile comfortable for small hands?

The Nick Johnston C profile is medium-thin and generally comfortable for most players, but those with very small hands may prefer a thinner neck.

When does it go on sale?

Schecter guitars often see discounts during major sales events like Black Friday and Memorial Day. The current price of $1,199 at Sweetwater as of November 5 is near the high end, so waiting for a sale could save you money.

Our take on the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HH Atomic Mercury Electric Guitar

The Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HH is a signature solidbody electric guitar built for players who want humbucker punch with a fast, modern feel. It pairs an alder body with a wenge neck and ebony fingerboard, and comes loaded with Johnston's signature Atom-Bucker pickups. The 14-inch radius and jumbo stainless steel frets make bending and vibrato effortless. At $1,199 at Sweetwater as of November 5, it sits near the top of its recent price range, so it's not the cheapest time to buy.
