An Anniversary Edition Celebrating Ten Years of Virtuosity
This "10th Anniversary" edition pays tribute to a decade of collaboration between Schecter and Nick Johnston. It retains the DNA of the signature series while dressing it in exclusive "Atomic" finishes, including the stunning "Atomic Violet" hue showcased here.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists, this HSS effortlessly covers modern rock, fusion, prog, pop, indie, and blues. The 355 mm / 14" radius and jumbo stainless steel frets promote low action, smooth bends, and precise intonation across the 25.5" / 648 mm scale length.
The Sound
The alder body provides balance and projection, with singing mids. The wenge neck/ebony fingerboard duo adds attack, definition, and sustain. The two Subatomic single coils deliver crystalline cleans and snappy crunches, while the bridge humbucker offers tight and articulate drive. The push-pull splits the humbucker for additional single-coil textures. The Schecter Nouveau tremolo allows expressive vibrato while preserving tuning, complemented by the Graph Tech nut to reduce friction.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Protect the instrument with the Schecter SGR-UNIVERSAL GUITAR gig bag (optional). For strings, electric sets 9-42 or 10-46 with standard ball ends are perfectly suited to the 25.5" / 648 mm scale length.
