QR Code Link to This Post
This is the precursor to the Nick Johnston Traditional HSS, made in Korea as opposed to the now made in Indonesia models.
This guitar was mainly available in Black and Candy Apple Red, with a very few being made in Alice Blue and Ice Blue Metallic.
The Ice Blue Metallic finish was used in many Schecter Hellcats from the same period but only a few of these Traditional HSS models received this finish. At that time, only the Traditional HSS models received the matching headstock.
Guitar is in excellent shape with very few signs of play wear visible.
It features Duncan Designed pickups, Grover tuners with Pearl buttons, 12” radius Rosewood fretboard and a Wilkinson Tremolo. Wiggle stick is present.
Come take a look at it and see if this guitar will make it into your line up.
