NGD Schecter USA Nick Johnston

Post by OhFuxk »

I was never a fan of buying a signature model but man this strat is something else

The bolt on neck heel joint is probably the best heel joint I have ever played. Had it for a month now and still loving it.

Only if it is in Nitro then it will be the perfect guitar for me

I've had gas for one of these for ages, how does it compare to a Fender Strat???

It's a modern strat so it is unfair to compare with any vintage spec fender strat.

all the body contour all very comfy and as i said the heel joint is the best i have played - comparing with ibanez AZ, suhr and James Tyler. i think Tome Anderson has the best heel joint tho

They are all true single coils but the bridge PU is a bit flatter and higher output so not as harsh and more usable.

14 inch fret board so i can do legato run all day long :wave:

Always hated front jack input so the side jack input is perfect :) only one tone control is a plus for me but not for everyone.

I believe the body is a little bit smaller than a fender strat.

That's very cool. I like the dark board/neck, what wood is that?

I tried a Schecter strat a while ago in the shop and it felt like a really nice modern strat should.
Loving it so far

Some will argue there is not enough wood at the joint :-)
