Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an HSS layout, the Nick Johnston Traditional HSS puts two single-coils at the neck and middle alongside a bridge humbucker. The five-way selector and coil-split control give you several pickup voices from one guitar, while the vintage-style tremolo adds pitch movement. Its roasted maple Thin C neck, ebony fingerboard, 14-inch radius, and 22 extra-jumbo frets place the emphasis on a fast, precise playing surface. The Atomic Frost green finish is paired with a mint green pickguard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between single-coil and bridge-humbucker sounds with the five-way selector during a set.

- Players wanting a right-handed six-string with a Thin C roasted maple neck.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
