The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, the Nick Johnston Traditional combines an alder double-cut body with a 25.5-inch roasted maple bolt-on neck and 14-inch-radius ebony fingerboard. The HSS layout places Nick Johnston single-coils at neck and middle, with a ’78 Special humbucker at the bridge. A five-way selector and push-pull split on the tone control expand how those pickups are accessed. It is fitted with jumbo frets, locking tuners, a BlackTusq nut, and Schecter’s Diamond Vintage vibrato system.
