The Nick Johnston 10th Anniversary is a seriously well-built instrument. The wenge neck and ebony board combo is a joy to play, and the HSS pickup configuration gives you a wide range of tones, from glassy cleans to aggressive rock. This is a great choice for players who want a versatile, high-performance guitar without the extreme premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Nouveau is a more traditional, vintage-style tremolo; it's smoother and less prone to tuning instability than a Floyd Rose, but offers a more limited range of extreme dive-bombs.
The Nick Johnston C is a comfortable, medium-thin profile, wider than a D profile but not as chunky as a vintage C; it’s designed for fast playing and a secure grip.
These pickups are versatile, but they really shine with a clean amp platform allowing the Sub Atomic pickups to cut through and deliver a dynamic range of tones – think Fender Deluxe Reverb or similar.
