Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nick Johnston’s Traditional HSS combines a fast roasted-maple/ebony neck, HSS versatility, locking tuners, and a vintage-style tremolo in a signature-styled solidbody.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a Thin C roasted maple neck with a 14-inch ebony fretboard
- Guitarists who want neck and middle single-coil tones plus a bridge humbucker
- Technical players who prefer 22 extra-jumbo frets
- Players who use vintage-style tremolo effects
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require a left-handed instrument
- Buyers who need a case included
- Players seeking a guitar without a tremolo bridge
