SCHECTER NICK JOHNSTON DIAMOND SERIES TONE TEST

[@jann_rygh]

watching it for the 6th time....just wow....I know its not the Guitar, its you man....damn that tone and playing is just heaven ...

[@andydavid9]

Thanks dude. That means a lot! ❤️

[@rowecierras5171]

I held one and tested yesterday at GC. Now I can't stop thinking about this guitar. The neck is the smoothest I had ever played in my life. Volume pot is not in your way while playing. Just a simple, gorgeous guitar that is wanting to played every hour.☺️

[@brandongordon123]

I’m torn between this or the schecter van nuys. Leaning toward the van nuys cause of the coil tap what do you think?

[@sinisterj73]

@@brandongordon123 If I had to do it over again I would get the Van Nuys as it has USA pickups stock. The NJ pickups are really good, but not great and that is my only complaint, also the Jack fowler model has USA pickups and is just like this except in a HH config. But overall the NJ can't be beat for the money and it plays like butter, then just melts in your hands.

[@lenjits]

Very, very nice playing! Nice demo too! Looking forward to receive my Nick Johnston Diamond Series!

[@waycat100]

Andy, my man!! An awesome demo, technique and tone. I love Nick’s playing. You have, in my opinion, captured an amazing quality of your own. I’m glad I got to hear you. 👍

The range of tones is crazy! I need one!!

[@davidgrundy8792]

The riff at around 2:35 is just incredible...an amazing sound. Any chance you'd do a video sharing how to play it...can't figure it out and just obsessed! Awesome videos buddy. I have the NJ strat single coil...love it

[@andydavid9]

Thanks David! 🙏🏼 it’s just a progression I mess about with from time to time 🎸 I might add it to the list for future videos!

[@synysterXsteve]

It's in E major / C#m. If you follow the chord progression of C#m, A, E, B, you'll hear it.

Very nice playing and sound!

[@clevertrevor7360]

Hi, great playing. Do you feel the humbucker is a significant difference to the single coil ?

[@andydavid9]

Yeah dude, big difference. When soloing, the humbucker has way more kick to it. Almost like a little boost in overdrive. Very useful for dynamics I find! 🤘🏼

[@safaronf]

[@stonefateband3387]

@@andydavid9 yeah man! Just spotted the pink one so that’s on the maybe pile. Can I ask, what’s the build quality like on your NJ schecter? Seen a few complaints in the feel the switches and it feeling “cheap” for lack of a better word. Any thing that you’ve picked up on with yours? Cheers dude 🤘

[@andydavid9]

@@stonefateband3387 yeah man, my one complaint is the tuners. They don’t feel nice and smooth when tuning. Having said this, there’s no issue with tuning at all. I was worried about this as my strat is American and really nicely built. But I find myself grabbing the Schecter more than the strat 8/9 months on.

[@mattcrisp5548]

Good playing, and nice sound 👍🏻, is that a Marshall origin or code? Thanks

[@andydavid9]

Thanks man! It’s the Origin 50. Great amp

[@mattcrisp5548]

Cheers, sounds really good, does it work well at lower volumes having a master volume control? Must be able to get really loud also being 50w tube! I was looking at the Marshall origin 5 for low volumes but I think they get a lot of stick for having an 8” speaker,

[@andydavid9]

@@mattcrisp5548 yeah man, I use it all the time at low volume. I think I recorded this video with the master at like 2 or 3 (but one of the valves was on the way out so I was loosing a bit of power. 3 days after filming this they all needed replacing) so now it’s fixed it’s more powerful and I don’t need it at 3 no more haha. It’s a really simple amp and has a great tone to it. I’d say only get the 50 if you’ll actually use it for gigs so you can drive it more, you’ll be surprised at how good it’ll sound! Have you checked out the Supro Delta King. Small amp but sounds pretty good from what I’ve seen!

[@toadstkr]

Pretty sure this is my next guitar… how’s the fret ends and neck edges? Are they rolled nicely?

[@johnboy10]

Did you ever try the trem system on this guitar? Just wondering how well it stayed in tune.

[@andydavid9]

Hey man! I rarely use trems on my guitars. Just a wobble with my palm is kinda second nature for me. It holds its tune nicely for what I use it for!

[@freddymclain]

advanced noodling! can you play any songs?

[@metallihorsemen]

Amazing playing! Was wondering how does this Schecter compare to the Fender Strat shown in your other videos? Which one do you prefer?

[@andydavid9]

Hey man, great question! I actually tried to make this video about a comparison between the 2 but it sucked so I went with a quick tone test. There’s a reasonable difference between the two. The body on the Schecter is slightly thinner, and the curves are a lot harder. The body feels smaller too. The main difference is the neck, it’s pretty thin and the fretboard is flat, kinda like an Ibanez. I think the best difference is the volume pot being slightly out of the way. Feels like the right hand has more freedom. I’ll attempt a comparison video if you think that’d be helpful?

[@metallihorsemen]

@@andydavid9 that would be great as I’m thinking of getting the Schecter. Subscribed and looking forward to it!

@@lalrinfela6303 for what it’s worth, I had a fender Strat and I prefer the schecter by quite a bit. The neck and build quality feels better than the comparable min strat,plus it has locking tuners, an ebony fretboard and I typically like flatter radius fretboards.
