“The Silver Burst is synonymous with the band. We were talking about how cool it would be to continue that tradition”: Nick Johnston embraces his Mastodon turn with his most metal signature Schecter yet

Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HH.

Mastodon guitarist Nick Johnston has turned his once-traditional Schecter signature into a full-bore metal guitar as his first anniversary with the band fast approaches.

The Canadian maestro played his first shows with the Atlanta prog metallers last March, following the parting of ways with original guitarist Brent Hinds, and a one-show stint with Ben Eller.
