You have excellent taste!!! Congrats!!!

Good choice, IMO.

I've played several of the Nick Johnston models and I like them. I hope you like gigantic frets, they will be pretty big. Thats the thing I remember most, big frets with easy bends.

On the downside, a few of them had switching or volume/tone pot issues

And I clicked them in order…

#1 - Gay

#2 Gay

#3 Gay again

So that leaves Number 4! Which was also Gay.

I’d keep looking.

Why?

I never heard of Jet guitars.

Just looking at the guitars, and not knowing anything about them, I like the Charvel.

What kind of music will you be playing with it?

The Schecter ist a generally great guitar. I think Schecter, resp. Nick Johnston fixed everything that is suboptimal on a regular Strat: Input jack, volume knob, trussrod access, PU cavity, tuners …

On the downside, when I got mine I expected a bit less weight, it is slightly heavier than my American Standard and I did not bond very well with the Diamond 78 Humbucker, Either I have to take the cover off or I will put in an Angel Dust.

I mean, you can do way worse for pickups than the MCP Angel Dust.

For $1000, you can get a mij fujigen ibanez rg550. It will be perfect. It has one of the best double locking trems available. Same one vai and satch used for three decades.

If you insist in a strat style trem, i would get the charvel.

That said, I’m never buying another mexican fender without playing first. My vintera jaguar had issues out the ass. Fret problems. Tuner issues. Pickup installation issues. Bridge issues. Etc.
