The Schecter Guitar Research Synyster Gates Standard Electric Guitar gives you the crushing tone and blistering technique of Avenged Sevenfold's Synyster Gates. Featuring a solid mahogany body and 3-piece mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods, this ax provides warm, full-bodied tone with singing sustain. The ebony fingerboard is equipped with 24 extra-jumbo frets and Synyster's signature Death Bat inlays for fluid shredding at breakneck speeds.

Schecter Diamond Syn Humbuckers: High-Output Pickups Built for Metal

Schecter Diamond Syn humbucking pickups, built to Synyster's custom shop specifications, deliver an ultra-hot output with articulate highs, tight lows and a growling midrange that cuts through a mix. Unleash crushing power chords, face-melting solos and everything in between with a roar that will rattle your audience.

Floyd Rose Hot Rod Special Bridge: Pitch Control for Dives and Squeals

The Floyd Rose Hot Rod Special bridge, designed specifically for Schecter, provides rock-solid tuning stability and smooth pitch control for dive bombs, squeals and flutters. Lock your ax into drop tunings and experiment with radical pitch shifts on the fly, all while maintaining tuning accuracy for crystal-clear chords and single-note runs.

Ultra-Thin Neck Profile and Compound Radius Fingerboard

A satin-finished mahogany neck with an ultra-thin profile and Schecter's exclusive C-shape provides comfortable playability at lightning-fast speeds. A compound 12"-16" radius ebony fingerboard features rolled edges for smooth fretting-hand motion across the neck. The Synyster Gates Standard plays fast and furious right out of the case, ready to unleash your metal chops.

Stage-Ready Style with a Rebellious Flair

A gloss black finish with silver pinstripes and chrome hardware gives the Synyster Gates Standard a sleek, custom look on stage. The iconic Schecter 'S' logo adorns the headstock, while Syn's 'Death Bat' inlay at the 12th fret marks this ax as a signature model built for metal's elite. On a quest for high-performance tone and feel? The Schecter Synyster Gates delivers in spades.
