Description
Avenged Sevenfold shredder Synyster Gates has been flying the flag for Schecter for well over two decades, with his signature Avenger models firmly cemented as a core part of his live and studio rig.
The Schecter Synyster Gates Standard Plus takes that proven formula and cranks it up a notch. Finished in a seriously eye‑catching transparent top, it’s got the looks and the substance, thanks to a rock‑solid multi‑piece Mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fibre rods for added stability. Throw in a Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod locking trem and a pair of blisteringly-hot Synyster Gates humbuckers, and you’ve got a no‑nonsense metal machine that’s built for supercharged riffs and solos night after night.Key Features
Mahogany body with forearm comfort contour: Delivers a thick, punchy midrange that’s perfect for high‑gain riffing, while the forearm contour keeps things comfortable during long rehearsals or marathon gigs.
3‑piece Mahogany neck with carbon fibre reinforcement rods: Built to be rock solid, this neck resists warping and movement, so it stays stable no matter how hard you play or how wild the temperature changes get on the road.
Ultra‑Thin “C” neck profile: Fast, slick and effortless under the fingers — ideal for blistering lead runs, wide stretches and technical playing without hand fatigue.
24 jumbo frets: Gives you easy access to the full two‑octave range with plenty of room for big bends and confident vibrato, making lead playing feel smooth and precise all the way up the neck.
Synyster Gates humbuckers with push/pull coil split: High‑output and seriously aggressive when you need it, but far from one‑dimensional — pull up the tone knob to split the coils and unlock cleaner, more articulate sounds for added versatility.
Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod locking tremolo: Divebomb, squeal and flutter to your heart’s content while staying in tune.
