Schecter Synyster Gates Standard Plus Transparent Deep Red Electric Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter Synyster Gates Standard Plus in Transparent Deep Red with Black Pin Stripes brings the unmistakable style and high-performance specification of the Avenged Sevenfold guitarist’s signature instruments into a seriously capable production model. Its distinctive Avenger-shaped mahogany body features a quilted maple top, while a reinforced three-piece mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets provide the fast, controlled feel expected from a modern rock and metal guitar.

A pair of Schecter Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers delivers powerful, articulate tones designed to handle substantial amounts of gain, while a push/pull coil split adds useful brighter textures. The Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose Special ‘Hot Rod’ locking tremolo completes the package, making the Synyster Gates Standard Plus an excellent choice for heavy riffing, technical lead work and expressive tremolo techniques.

What Makes the Schecter Synyster Gates Standard Plus Special?

The Synyster Gates Standard Plus is immediately recognisable thanks to its dramatic Avenger body shape, Transparent Deep Red finish and contrasting Black Pin Stripes. Underneath the signature aesthetics is a serious performance specification. The mahogany body is topped with quilted maple, while the bolt-on three-piece mahogany neck includes carbon-fibre reinforcement rods for additional stability. An Ultra Thin “C” profile measuring approximately 19mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth combines with a flat 16" radius ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets for a fast, precise feel.

The electronics have been developed around Synyster Gates’ playing style, with Schecter Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers fitted in both positions. They provide the output and definition required for heavy rhythm sounds while retaining the clarity needed for complex lead lines. A push/pull coil split expands the tonal range, while the Floyd Rose Special ‘Hot Rod’ double-locking tremolo gives players the freedom to incorporate extreme dives, pull-ups and expressive vibrato.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter Synyster Gates Standard Plus is an obvious choice for Avenged Sevenfold and Synyster Gates fans, but its appeal extends well beyond signature-model collectors. Its fast neck, powerful humbuckers and locking tremolo make it an excellent instrument for intermediate, advanced and professional players working in modern rock and metal.

It is particularly suited to metal, hard rock, progressive styles, technical lead guitar and high-gain rhythm playing, especially for guitarists who actively use tremolo techniques or want a striking instrument with a distinctive stage presence.

Why Choose A Signature Performance Guitar?

A well-designed signature guitar brings together features that have been selected around the requirements of a working professional musician. In the case of the Synyster Gates Standard Plus, that means a fast neck, high-output humbuckers, expansive upper-fret access and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo.

The result is an instrument with a clear purpose rather than simply a cosmetic artist association. Even players who are not specifically looking to reproduce Synyster Gates’ sound can benefit from a specification designed around demanding rock and metal performance.

How Does It Compare?

Compared With The Standard Synyster Gates Model

The Standard Plus upgrades key areas of the specification, including an ebony fingerboard, quilted maple top and Schecter Synyster Gates Signature pickups. It is the stronger choice for players looking for a more premium version of the accessible Synyster platform.

Compared With A Fixed-Bridge Metal Guitar

A fixed bridge offers simpler restringing and setup, but the Floyd Rose-equipped Synyster Gates Standard Plus provides dramatically greater control over pitch. Players who regularly use dive bombs, pull-ups and expressive vibrato will benefit from the additional flexibility of the double-locking system.
