Schecter Synyster Gates Standard FR Electric Guitar, Gloss Black with Silver Pinstripes

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter Synyster Gates Standard FR in Gloss Black with Silver Pinstripes brings the unmistakable design and performance focus of the Avenged Sevenfold guitarist's signature range into an accessible production model. A mahogany body and reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck are paired with an ebony fingerboard, Ultra Thin "C" profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets for fast, precise modern playability.

Twin Schecter Diamond Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers provide the output, attack and definition required for heavy rhythm work and cutting lead tones, while a Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose Special ‘Hot Rod’ locking tremologives players the freedom to use dive bombs, pitch raises and expressive vibrato. The Gloss Black finish with contrasting Silver Pinstripes and signature Death Bat detailing completes one of Schecter's most recognisable designs.

What Makes the Schecter Synyster Gates Standard Special?

Few signature guitars are as immediately recognisable as the Synyster Gates design. The angular body, bold Silver Pinstripes, distinctive headstock and Pearloid "Syn" fingerboard inlays with Death Bat at the 12th fret give this guitar a strong identity, while the specification underneath is focused firmly on performance. Its carbon-reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck uses an Ultra Thin "C" profile, 16" ebony fingerboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets for a fast, controlled playing feel.

The two Schecter Diamond Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers provide powerful passive tones suited to saturated rhythm and lead playing. A push-pull tone control adds further flexibility, while the Floyd Rose Special ‘Hot Rod’ locking tremolo delivers the pitch range required for aggressive lead techniques without sacrificing the benefits of a double-locking setup.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter Synyster Gates Standard FR is particularly suited to guitarists looking for a fast-playing, high-output instrument with a locking tremolo and an unmistakable visual identity.

It is an excellent choice for:

• Avenged Sevenfold and Synyster Gates fans

• Metal guitarists

• Hard-rock players

• Progressive musicians

• Technical lead guitarists

• Players who frequently use tremolo effects

• Rhythm players requiring powerful humbucker tones

• Guitarists who prefer an Ultra Thin neck

• Intermediate and advanced players

• Gigging and home-recording musicians

Why Choose A Floyd Rose Equipped Guitar?

A double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo secures the strings at both the bridge and nut, allowing considerably more dramatic pitch manipulation than a conventional tremolo system. Players can perform deep dives, upward pitch bends, flutters and aggressive vibrato effects while benefiting from the stability of a properly adjusted locking setup.

This makes the Synyster Standard particularly well suited to expressive modern lead guitar. A Floyd Rose does require a different approach to restringing and setup than a fixed bridge, but for players who actively use the tremolo arm it offers creative possibilities that a hardtail simply cannot provide.
