Schecter Synyster Standard Gloss White with Black Pinstripes Electric Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter Synyster Standard in Gloss White with Black Pinstripes brings the unmistakable design of Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synyster Gates into a performance-focused signature electric guitar. Its distinctive Avenger body is made from mahogany and paired with a reinforced three-piece mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets for a fast, precise playing experience.

Dual Schecter Diamond Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers provide powerful, articulate tones designed to work particularly well with high gain, while a push/pull coil-split function adds brighter alternative sounds. A Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose Special ‘Hot Rod’ locking tremolo completes the specification, making the Synyster Standard a formidable choice for metal, hard rock and technical lead playing.

What Makes the Schecter Synyster Standard Special?

The Synyster Standard is immediately recognisable thanks to its angular Avenger body shape, Gloss White finish and contrasting Black Pinstripes. Underneath the signature aesthetic is a genuine performance guitar. Its three-piece mahogany neck incorporates carbon-fibre reinforcement rods and an Ultra Thin “C” profile, while the 16" radius ebony fingerboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets provide the flat, fast playing surface preferred by many modern rock and metal guitarists.

A pair of Schecter Diamond Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers provides strong output and definition for heavy rhythm work and articulate lead tones. The push/pull tone control allows the pickups to be split for brighter textures, while the Floyd Rose Special ‘Hot Rod’ double-locking tremolo gives players the freedom to incorporate dive bombs, pull-ups, vibrato and other dramatic pitch effects.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter Synyster Standard is naturally an excellent choice for Synyster Gates and Avenged Sevenfold fans, but its appeal goes far beyond recreating one guitarist’s sound. Its fast neck, high-output humbuckers and locking tremolo make it a capable instrument for intermediate and advanced players looking for a modern performance guitar.

It is particularly well suited to metal, hard rock, progressive styles, shred and technical lead guitar, especially for players who actively incorporate tremolo effects and high-gain tones into their playing.

Why Choose A Signature Performance Guitar?

A good signature guitar combines features selected around the requirements of a professional player rather than simply adding an artist’s name to a standard instrument. The Synyster Standard provides a fast 24-fret neck, powerful humbuckers, coil splitting and a double-locking tremolo in one focused package.

Those features remain useful regardless of musical influence. Guitarists looking for precise high-gain rhythm tones, fast lead playability and extensive control over pitch can take advantage of the Synyster Standard without needing to be dedicated Avenged Sevenfold players.

How Does It Compare?

Compared With The Synyster Custom

The Synyster Standard provides the key elements of the signature design at a more accessible level, including the Avenger body, ebony fingerboard, signature humbuckers and Floyd Rose tremolo. The higher-spec Synyster Custom models move further into premium hardware, construction and electronics.

Compared With A Conventional Dual-Humbucker Guitar

A traditional fixed-bridge HH guitar offers a simpler setup, but the Synyster Standard adds considerably more performance flexibility. Its coil splitting expands the pickup sounds, while the Floyd Rose allows dramatic pitch effects unavailable from a hardtail bridge.
