A Signature Designed for Synyster Gates' World
Guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold since the age of 18, Synyster Gates has marked the US Metal revival by bringing Heavy tones back to the forefront. Within Schecter's catalog, his Signature model (available in remarkable finishes) stands out with a strong visual identity and a decidedly "stage-ready" approach: a base inspired by the Avenger shape, a fast feel, and hardware designed to withstand modern techniques.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a responsive electric for Metal, Hard Rock, and styles demanding tight palm mutes, fast solos, and lockable vibrato. The 24 frets and "thin C" profile favor lead playing, while the push-pull (split) adds a snappier option for less saturated rhythms or more open passages.
Sound
The combination of a mahogany body and mahogany neck provides a dense and warm foundation, with solid low mids and naturally generous sustain, especially appreciated under high gain. The humbucking pickups (Duncan Designed HB-108 Detonaters) deliver a powerful output and a clear attack response, ideal for precise riffs and standout harmonics. The passive electronics, intentionally minimalist, maintain a direct signal path. Finally, the push-pull tone control allows switching to single coil mode for more bite and definition, useful for varying textures without changing guitars.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay close to the original setup, this guitar is equipped with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings in gauge .010-.046. For transport, the SGR-2A case is recommended as an option (sold separately) and offers the safest solution if you want a perfectly fitting format.
