Schecter Synyster Standard Plus Guitar in Transparent Deep Red
The Schecter Synyster Standard Plus sits naturally in your hands with its Ultra Thin C neck profile and forearm contour—designed to let you move fast without fatigue during long sets. This signature Avenged Sevenfold model pairs mahogany body construction with a quilted maple top in striking Transparent Deep Red, creating an instrument with serious stage presence and the cut needed for high-gain work. Built to handle metal and modern rock demands with reliability night after night.
Build & Playability
The bolt-on three-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber rod reinforcement stays stable and resonant under touring conditions. The Ultra Thin C profile—19mm at the first fret, 20mm at the 12th—lets you shift positions without thinking, while the 25.5" scale and ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets handle technical passages and standard tunings alike. The 16-inch radius balances speed with control, so you can lock in chords or nail intricate leads without compromise.
Tone & Electronics
Two high-output ceramic humbuckers with eight magnets deliver the articulate aggression that cuts through a dense mix—made for pushing into overdrive and distortion without losing definition. Push/pull coil splitting on the master tone control opens up tonal range when you need it. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo with Hot Rod Locking system and Floyd Rose locking nut keep you in tune through aggressive dives and releases, backed by Grover tuners and black hardware that won't let you down on stage or in the studio.
