Description
Schecter Synyster Standard FR Guitar Black B-Stock 2765
The Schecter Synyster Standard FR puts a fast, responsive neck in your hands with its ultra-thin 'C' profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale. Built as M. Shadows' signature model, this guitar couples aggressive aesthetics with battle-tested hardware that handles both standard playing and aggressive tremolo work. The B-stock condition means it may have minor cosmetic imperfections but maintains full functionality and performance.
Playability & Construction
The mahogany body with bolt-on construction pairs with a three-piece mahogany neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods for stability and minimal neck dive. The ebony fretboard and 16" radius work equally well for shredding and chord voicings, while the ultra-thin neck thickness (.748" at the 1st fret, .787" at the 12th) makes rapid position shifts and high-fret access feel natural and effortless.
Tone & Hardware
Dual Schecter Diamond Synyster Gates Signature Humbuckers deliver thick, articulate tones across bridge and neck positions, controlled via volume, tone with push-pull function, and a 3-way pickup selector. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo (Schecter exclusive) holds tuning rock-solid through aggressive string bending and dive bombs, while the Floyd Rose Special nut locks strings in at the headstock with reliable consistency.
