Description
Schecter Synyster Standard Plus Guitar in Transparent Deep Red
The Schecter Synyster Standard Plus is engineered for studio tracking and live recording scenarios where speed and precision matter. Its Ultra Thin C neck profile and forearm contour minimize fatigue during marathon session work, while the mahogany body with quilted maple top in Transparent Deep Red delivers focused, articulate resonance ideal for layering heavy parts. Built to handle high-gain processing and aggressive playing techniques, this instrument tracks cleanly through dense mixes and modern rock/metal productions.
Build & Playability
The bolt-on three-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber rod reinforcement ensures consistent tuning across long sessions and provides tonal clarity in recordings. The Ultra Thin C profile at 19mm (1st fret) and 20mm (12th fret) facilitates rapid tracking of complex passages without hand fatigue, while the 25.5" scale length and ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets support wide tuning ranges and clean articulation. The 16-inch radius balances comfort during precision work with the control needed for studio-quality takes.
Tone & Recording Performance
Two ceramic humbucking pickups with eight magnets and high-output wind capture aggressive, defined tones that cut through dense arrangements and heavy processing chains. Push/pull coil split functionality on the master tone control lets you dial between punchy articulation and fuller saturation without re-amping, streamlining session workflow. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo with Hot Rod Locking system and Floyd Rose locking nut maintain tuning stability across multiple takes, backed by Grover tuners and black hardware throughout.
