Schecter Synyster Standard FR Guitar Black B-Stock 2765
Description
Schecter Synyster Standard FR Guitar Black B-Stock 2765
The Schecter Synyster Standard FR is engineered to capture aggressive, articulate tones in the studio and deliver responsive tracking across multiple takes. Built on a 25.5" scale with ultra-thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets, this instrument excels at both rhythmic precision and lead definition. Designed as Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows signature model, it combines hardware that supports standard playing and extended tremolo work for tracking everything from power chord riffs to soaring lead passages. The B-stock condition means it may have minor cosmetic imperfections but maintains full functionality and performance.
Playability & Recording Tone
The mahogany body with bolt-on construction pairs with a three-piece mahogany neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods, delivering stable tracking and minimal tonal variance across multiple takes. The ebony fretboard and 16" radius accommodate both tight rhythmic articulation and fluid lead work, while the ultra-thin neck thickness (.748" at the 1st fret, .787" at the 12th) enables rapid position shifts—essential for capturing clean take-after-take performance in demanding sessions.
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) maintains tuning stability during aggressive string bending and dive bombs, while the Floyd Rose Special nut ensures consistent string lock-in at the headstock.
