Synyster Gates, guitarist of the metal band Avenged Sevenfold, has been a Schecter artist for years and has had his own Schecter signature models for just as long, which are particularly characterized by the Avenger shape and unusual finishes.
Schecter produces both time-honored replicas and contemporary single coils and humbucker pickups. All pickups from A for “Apocalypse” to Z for “Z Plus” are produced in the USA. From vintage to ultra-hot sounds, from six to eight strings, Schecter has the right pickup for everyone.
Sustainiac® is an innovative technology for electric guitars that extends the sustain, i.e. the length of time the string vibrates. Using an electromagnetic pickup and special electronics, Sustainiac® allows guitarists to let sounds last longer and with more control. A distinctive feature is the selective activation or deactivation of the sustain effect, allowing flexible switching between normal playing and extended sustain.
The Hipshot® Bridge is a high-quality solution for electric guitars and basses, known for precision, stability and versatility. Hipshot® products are widely used in guitar technology and represent innovation and quality. Available as fixed bridge and tremolo bridges, they feature robust construction and high-quality materials such as stainless steel, ensuring longevity and tuning stability. The bridges allow for easy adjustment of string position and intonation, promoting improved string vibration transfer for a clear and resonant sound.
A “set-neck” (glued-in) neck is a design that is characterized by its tonal and playing properties. In contrast to neck-body connections, where the neck is screwed, the set-neck neck is firmly glued to the guitar body. The fixed neck connection eliminates the need for screws and additional connection mechanisms, resulting in a more direct transmission of string vibrations to the body. The result is a powerful, resonant sound with longer sustain.
An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.
