About Schecter Synyster Gates

Schecter’s Synyster Gates signature has been one of their most popular guitars. Gates, lead guitarist for Californian metallers Avenged Sevenfold. Gates’ taste runs to the unorthodox: his signature electric guitar is based on the Avenger shape and is often finished in showy custom paint schemes that incorporate bright metallic colours along with his trademark pinstripes.

There have been a few variations of Gates’ signature Avenger guitar over the years (he is a long time player of Schecter guitars) including models with a Sustainiac system built in and others with different combinations of pickups and finishes. All of the Synyster Gates signature Schecter have Floyd Rose tremolos and high output pickups.

Frequently Asked Questions about Schecter Synyster Gates

Question: What is the difference between the Schecter Hellraiser and the Hellraiser Hybrid ranges?
The Hellraiser Hybrid range is a mix of Hellraiser and SLS features. Essentially a Hellraiser Hybrid is a Hellraiser guitar with the slim neck profile and side dots of an SLS guitar and some very cool looking Carbon Fibre binding.
Question: Can I get an 8 string Hellraiser guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo?
Yes indeed you can! There aren't many 8 string guitars out there with a Floyd Rose tremolo so this is rather special. Just look for the Schecter C-8 FR model.
Question: What is different about the Hellraiser Passive range?
The difference is in the pickup models. The Hellraiser range has active pickups whereas the Hellraiser Passive range has a set of Schecter's USA made Brimstone passive pickups. Finishes between the two ranges may vary but apart form that, the two ranges are the same.
