Sun Valley, California (January 22, 2016) -- Schecter Guitar Research has announced the release of new Signature Models from Avenged Sevenfold’s guitar duo of Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengence.

The new Syn Custom-S will retain his demanding features including the Sustainiac Infinite Sustain Systemand his Signature Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker. New appointments include Schecter’s exclusive Floyd Rose 1500 locking tremolo and side Glow-In-the-Dark position markers. These guitars follow Syn’s renowned ā€˜pinstripe’ graphic pattern, but with a burst added to the edges along with a thin satin finish for increased acoustic resonance and response.

Available finishes: Satin Gold Burst (shown) and Satin Dark Earth Burst.

Street Price $1259.00

The 2016 Zacky Vengeance ZV-6661 (Street $999) will be armed with Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers and outfitted with ā€˜distressed’ chrome hardware including the TonePros TOM System.

Finished in a new Aged Natural Satin Black Burst, each guitar will have Zacky’s ā€˜6661’ insignia hand engraved into the body.

Zacky and Syn will be taking these new models into the studio next month as the band begins to record the follow-up to their chart topping Hail To The King.

The announcement in January 2024 that Two-Rock had acquired Divided by 13 Amplifiers (D13) was big news in the amp world. It was also good news for anyone who’d enjoyed rocking D13’s original, hand-made creations and hoped to see the brand live on. From the start of D13’s operations in the early ’90s, founder and main-man Fred Taccone did things a little differently. He eschewed existing designs, made his amps simple and tone-centric, and kept the company itself simple and small. And if that approach didn’t necessarily make him rich, it did earn him a stellar reputation for top-flight tube amps and boatloads of star endorsements.
