Description

Edit description

Step into the spotlight with the Synyster Gates Limited Edition Black Moon Guitar, a masterpiece born from the collaboration between Schecter and Avenged Sevenfold's iconic lead guitarist. This extended range electric guitar is designed for musicians who demand a perfect blend of style, performance, and versatility. Its sleek, ergonomic body ensures comfort during long performances, while the Sustainiac pickup delivers infinite sustain, allowing notes to soar with unparalleled clarity and depth.

This guitar is not just about aesthetics; it is a powerhouse of performance-driven features. The 24 jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard provide exceptional playability, allowing for fast, precise runs and smooth chord transitions. The set-neck construction enhances resonance and sustain, ensuring that every note rings true. A Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo system adds to the guitar's expressive potential, enabling dive bombs and pitch shifts with rock-solid tuning stability.

The Synyster Gates Limited Edition Black Moon Guitar also boasts a mahogany body that delivers a rich, full-bodied tone, perfect for any genre from hard rock to metal. The guitar’s aggressive yet sophisticated sound is further enhanced by the Seymour Duncan Custom Syn Invader humbuckers, specifically tailored to Synyster Gates’ specifications for punchy, powerful output.

As Synyster Gates quotes himself:

I wanted to create a once in a lifetime opportunity for the diehard fan to collect 'small batch' extremely limited and collectible guitars that will increase value over time, with aesthetics that I believe are genuinely unique and cool

I wanted to create a connection with the fan that I would've loved to have had with my guitar heroes. This is much more than a guitar as you will quickly learn once you've become a part of this exclusive family

This guitar is extremely valuable, as only 50 were ever produced. Each guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Synyster Gates himself. More information here: https://syngatesstore.com/products/synyster-gates-custom-black-moon-guitar
