Guitar Syn used in A7X early days?

[Edward John]

Has Syn always been a Schechter player? There is plenty of proof of him playing those even way back in the early days. I do believe he also used Les Paul’s and ESP’s as well, though I might be wrong. Anyone got any idea what he used early on?

 

[Ethan Keeling]

I’ve seen him with an ibanez too. However I think he said that in the studio they were using mainly schecter early on in the a7x time line, they they made him his sig around the city if eveil time (I think anyway) xe

I think back he used a Gibson les Paul in the early days(the white one in the unholy confessions music video) but they also have been using Schecter since the beginning. Right now they use a bunch of guitars in the studio

 

[Edward John]

Yeah, I though Syn used Gibson, I think it was Les Paul’s as well wasn’t it? Yeah, I think he’s used Schechter live for near enough every single tour they’ve ever done.

They have sold the city of evil Schecter guitars like 50 of them. The same guitar he used in that period also the bat country replica guitar used in the music video also. These guitars had the back plate signed. Hector actually has the city of the evil guitar.

 

[Edward John]

Great to hear about the city of evil guitar, do you know where the self titled is?

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

the self-titled is his signature one now should be very easy to find.

 

[Ethan Keeling]

He also used for the white album a guitar with the same flag on it that dime had, the union flag maybe? Ised during the civil war I think, but dont quote me kn that!

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

I thought you meant the guitar he toured with. I’m not sure where that guitar is. That one you’re talking about has the confederate flag. I’m not sure about American history but I suspect some people may be offended by this flag. I heard something about that. I even remember him having a guitar with the german flag on MTV that one looked cool. Correct me if I am wrong I think I heard somewhere that Syn’s mom was half german or german or something like that, hence the german flag guitar, but I could be wrong.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

There was something said about him not using the flagged guitars again. Theres 2 of them actually. As shown in the making of doc.
I believe syn has many different models out there with different set ups for different things etc. Not sure if hisnsigs have the same set ups or of they are all defaulted but that could be something to look into.

Didn’t he also use a parker fly

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

Yes, that’s correct I remember seeing him play it in the warped tour, you’re right. @Manvir B red one right?

 

[Brian Haner Sr.]

His Ibanez and Parker Fly were the two he used for the first 2 albums. Actually, the first time he EVER used a Les Paul was for the video shoot of Unholy. It was supposed to be only for the shoot, but he he liked it so much, he bought it. Shortly after that, he became a Schecter endorsee - and the rest, as they say - is history.

Yup that's the one

Thanks Papa Syn. The tone of the leads on those first albums are great.

You can actually get a replica for a pretty reasonable price as well.
