Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Schecter City of Evil C-1 FR Reissue is a reissue of an early Synyster Gates-associated model, tied to Avenged Sevenfold's 2005 album "City of Evil," built on Schecter's C-1 body shape and fitted with a Floyd Rose-style tremolo (FR) for dive-bomb and pitch-bending techniques common in metal lead playing. It predates Gates' later dedicated signature line, representing an early chapter in his association with Schecter.

The Schecter Synyster Gates Paradigm is a signature electric guitar from the Avenged Sevenfold guitarist's line with Schecter, sharing the active EMG pickup configuration and fast neck profile of the broader Synyster Custom-S series in a distinct finish. Signature Schecter guitars in this range are aimed at metal and hard rock players wanting high-output pickups and a shred-oriented neck. It suits players wanting Gates' signature specification in the Paradigm cosmetic treatment.
