Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates (pictured) of Avenged Sevenfold teamed up with Schecter Guitar Research to create custom designed artist model guitars. Vengeance created a sleek, satin black “6661” guitar decked out with custom distressed hardware and his signature switchblade “V” logo.

The company also reissued the guitarist’s original Zacky Vengeance custom guitar in see-thru cherry.

Gates debuts the Synyster Gates Custom-S, which comes loaded with his self-proclaimed “secret weapon,” the Sustainiac System. This black with silver pin stripes guitar (which Gates played during a show in Ontario in December) includes the official A7X skull with bat wings logo.

Gates also created an eye-catching  purple and metallic green colored custom guitar which he debuted during A7X’s headlining run on the Uproar Tour last fall. That guitar also features the A7X “death bat” logo.
