Just like Syn, all of his guitars are strung up with Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom. His main guitar has a set of Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers, along with some intricate engraving on both the pickup cover and ring. Much like Gates, Zacky uses a handful of his Schecter signature model guitars and each sports a different finish and tuning. The Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II handles all of Gates' effects-except Syn uses a rackmounted Jim Dunlop Custom Shop DCR-2SR Cry Baby Module with a foot controller that is onstage-and is routed through the Hellwin's effects loop. The Hellwin also has MIDI functions, which allows Gates to switch channels from his Fractal Audio MFC-101 foot controller.

The Eе…ѓ4-powered amp has three channels, a built-in noise gate, and a separate input designed for active pickups. Gates' signal goes through an Audio-Technica wireless unit and into his Schecter Hellwin 100-watt head. When Synyster Gates takes his nightly mid-set solo ГЎ la EVH, his tech gives him a guitar with a shorter strap so Gates can have better access to the upper frets. All of his guitars are strung up with Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom. Each guitar has a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge position and a Sustainiac at the neck. PG's Chris Kies is on location in Omaha, NE, where he catches up with the techs behind the rigs of Avenged Sevenfold guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance, and bassist Johnny Christ who all used their own signature Schecter instruments during the fall leg of the Hail to the King 2013 tour.ДЄvenged Sevenfold's Synyster Gates uses an array of his signature Schecter guitars in a variety of colors and tunings (standard, dropped D, and dropped C#).
