Hi all, we’ve been changing things around in preparation for a few upcoming things.

Wanted to check if all was working well regarding posting. I know the moderation system has been flagging some content extra hard, but we’ve tried to improve this recently. Lots of bots out there so its been a bit of an uphill battle.

Would love to hear any thoughts about posting specifically. Threads, asking questions, browsing feeds, the editor, anything.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get a Schecter SGR-2A (Avenger/Synyster Gates) hard case for a Synyster Gates Custom-6 Headless, but I’m finding completely conflicting dimensions online.

Some stores list the width at around 15" (38 cm), while others list it around 19" (48 cm). Some of those numbers may actually be shipping/package dimensions rather than the dimensions of the case itself.

Unfortunately, in my situation even a few centimeters matter.

I’ll be flying internationally with Turkish Airlines and purchasing an extra seat for the guitar (CBBG). Their maximum dimensions for the instrument/case are:

140 × 42 × 25 cm
55.1 × 16.5 × 9.8 in

So I specifically need to know the actual physical OUTER dimensions of the SGR-2A itself, not the interior dimensions and not the cardboard shipping box dimensions.

If anyone here actually owns an SGR-2A, could you please measure:

Overall length — from the furthest point to the furthest point

Maximum width — at the widest point of the case

Maximum thickness/depth — including feet/bumpers if they protrude

For the width in particular, I need to know whether the actual case is under 42 cm / 16.5 inches.

If possible, please measure with a tape measure rather than relying on the manufacturer's/store specifications.

Also, even if somebody has already posted measurements in the comments, I would REALLY appreciate it if another SGR-2A owner could measure theirs as well so I can double-check the result. I really don't want to base an international flight decision on one measurement.

The guitar is quite valuable and difficult for me to replace, so I really don't want to check it into the baggage hold.

Alternative cases

I'm also completely open to using a different hard case.

If anyone owns a Synyster Gates Custom-6 Headless and knows of another protective hard case that fits it properly, please let me know.

Ideally the actual external dimensions of the case must stay within:

140 × 42 × 25 cm / 55.1 × 16.5 × 9.8 in

If you have an alternative case and can provide its actual measured outer dimensions, that would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks a ton to anyone willing to grab a tape measure and check this for me.

Hey guys, I was going through some of the awesome licks from Syn’s Etude and noticed that lick #IV has a different tab from the one shown in the video. Just wanted to point it out in case it helps. Thanks!

Check out this video, where Greg Howe, one of the leading figures in fusion guitar, with collaborations including Michael Jackson, Richie Kotzen, Justin Timberlake, and many others ,explains and answers some key questions that help reveal the magic behind spontaneous composition.
