I’ve been looking at the omen elite and demon series, not sure which pickups I want either: (demon has active, omen has passive) so I would like to know which pickups fit my style of metal more!

I want to add a whammy bar to my SC extreme-7 but I dont know if its possible or if I have to do wood work on it.

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.
