Description
Schecter Synyster Custom-S Lefty Guitar Distressed Satin Black
The Schecter Synyster Custom-S Left-Handed sits in your hands with the responsiveness and balance that separates working instruments from showpieces. Built around an ultra-thin neck profile and mahogany body, it's engineered for left-handed players who demand speed without sacrifice. Pro-level electronics punch through any stage mix, while the distressed satin black finish wears the battle scars of serious touring without showing every ding.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, lets you move across the fretboard with zero fatigue during extended lead passages and rapid position shifts. A 25.5" scale length paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 16" radius gives you the familiar platform left-handed players rely on for lead work, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series nut (41.3mm) locks in tuning stability through aggressive bending and tremolo abuse.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbucker at the bridge generates the thick, articulate gain that cuts through a full metal ensemble, while the neck-position Sustainiac pickup opens up infinite sustain and feedback textures via dedicated mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic). A full control suite—including a 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac switch and 3-Way mode selector—puts both conventional and experimental tones within arm's reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar built for left-handed players?
Yes, this is a fully left-handed configuration with the Synyster Custom-S designed specifically for left-handed musicians. All hardware, pickups, controls, and the Floyd Rose locking system are mirrored for left-handed play.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This model is rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The ultra-thin neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and aggressive pickup response are optimized for lead work and high-gain styles rather than beginner-friendly platforms.
What makes the Sustainiac pickup different from a standard neck pickup?
The Sustainiac is a proprietary pickup with three distinct modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic—controlled via dedicated switching. It unlocks infinite sustain and harmonic feedback textures beyond traditional humbucker response, adding experimental layering possibilities to your tone.
How does the distressed satin black finish hold up under heavy touring?
The distressed finish is intentionally aged and designed to hide the wear that comes with serious gigging, making visible scratches and scuffs part of the guitar's character rather than liability. It's built for road-ready reliability.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
This model is optimized for Metal, Hard Rock, and Progressive styles. The thick, articulate gain and modern metal cut make it less suited for Jazz, Folk, or Country applications.
