The Synyster Gates Custom 6 TR-S cuts through live and studio environments with exceptional balance and responsiveness.

The Hipshot headless tremolo bridge with dual-action truss rod and two carbon fiber reinforcement rods ensures rock-solid tuning stability and intonation, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42mm x 6mm) delivers clarity and sustain.
Tone & Electronics

Frequently Asked Questions
What genres and skill levels is this guitar designed for?
The Synyster Gates Custom 6 TR-S is engineered for intermediate, advanced, and professional players pursuing metal, progressive rock, and hard-rock styles. Its aggressive, sustain-focused electronics and extended-range construction make it less suited to jazz, traditional blues, or folk applications.
What makes the headless design practical for live and studio use?
The headless Hipshot tremolo bridge, dual-action truss rod, and two carbon-fiber reinforcement rods provide rock-solid tuning stability and intonation retention—critical for aggressive tremolo work and extended sets. The design also reduces overall weight while maintaining a resonant, sustained tone, making it comfortable during long playing sessions on stage or in the studio.
How does the Sustainiac pickup differ from a standard humbucker setup?
The Sustainiac neck pickup generates virtually limitless sustain for expressive solos, harmonic layers, and textural experimentation, while the signature Schecter USA humbucker in the bridge delivers aggressive, high-output tones with articulate attack. Together, they allow quick tonal shaping via the 3-way lever selector and push-pull volume/tone controls.
What are the neck specifications and fretboard details?
The 3-piece mahogany set neck features an ultra-thin "C" profile with a 19mm-to-20mm thickness from fret 1 to 12, a 16-inch radius ebony fretboard, and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets for fast, fluid playability. The scale length is 25.5 inches, and the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42mm x 6mm) delivers clarity and sustain.
What hardware and aesthetics define this instrument?
The chambered mahogany body with maple cap construction balances weight reduction and resonance, while chrome hardware and a satin black finish deliver a modern, aggressive aesthetic. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers enhance fretboard visibility on dark stages.
