Description
Schecter Synyster Gates Custom 7 TR Headless Guitar Oak Green Metallic
The headless design and chambered mahogany body deliver exceptional balance and comfort during long sets, keeping weight minimal while maintaining structural integrity under stage demands. Built for technical precision across all 24 frets, the Synyster Gates Custom 7 combines modern ergonomics with premium construction tailored for metal, rock, and progressive styles. The Oak Green Metallic finish commands attention on stage, backed by serious hardware and electronics engineered for touring and session work.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin "C" neck profile (19mm at the 1st fret, 20mm at the 12th) paired with an ebony fretboard and 16" radius cuts through complex fingering patterns and rapid lead passages with ease. Two carbon fiber reinforcement rods stabilize the maple headless set-neck, ensuring neck stays dead-straight under aggressive playing and temperature swings on the road, while the deep insert joint with ultra access grants seamless fretboard access to the highest frets for uninterrupted upper-register work.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers cut through a mix with articulate, powerful tones and excellent clarity across both positions. The push-pull coil-split function on the master tone control combined with the 3-way toggle switch expands your sonic palette from aggressive leads to warm, defined cleans, while the Hipshot 7-string headless tremolo system with bridge tuning function holds pitch stability gig after gig.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the headless design practical for live gigging?
The headless design reduces overall weight (7.8 lbs) and front-end bulk without sacrificing balance or neck stability, thanks to the carbon fiber reinforcement rods and set-neck joint. Tuning is maintained via the Hipshot 7-string headless tremolo with bridge tuning function, eliminating the need for a traditional headstock while preserving rock-solid intonation under aggressive playing.
Is this suitable for genres outside metal and progressive rock?
This instrument is purpose-built for metal, progressive, and hard-rock styles. The articulate, powerful humbucker tone and extended 7-string range are not optimized for jazz, folk, or blues playing, where single-coil clarity and tonal warmth from traditional body designs are typically preferred.
What neck profile and fret access do I get?
The ultra-thin "C" profile runs 19mm at the 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th fret, creating a fast, responsive surface for intricate riffwork. All 24 X-Jumbo gold frets are accessible via the deep insert joint and ultra-access design, enabling seamless play across the entire range even on a headless platform.
Can I switch between aggressive and clean tones?
Yes. The push-pull coil-split function on the master tone control, combined with the 3-way toggle switch, lets you shift from full aggressive leads to warm, defined cleans without plugging or unplugging anything during a set.
How does the scale length and tonal character compare to a standard 6-string?
At 26.5", the scale is longer than most standard 6-strings, providing tighter string tension, enhanced articulation, and powerful dynamics ideal for metal and progressive riffing. The dual Schecter USA signature humbuckers deliver clarity and punch across all seven strings, excelling at both chunky rhythms and aggressive lead passages.
