Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and djent?
The SVSS 7 is purpose-built for modern metal and djent with its 7-string format, thinner neck-thru construction for sustain, and Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo designed for stable tuning in extended ranges. The Synyster Custom-S remains a 6-string instrument and does not accommodate 7-string drop tunings.
What is the practical difference between the Sustainiac and the Pegasus/Sentient pickup pairing?
The Synyster's Sustainiac neck pickup is a harmonic sustain generator with mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic), adding texture and layering effects. The SVSS 7 uses passive Seymour Duncan humbuckers (Pegasus bridge, Sentient neck) that deliver aggressive high-end clarity and warm midrange without active effects, favoring pure tonal quality over experimentation.
Which neck profile is faster for lead work?
Both use ultra-thin C profiles: the Synyster at 0.748" first fret / 0.787" twelfth fret, and the SVSS 7 at 0.79" first fret / 0.87" twelfth fret. The Synyster is marginally thinner, while the SVSS 7's neck-thru construction and 7-string spacing favor extended tapping and modern technique. Preference depends on hand size and playing style.
Are both B-stock units as playable as new?
Yes. Both B-stock designations indicate cosmetic imperfections only; all hardware, electronics, frets, and structural components meet full professional specifications and are ready for immediate use.
