Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and hard rock?
The Synyster Standard Plus LH is purpose-built for metal and progressive work, with Synyster Gates Signature Humbuckers, high output, and a Floyd Rose Special tremolo designed for aggressive playing. The Solo II Custom LH excels in blues and classic rock but can handle hard rock without the same cutting-edge aggression.
What is the key difference in neck feel?
The Synyster has an ultra-thin 19mm-at-1st-fret profile on a 25.5" scale for speed and precision, while the Solo II features a slightly thicker 0.787" (approximately 20mm) profile on a 24.75" scale, optimized for warmth and classic playability. Both have thin "C" profiles but serve different playing styles.
How do the electronics and sustain differ?
The Synyster uses bolt-on construction with carbon fiber reinforcement for aggressive articulation and high output, while the Solo II's set-neck construction prioritizes warm sustain and balanced tone. The Synyster's Floyd Rose enables wide vibrato effects; the Solo II uses a fixed TonePros bridge for stability.
Which is better for studio and gigging versatility?
The Synyster Standard Plus LH excels in progressive, metal, and modern studio sessions requiring tremolo mastery and articulate cleans. The Solo II Custom LH offers greater genre versatility across blues, rock, and hard rock with a more conventional fixed-bridge setup ideal for straightforward gigging.
