Description
Sound & Tone
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbucker in the bridge pushes a high-output, aggressive voice, while the mahogany body and ebony fretboard underneath add warmth and a firm attack that keeps fast riffing articulate. The Sustainiac neck pickup with its two mini mode switches turns held notes into endless sustain and controlled feedback textures, and the 25.5" scale keeps string tension tight and defined for low-tuned rhythm work. With a Floyd Rose 1500 locking system for dive bombs and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius, it is aimed squarely at metal, hard rock, and lead-driven playing.
Schecter Synyster Custom-S Guitar Distressed Satin Black
The Synyster Custom-S sits light and responsive in your hands with an ultra-thin "C" neck profile and 25.5" scale, built to keep up with fast lead passages and intricate fretwork during long sets. The 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement stays rock-solid under heavy playing stress, while 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets give you consistent feel and durability night after night. The distressed satin black finish and iconic "SYN" and "Deathbat" inlays mark this as an instrument engineered for aggressive, expressive playing with zero compromise.
Playability & Construction
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 41.3mm nut width lets your hand move freely across complex lead lines and unconventional voicings. Deep Insert Joint construction with Ultra Access cuts down on reach to the highest frets, while the 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods keeps everything dead-straight through demanding gigs and hard tuning sessions.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbucker in the bridge pumps high-output aggression and cuts through any mix, while the Sustainiac neck pickup opens up infinite sustain and feedback-like sounds controlled by two dedicated mini switches—essential for exploitative, expressive solos. The Floyd Rose 1500 locking bridge and nut lock in your tuning through dive bombs and wild tremolo work, while the ebony fretboard and mahogany body deliver warm, focused resonance that sustains and projects on stage.
