Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this left-handed Synyster Custom-S a thick, sustaining core, while the Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbucker in the bridge pushes tight, articulate high-gain tones that stay defined under heavy distortion. The ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale add snap and clarity to fast picking, and the Sustainiac neck pickup extends notes indefinitely with Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes for controlled feedback and singing lead lines. It's aimed squarely at modern metal, hard rock, and shred-oriented lead playing, with the Floyd Rose 1500 locking system supporting aggressive bends and tremolo work.
Schecter Synyster Custom-S Lefty Guitar Distressed Satin Black
The Schecter Synyster Custom-S Left-Handed sits in your hands with the responsiveness and balance that separates working instruments from showpieces. Built around an ultra-thin neck profile and mahogany body, it's engineered for left-handed players who demand speed without sacrifice. Pro-level electronics punch through any stage mix, while the distressed satin black finish wears the battle scars of serious touring without showing every ding.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, lets you move across the fretboard with zero fatigue during extended lead passages and rapid position shifts. A 25.5" scale length paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 16" radius gives you the familiar platform left-handed players rely on for lead work, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series nut (41.3mm) locks in tuning stability through aggressive bending and tremolo abuse.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbucker at the bridge generates the thick, articulate gain that cuts through a full metal ensemble, while the neck-position Sustainiac pickup opens up infinite sustain and feedback textures via dedicated mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic). A full control suite—including a 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac switch and 3-Way mode selector—puts both conventional and experimental tones within arm's reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar designed for?
The Synyster Custom-S is built for intermediate to advanced and professional players. The ultra-thin neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and high-output electronics are optimized for fast lead work, extended passages, and aggressive playing styles typical of modern metal and progressive rock.
What makes the Sustainiac neck pickup different?
The Sustainiac pickup delivers infinite sustain and feedback textures with three switchable modes: Fundamental (standard sustain), Mix (blended with the bridge pickup), and Harmonic (for overtone textures). A dedicated 2-Way On-Off switch and 3-Way mode selector give you precise control over both standard and experimental tones.
Will this guitar stay in tune during heavy tremolo use?
Yes. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking nut (41.3mm) and locking tremolo bridge are engineered to maintain stable tuning across aggressive bending and tremolo work, making this platform reliable for modern metal playing styles.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The Synyster Custom-S excels in Metal, Thrash Metal, Hard Rock, and Progressive styles. The thick, articulate bridge humbucker and Sustainiac neck pickup are not ideal for Jazz, Blues, or Folk applications.
What finish is this, and will it show wear?
The distressed satin black finish is designed to age beautifully and conceal the wear that comes with serious gigging and regular use, making it practical for touring and session players.
