. Description
Sound & Tone
The jumbo mahogany body with a spruce top pushes out a warm, full-bodied voice with strong low-end bloom and plenty of projection, while the rosewood fretboard and bridge keep note definition clear under heavy strumming. The 25.5" scale and synthetic bone nut add tautness and articulation, so flatpicked rhythm parts and single-note lines stay defined rather than muddy. Onstage, the Schecter piezo bridge pickup and CE304T 3-band EQ let you shape the amplified tone and tame boominess, making it a practical fit for rock and metal players who need an acoustic for unplugged sets, live rhythm work, or fingerstyle passages.
Schecter Synyster Gates 'Syn AC-GA SC' Acoustic
The Schecter Synyster Gates SYN AC-GA SC is a signature acoustic built for players who demand premium construction paired with aggressive aesthetic appeal. Its slim, comfortable neck profile and jumbo body deliver balanced playability without sacrificing the projection and resonance expected from a serious acoustic instrument. The gloss black finish with silver pinstripes and pearloid gothic cross inlays signal this is an instrument designed for those unwilling to compromise on both sound and visual presence on stage.
Playability & Construction
The thin 'C'-shaped mahogany neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 20 medium frets across a 25.5" scale for responsive, articulate playing across the fingerboard. Dovetail set-neck construction ensures solid coupling between neck and body, while the rosewood fretboard and synthetic bone nut deliver clarity and durability in a design built to withstand regular gigging and performance use.
Tone & Live Performance
The jumbo mahogany body with spruce top provides warm, full-bodied acoustic tone with natural projection, while the Schecter Acoustic Piezo bridge pickup feeds into a Schecter CE304T 3-Band EQ with on-board tuner for reliable amplified performance and precise tuning anywhere on the road or in the venue. Chrome hardware and a rosewood bridge complete the setup, offering both tonal integrity and professional-grade amplification when you need to cut through a live mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the neck, and will it feel comfortable for extended playing?
The thin 'C'-shaped mahogany neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 25.5" scale. This slim profile and moderate radius are designed for responsive, articulate playing and reduced hand fatigue during live sets or studio sessions.
Does this acoustic work plugged in, and what kind of tone shaping can I do?
Yes—it features a Schecter Acoustic Piezo bridge pickup running into a CE304T 3-band EQ with an on-board tuner, giving you reliable amplified tone and precise frequency control for stage or studio. The synthetic bone nut and rosewood bridge preserve acoustic clarity whether you play unplugged or amplified.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
This model is optimized for hard rock, metal, and live performance in intermediate to professional contexts. It is not recommended for traditional jazz, classical, or folk styles, which typically benefit from different body shapes and tonal characteristics.
What is included with the guitar, and what do I need to buy separately?
The guitar ships without a case; a Schecter SGR-13AC case is sold separately. The instrument includes the acoustic-electric guitar fully set up, with chrome hardware, Piezo pickup system, and on-board EQ and tuner ready to play out of the box.
How does the jumbo body and spruce-top mahogany construction affect the tone?
The jumbo mahogany body with spruce top delivers warm, full-bodied acoustic tone with natural projection suitable for cutting through on stage or in the studio. The dovetail set-neck construction couples the neck solidly to the body, ensuring sustained resonance and tonal balance across the fingerboard.
