Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and lower registers?
The Banshee Mach-6 Left-Handed is specifically engineered for extended range and drop tunings with its tight low-end response and high-output Lundgren pickups. The Synyster Custom-S is voiced for metal and djent but is not explicitly marketed for sub-standard tuning applications.
What is the key difference in pickup technology between these two?
The Banshee Mach-6 features dual Lundgren M6 pickups with a push-pull tone control for standard tonal shaping. The Synyster Custom-S includes a Sustainiac OEM SYN neck pickup with 2-way on-off and 3-way mode switching that generates infinite sustain and harmonic effects, a capability absent from the Banshee.
How do neck construction differences affect these guitars?
The Banshee Mach-6 uses neck-thru construction with roasted maple/purpleheart multi-ply and carbon fiber reinforcement, maximizing sustain and direct tonal transfer. The Synyster Custom-S uses set-neck construction with three-piece mahogany and carbon fiber rods, which is lighter and warmer-voiced but more traditional in feel.
Is the Banshee Mach-6 Left-Handed suitable for right-handed players?
No—this is a left-handed configuration. Right-handed players should choose the Synyster Custom-S, which is not labeled as left-handed.
