Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for left-handed players?
The Banshee Mach-6 LH is explicitly left-handed. The Synyster Custom-S is right-handed only, making it unsuitable for left-handed players without special ordering.
What is the key difference in pickup design between these two?
The Banshee Mach-6 LH uses dual Lundgren M6 humbuckers for straightforward high-output tone. The Synyster Custom-S pairs a Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbucker bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup that adds harmonic sustain modes for extended tonal shaping.
How do the neck constructions differ?
The Banshee Mach-6 LH uses neck-thru construction for maximum sustain, while the Synyster Custom-S uses set-neck construction. Both feature ultra-thin neck profiles with identical measurements (.748" at 1st fret, .787" at 12th fret), but the Banshee's compound radius (12–16") differs from the Synyster's fixed 16" radius.
Which is better for drop tunings and heavy rhythm?
The Banshee Mach-6 LH is purpose-built for drop tunings with its tight low-end response and aggressive midrange, plus neck-thru sustain. The Synyster Custom-S is better suited to extended-range lead work with harmonic sustain, making it less specialized for heavy rhythm.
