Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for djent?
Both suit djent, but the C-7 FR-S is more purpose-built with its 7-string configuration, extended 26.5" scale, and compound radius for heavy, articulate lower-string definition. The Synyster Custom-S works for djent in standard or drop tunings but lacks the extended low-end clarity of a 7-string.
What's the key difference in neck feel?
The Synyster Custom-S has an Ultra Thin 'C' measuring .748" at the 1st fret, enabling maximum speed and minimal hand fatigue for lead work. The C-7 FR-S thin 'C' measures .787" at the 1st fret and is designed across 7 strings, so hand positioning differs significantly.
Are the sustain features the same?
Both feature a Sustainiac neck pickup, but the Synyster Custom-S offers a dedicated 2-Way On-Off switch and 3-Way Mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) for precise sustain control. The C-7 FR-S includes dual Sustainiac switches but specifications for mode variety are not detailed.
Which is better for a left-handed player?
The Synyster Custom-S is explicitly left-handed. The C-7 FR-S description does not specify handedness, suggesting it may be available only in right-handed configuration.
