Frequently asked questions
Which is better for djent and extended-range metal?
The Synyster Gates Custom-7 TR excels here—its 7-string configuration is purpose-built for djent tunings (B standard or lower), while the C-1 FR-S is limited to 6-string standard range. If low, heavy riffs are your primary focus, the 7-string wins decisively.
What's the main tremolo difference?
The Synyster Gates uses a Hipshot 7-string headless tremolo with bridge tuning—stable and modern but less aggressive for whammy dives. The C-1 FR-S features a Floyd Rose 1500 Series, the classic choice for extreme dive-bombs, bar abuse, and vibrato experimentation on 6-string.
Which neck is faster for lead work?
The Synyster Gates has a thinner neck (19-20mm) and feels slightly sleeker, while the C-1 FR-S measures 20-22mm and benefits from a longer 25.5" scale for smoother, wider bends. Both are fast; the 7-string feels more cramped vertically, the 6-string has wider string spacing.
How do the pickups compare?
The Synyster Gates uses dual Schecter USA Signature humbuckers with coil-split for tonal range (aggressive to warm cleans). The C-1 FR-S pairs a Fishman Fluence Modern bridge (aggressive high-gain clarity) with a Sustainiac neck (sustain and feedback control), prioritizing extreme gain and lead expression over clean tones.
