Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this Custom-S a warm, sustaining foundation, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale tighten up the attack for clear, articulate note definition under high gain. The Schecter USA Synyster Gates signature humbucker at the bridge pushes an aggressive midrange bite suited to metal and hard rock rhythm work and cutting lead lines, and the Sustainiac neck pickup adds endless sustain with switchable fundamental, mix, and harmonic modes for singing feedback-style leads. With a Floyd Rose 1500 bridge and thin neck profile, it favors players who lean on dive bombs, wide vibrato and fast legato phrasing.
Schecter Synyster Custom-S Left-Handed Electric Guitar in Satin Gold Burst
This left-handed Synyster Custom-S captures aggressive articulation and infinite sustain in the studio with its Ultra Thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale, paired with a responsive mahogany set-neck construction that balances sustain with articulate note definition. The ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers ensures both precision and visibility across extended recording sessions. Finished in Satin Gold Burst with distinctive gold pearloid 'SYN' and 'Deathbat' inlays, this instrument combines functional design with striking visual presence.
Playability & Feel
The mahogany 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping while maintaining the wood's natural resonance and warmth. An Ultra Thin 'C' profile measuring .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret accommodates both lead overdubs and rhythm tracking without hand fatigue, while the 16" fretboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets support fast, accurate fretting across the entire fingerboard for session work.
Tone & Recording Versatility
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbucker bridge pickup and Sustainiac® neck pickup deliver aggressive midrange articulation paired with infinite sustain capabilities through the 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac Switch and 3-Way Sustainiac Mode Switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic). A Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with Grover tuners ensures tuning stability and full expressive range across takes, while the metal knurled control knobs with set screws provide secure engagement during extended tracking and layering sessions.
