Description
Schecter Signature Synyster Custom Electric Guitar Gloss Black w/ Silver Pin Stripes
The Synyster Custom is built to capture articulate, aggressive tones in the studio with an ultra-thin 'C' neck profile that enables rapid technical passages and precise finger work across extended sessions. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway provides seamless fretboard access all the way to the 24th fret, while the mahogany body and ebony fingerboard deliver excellent sustain and tonal clarity—assets that translate directly into focused recordings across metal, progressive rock, and modern production styles.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The mahogany neck features carbon fiber reinforcement rods and measures .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th fret, delivering a fast, responsive feel that minimizes hand fatigue during long tracking takes. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fretboard support both technical lead work and smooth, controlled bends, while glow-in-the-dark side dot markers aid navigation during low-light studio sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbuckers capture both lead and rhythm tones with clarity and controlled aggression, shaped via volume, push-pull tone, and a 3-way switch for versatile voice selection across mix contexts. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and locking nut system maintain pitch stability through aggressive tremolo work and frequent tuning changes between takes.
