Schecter Signature Synyster Custom-S Electric Guitar Satin Gold Burst
The Synyster Custom-S delivers a remarkably thin and fast neck profile ideal for extended studio tracking sessions, with an Ultra Thin C shape measuring just 0.748" at the first fret. The mahogany body with satin gold burst finish and set-neck construction featuring Ultra Access creates a balanced instrument that captures both aggressive rhythm tones and articulate lead performances with clarity and punch. This is a precision tool built for producers and engineers who demand both playability and distinctive tone shaping in the recording environment.
Recording & Construction
The three-piece mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods resists warp and twist while maintaining the tonal character essential for consistent tracking across multiple takes. 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with 16" radius provide excellent access to higher positions and responsive articulation across the entire neck for precise dynamic control during recording sessions, while glow-in-the-dark side dots and signature gold pearloid 'SYN' and 'Deathbat' inlays complete a functional yet visually distinctive playing surface.
Tone & Recording Electronics
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbucker at the bridge delivers aggressive, articulate output with natural harmonic clarity that cuts through dense mixes, while the Sustainiac neck pickup offers infinite sustain and harmonic generation controlled via dedicated on-off and three-mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) for creative layering and textural effects in post-production. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut system locks tuning with precision for session stability, supported by Grover tuners for accurate tuning maintenance throughout extended recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it comfortable for long sessions?
The Synyster Custom-S features an Ultra Thin C neck measuring 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret—one of the fastest profiles available. The carbon-fiber-reinforced three-piece mahogany construction resists warp while maintaining tonal character, and the thin profile sits comfortably during extended playing sessions.
How does the Sustainiac pickup work, and what can it do?
The Sustainiac neck pickup generates infinite sustain and harmonic content controlled via dedicated on-off and three-way mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic modes). It operates via a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment, letting you add swelling sustain and harmonic textures to lead and ambient passages.
Is the Floyd Rose bridge tuning-stable enough for heavy playing and dive-bombs?
Yes—the Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut system locks tuning with precision and is paired with Grover tuners for stable, accurate tuning throughout extended sessions and dive-bomb abuse. The 1.625" nut width provides solid structural support.
What genres and skill levels is this guitar designed for?
The Synyster Custom-S is built for intermediate-to-professional players in metal, hard rock, djent, and progressive music. Its aggressive bridge pickup, harmonic-control neck pickup, and access-friendly fretboard suit extended soloing and rhythmic precision; it is not optimized for jazz, traditional blues, or folk styles.
What hardware and appointments does it include?
The guitar features Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut, Grover tuners, metal knurled knobs with set screws, and gold hardware throughout. The ebony fretboard includes 24 X-Jumbo frets, a 16" radius, and glow-in-the-dark side dots plus signature gold pearloid 'SYN' and 'Deathbat' inlays.
