Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this guitar a thick, focused midrange foundation, while the ebony fretboard adds tightness and attack to each note. The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature bridge humbucker pushes aggressive, articulate high output with clear harmonics, making it well suited to metal rhythm work and cutting lead lines, and the Sustainiac neck pickup opens up infinite sustain and controllable harmonic feedback through its Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes. With 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius, an ultra thin neck, and a Floyd Rose 1500 locking system, it's built for fast shred passages, wide vibrato, and dive-bomb whammy work that stays in tune.
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 dimensions does the Synyster Custom-S have, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The Ultra Thin C neck measures 0.748 inches at the first fret and 0.787 inches at the 12th fret, paired with a three-piece mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods for stability without warp. The thin profile and 16-inch fretboard radius are designed specifically to reward extended playing sessions with genuine comfort and smooth access to higher positions.
How do the two pickups work together, and what is the Sustainiac neck pickup for?
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature bridge humbucker delivers aggressive, articulate output with natural harmonic clarity for rhythm and lead work. The Sustainiac OEM SYN neck pickup generates infinite sustain and harmonics via a dedicated 2-way on-off and 3-way mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), controlled by a 9-volt battery, giving you expressive harmonic control and tonal shaping unavailable on standard single pickups.
How stable is the tuning, especially for heavy bend and dive-bomb techniques?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut system locks tuning with precision, supported by Grover tuners for stable, accurate tuning through extended sessions and dive-bomb abuse. The set-neck construction and carbon fiber-reinforced three-piece mahogany neck also resist warp and preserve tuning integrity over time.
What genres and skill levels is this guitar designed for?
The Synyster Custom-S is built for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent players at intermediate, advanced, and professional levels. It is not optimized for traditional jazz, folk, or blues; its voice and design are engineered specifically for aggressive, articulate, and harmonic-rich playing styles.
What fretboard and fret specifications does it have?
The guitar features an ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and a 16-inch radius, enabling smooth access to higher positions and fast, confident navigation. Glow-in-the-dark side dots and signature gold pearloid inlays provide both functional fretboard guidance and visual distinction.
