Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this left-handed Synyster Custom-S a thick, sustaining core, while the Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbucker in the bridge pushes tight, articulate high-gain tones that stay defined under heavy distortion. The ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale add snap and clarity to fast picking, and the Sustainiac neck pickup extends notes indefinitely with Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes for controlled feedback and singing lead lines. It's aimed squarely at modern metal, hard rock, and shred-oriented lead playing, with the Floyd Rose 1500 locking system supporting aggressive bends and tremolo work.
Schecter Synyster Custom-S Lefty Guitar Distressed Satin Black
The Schecter Synyster Custom-S Left-Handed delivers an ultra-thin neck profile paired with a mahogany body engineered for precision tracking and responsive tracking through demanding recording sessions. Built for high-gain capture and articulate lead definition, this signature instrument combines premium materials with pro-level electronics that translate directly into your mix without lost clarity. The distressed satin black finish ages beautifully and masks the wear that comes with serious studio use.
Recording Performance & Fretboard Access
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, enables rapid position navigation and extended lead passages in a single take without physical fatigue affecting performance consistency. A 25.5" scale length paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 16" radius provides a familiar recording platform optimized for lead layering and overdubs, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series nut (41.3mm) maintains stable tuning across aggressive bending and tremolo automation in the DAW.
Recording Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature Humbucker in the bridge position captures thick, articulate gain ideal for modern metal production, while the neck-position Sustainiac pickup unlocks infinite sustain textures and controlled feedback through dedicated mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic)—perfect for layering atmospheric passes or sustained lead lines in the same session. A comprehensive control layout—including a 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac switch and 3-Way mode selector—gives you precise tonal command during recording, enabling both tight rhythm tracks and experimental textures without re-tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar designed for?
The Synyster Custom-S is built for intermediate to advanced and professional players. The ultra-thin neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and high-output electronics are optimized for fast lead work, extended passages, and aggressive playing styles typical of modern metal and progressive rock.
What makes the Sustainiac neck pickup different?
The Sustainiac pickup delivers infinite sustain and feedback textures with three switchable modes: Fundamental (standard sustain), Mix (blended with the bridge pickup), and Harmonic (for overtone textures). A dedicated 2-Way On-Off switch and 3-Way mode selector give you precise control over both standard and experimental tones.
Will this guitar stay in tune during heavy tremolo use?
Yes. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking nut (41.3mm) and locking tremolo bridge are engineered to maintain stable tuning across aggressive bending and tremolo work, making this platform reliable for modern metal playing styles.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The Synyster Custom-S excels in Metal, Thrash Metal, Hard Rock, and Progressive styles. The thick, articulate bridge humbucker and Sustainiac neck pickup are not ideal for Jazz, Blues, or Folk applications.
What finish is this, and will it show wear?
The distressed satin black finish is designed to age beautifully and conceal the wear that comes with serious gigging and regular use, making it practical for touring and session players.
