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
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or can it handle other genres?
This guitar is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent styles. The high-output electronics and aggressive tone profile are optimized for heavy music and are not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk.
What makes the neck comfortable for long playing sessions and fast lead work?
The ultra-thin 'C' neck shape is reinforced with carbon fiber rods, reducing fatigue during extended passages. The 25.5" scale length and 16" fretboard radius provide a familiar platform for rapid position shifts, while the 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on ebony support aggressive bending and technique.
What is the Sustainiac neck pickup and how do I use it?
The Sustainiac neck pickup unlocks infinite sustain and experimental feedback textures with dedicated Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic mode switching. A 2-Way On-Off switch and 3-Way mode selector let you control when and how the sustain effect engages for creative tonal options.
What tuning stability can I expect from the Floyd Rose system?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking nut (41.3mm width) paired with the Floyd Rose 1500 locking tremolo bridge ensures stable tuning across aggressive bending, tremolo use, and the dynamic playing demands of modern metal.
What is the 'distressed' finish and how does it affect the guitar?
The distressed satin black finish is a cosmetic treatment that gives the guitar a worn, played-in appearance. It does not affect tone, playability, or durability—only the visual aesthetic.
