Description
Schecter Synyster Gates Custom 6 TR-S Headless Guitar Satin Black
The Synyster Gates Custom 6 TR-S is engineered for studio tracking and live recording sessions where precision and tonal control matter. Its headless design and ultra-thin "C" neck profile reduce physical fatigue during extended takes while delivering a resonant, sustained tone that sits solidly in dense mixes. The chambered mahogany body with maple cap construction balances acoustic resonance with studio-friendly weight distribution, making it responsive to both aggressive picking and subtle dynamic expression.
Playability & Recording Design
A 3-piece mahogany set neck with ultra-thin "C" profile and 1st-to-12th fret thickness of 19mm to 20mm enables precise fretting across the 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and 16-inch radius ebony fretboard—critical for capturing clean, articulate recordings without fret noise. The Hipshot headless tremolo bridge with dual-action truss rod and two carbon fiber reinforcement rods ensures rock-solid tuning stability across multiple takes, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42mm x 6mm) optimizes sustain and harmonic clarity for layered tracking sessions.
Tone & Electronics for Mixing Flexibility
The Schecter USA Synyster Gates signature humbucker in the bridge position paired with a Sustainiac pickup in the neck position delivers aggressive, high-output tones with virtually limitless sustain—ideal for both punchy rhythm takes and expressive lead work that cuts through a mix. Volume and tone controls with a 3-way lever selector provide real-time tonal adjustment during sessions, allowing quick pivot between pickup blending and frequency shaping without re-recording, while chrome hardware contributes to the instrument's articulate, defined character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the headless design practical for gigging and recording?
The headless Hipshot tremolo bridge eliminates the weight and bulk of a traditional headstock, making the guitar noticeably lighter and more balanced for extended playing sessions. The dual-action truss rod with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods and rock-solid bridge system ensure tuning stability and intonation hold through long gigs and studio takes.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
This instrument is engineered for metal, progressive, hard rock, and extended-range styles where aggressive sustain, tight articulation, and dynamic expressiveness are essential. Its high-output electronics and resonant chambered body make it less suitable for jazz, blues, or country applications.
Can you describe the pickup configuration and tone shaping options?
The guitar pairs a Schecter USA Synyster Gates signature humbucker in the bridge position with a Sustainiac pickup in the neck, unlocking high-output aggression and virtually limitless sustain. Volume and tone controls with a 3-way lever selector let you quickly blend pickups and shape tone on the fly.
What are the neck specifications and fretboard details?
The 3-piece mahogany set neck features an ultra-thin "C" profile measuring 19mm to 20mm from 1st to 12th fret, paired with a 16-inch radius ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets for fast, fluid playability. The 25.5-inch scale and Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut deliver clarity and sustain.
Is this guitar suitable for professional studio and live touring use?
Yes—the professional-grade Hipshot headless system, dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods, and signature electronics are engineered for the demands of advanced and professional players in studio and touring environments. The lightweight, ergonomic design and rock-solid hardware make it reliable for both long recording sessions and intensive stage work.
