Description
Schecter Synyster Gates 'Syn AC-GA SC' Acoustic
The Schecter Synyster Gates SYN AC-GA SC is a signature acoustic engineered to capture warm, articulate tone with the amplified clarity needed for session and performance recording. Its slim, comfortable neck profile and jumbo body deliver balanced playability without sacrificing the projection and resonance expected from a serious acoustic instrument. The gloss black finish with silver pinstripes and pearloid gothic cross inlays signal this is an instrument designed for those unwilling to compromise on both sound and visual presence.
Playability & Recording Responsiveness
The thin 'C'-shaped mahogany neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 20 medium frets across a 25.5" scale for responsive, articulate playing that translates directly to clean recordings. Dovetail set-neck construction ensures solid coupling between neck and body for consistent vibration transfer, while the rosewood fretboard and synthetic bone nut deliver clarity and durability in a design built to withstand regular session and performance use.
Tone & Studio Electronics
The jumbo mahogany body with spruce top produces warm, full-bodied acoustic tone with natural projection ideal for tracking and layering in the mix, while the Schecter Acoustic Piezo bridge pickup feeds into a Schecter CE304T 3-Band EQ with on-board tuner for reliable direct amplification, studio interface integration, and precise tuning across takes. Chrome hardware and a rosewood bridge complete the electronics chain, offering both tonal integrity and professional-grade signal path control when recording to interface or mixing with other instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the neck, and will it feel comfortable for extended playing?
The thin 'C'-shaped mahogany neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 25.5" scale. This slim profile and moderate radius are designed for responsive, articulate playing and reduced hand fatigue during live sets or studio sessions.
Does this acoustic work plugged in, and what kind of tone shaping can I do?
Yes—it features a Schecter Acoustic Piezo bridge pickup running into a CE304T 3-band EQ with an on-board tuner, giving you reliable amplified tone and precise frequency control for stage or studio. The synthetic bone nut and rosewood bridge preserve acoustic clarity whether you play unplugged or amplified.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
This model is optimized for hard rock, metal, and live performance in intermediate to professional contexts. It is not recommended for traditional jazz, classical, or folk styles, which typically benefit from different body shapes and tonal characteristics.
What is included with the guitar, and what do I need to buy separately?
The guitar ships without a case; a Schecter SGR-13AC case is sold separately. The instrument includes the acoustic-electric guitar fully set up, with chrome hardware, Piezo pickup system, and on-board EQ and tuner ready to play out of the box.
How does the jumbo body and spruce-top mahogany construction affect the tone?
The jumbo mahogany body with spruce top delivers warm, full-bodied acoustic tone with natural projection suitable for cutting through on stage or in the studio. The dovetail set-neck construction couples the neck solidly to the body, ensuring sustained resonance and tonal balance across the fingerboard.
