Sound & Tone
A solid spruce top over rosewood back and sides gives this one a bright, cutting attack with deep low end and plenty of shimmer in the overtones, a voicing that favors strummed chords and fingerpicked arpeggios that need to ring out. The 25.5" scale keeps string tension firm for clear note definition, while the thin 'C' mahogany neck, 16" radius rosewood board and 1.693" nut suit players coming from electric guitar. The Fishman Sonicore piezo handles amplified duty with a direct, percussive plugged-in voice for stage or recording use.
Schecter Synyster Gates 'SYN GA SC' Acoustic in Trans Black Burst Satin
This Schecter Synyster Gates acoustic captures distinctive character without compromising acoustic recording integrity. The thin 'C' neck profile and comfortable 25.5" scale length support extended tracking and overdub sessions, while the satin finish resists fingerprints and delivers a professional feel. Built for producers and engineers who need visual personality and sonic clarity in a studio-ready acoustic package.
Tone & Electronics
The Spruce top paired with Rosewood back and sides produces warm, resonant acoustic tones with excellent projection—essential for tracking rhythm parts or layering textural elements. A Fishman Sonicore Piezo pickup and Fishman Isys+ EQ system with onboard tuner, volume, bass, treble, and phase switch deliver transparent amplified tone that captures the instrument's character cleanly in the mix without coloration or phase artifacts.
Playability & Construction
The Mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard and DoveTail set-neck construction ensure stable intonation and responsive playability across the 20 medium frets. A synthetic bone nut at 1.693" width supports clear string separation and definition, while the 16" fretboard radius and carefully tapered neck thickness (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) accommodate both fingerstyle tracking and aggressive picking techniques in a single take.
