Description

Edit description

The Schecter Synyster Gates Signature Synyster Custom is not just another electric guitar; it's a machine crafted for the modern metal guitarist. Designed in collaboration with Avenged Sevenfold's lead guitarist, Synyster Gates, this guitar is the embodiment of his aggressive style and technical precision. Featuring a Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo bridge, this instrument ensures unparalleled pitch control and tuning stability, allowing for extreme dive-bombs and soaring pitch raises without missing a beat.

Synyster Gates' custom US-wound Schecter pickups, equipped with ceramic-8 magnets, offer a blistering high output that cuts through mixes with ease while maintaining clarity and articulation. With its ultra-thin C-shaped neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets, the Synyster Custom provides the speed and comfort needed for shredding solos and complex riffs. The glow-in-the-dark side dots are a thoughtful addition for those dark stages, ensuring you never lose your way.

The guitar's body is crafted from mahogany, providing a rich, resonant tone, and its ebony fretboard offers a slick, fast playing surface. Unique stylistic touches like the "Syn" and Death Bat inlays highlight its edgy aesthetic. Whether you're performing on stage or jamming in the studio, the Synyster Custom is built to deliver unmatched performance and style.
