Get to know them!

There are metal guitars, and then there's the Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S solidbody electric guitar. If you're looking for an axe that can withstand the brutal riffing and impossible solos of its namesake, this is the guitar for you. A super-hot Schecter Synyster Gates signature humbucking pickup and Sustainiac humbucker in the neck position provide a solid base for riffing and let you pull off solos that sing forever. And since the Synyster Gates Custom-S also comes equipped with a genuine Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo bridge, you're all set for ultimate pitch control and rock-solid tuning stability.

Crafted for high-tech performance

From its outrageous lines to the 25.5" scale length, the Gates Custom-S is built to dish out down-tuned, high-gain riffing. Its 3-piece mahogany neck is carved to a fast profile with great access to all 24 frets. And its ebony fretboard is rounded to a 14" radius, letting you grab those huge bends and wide vibrato. Finally, the guitar's extreme contours ensure this guitar is as balanced and comfortable as it is aggressive. If metal is your thing, you really can't go wrong with this instrument.

Powerful and flexible pair of humbuckers

You'll be hard pressed to beat the sustain and attack you'll get out of this guitar's high-output Schecter Synyster Gates signature humbucking pickup at the bridge position. This high-output pickup design features ceramic-8 magnets for higher output while retaining plenty of upper-harmonic cut. Blend that with the Sustainiac pickup in the neck position, and you are in total control of a searing tone. If you're looking to get pulverizing sound out of your playing with notes that sing forever, the Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S is hard to beat.

Genuine Floyd Rose 1500 bridge

Schecter knows that players who prefer the heavier side of music demand absolute performance from their guitars. That's why they loaded the Synyster Gates Custom-S with a Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo bridge. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you dive and pull up to the extreme while never having to worry about tuning accuracy. You'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need when you strap on the Synyster Gates Custom-S.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
