Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S - Black/Red

Metal Monster

Want sustain for weeks? The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S is your weapon of choice. The Synyster Gates Custom-S solidbody electric guitar is built to shred. Its 3-piece mahogany neck gives you the stability you need to cut loose, while a genuine Floyd Rose bridge lets you really lean into your vibrato. A Duncan Invader at the bridge awaits your command to unleash metal mayhem, while the Sustainiac driver/pickup in the neck position serves up fearsome sustain. If you're on a quest for your ultimate metal guitar, the Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S may just be it.

• Serious sustain
• Built to shred
• If looks could kill

The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S is all about sustain. There's two ways to juice sustain: pedals that modulate your guitar signal (nice try), and amp feedback (gratifying, but hard to control). Then there's Sustainiac, which gives you the best of both worlds by directly vibrating your guitar strings, simulating the effect of amp feedback, but with total control - and much more intensity.

The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S is a shredder's dream. Its 24 jumbo frets and flatter-than-Kansas ebony fingerboard give you crisp, snappy attack. Dense like maple, but with oilier pores, more brittle grain, and a stronger fundamental, ebony is the tonewood you want under your fretting fingers if you're shredding. Ebony boosts your pick attack with meaty, percussive overtones that mute out quickly, settling back into juicy sustain. Factor in the Floyd Rose, and you can readily see why the Custom-S is metal-monster to the core.

The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S looks like a serious weapon, and it is - the name says it all. With its black with silver pin stripes finish, ebony fingerboard with Death Bat inlay, and black hardware, the overall look is stylishly menacing. Shred dangerously, with the Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S.
