The Schecter Research Synyster Gates Custom-S Solidbody Electric Guitar was created for Avenged Sevenfold's Synyster Gates and built to withstand his intense playing style. Featuring a super-hot Schecter Synyster Gates signature humbucker and Sustainiac humbucker in the neck position, this ax provides endless sustain and effortless feedback for a tone that screams. With a genuine Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo bridge, you'll have ultimate control over pitch for rock-solid tuning stability during dives and pulls.

Signature Pickups Deliver Pummeling Tone

The high-output Schecter Synyster Gates signature humbucker at the bridge position features ceramic-8 magnets for blistering output with cut. Blended with the Sustainiac neck humbucker, you'll achieve a tone that pulverizes. The Sustainiac pickup offers three switchable infinite-sustain modes for mind-bending sonic effects.

Floyd Rose Bridge Enables Extreme Techniques

The Synyster Gates Custom-S comes equipped with a Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo bridge, allowing extreme dives and pulls while maintaining tuning accuracy. Experience the tight response and reliability needed for aggressive playing styles.

Fast Neck and Ultra Access Heel

The Synyster Gates Custom-S has a 3-piece mahogany set neck with an Ultra Access heel for fast playing along the 24-fret ebony fingerboard. The 25.5" scale length and rounded 14" radius are built for huge bends and wide vibrato.

Stylish Appointments and Ergonomic Body

Outfitted with a satin gold burst finish and black hardware, the contoured mahogany body on the Synyster Gates Custom-S provides comfort and balance. Glow-in-the-dark side dots light your way on dark stages while 'Syn' inlays and a Death Bat adorn the 12th fret.
