Schecter Synyster Custom-S Distressed Satin Black

The Schecter Synyster Custom-S Distressed Satin Black at a glance

Synyster Gates - the lead guitarist of metalcore veterans Avenged Sevenfold - has always relied on instruments from Schecter. This is also the case with the Schecter Synyster Custom-S Distressed Satin Black, which is completely designed for hot metal sounds, both in terms of sound and appearance. Thanks to the handy Ultra Access Neck Heel, the guitar in the elegant Avenger Offset look allows amazingly easy access to the highest positions of the ebony fingerboard, which is fitted with 24 extra jumbo frets. From an electronic point of view, a combination of a tried-and-tested Schecter USA Synyster Gates humbucker in the bridge position and a Sustainiac in the neck position is used: the former stands for enormous Output and maximum tightness, while the Sustainiac provides wicked effects such as violin-like Volume swells and endless Sustain. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo offers additional technical possibilities, while the artificially aged distressed satin Black does not impress with its ultra-smooth feel and skillfully underlines the brute attitude of the instrument.
