Looks that Kill on the Schecter Synyster Custom
The Schecter Synyster Custom is a well-sharpened axe with enough cutting tone to please even the most demanding shredsman. Featuring a set Mahogany neck with a familiar Fender-esque 25 1/2-inch scale length carefully set into a Mahogany body, the Synyster Custom's neck at once feels comfortable and fast. The fun doesn't stop there because, true to form, Mr. Gates tricked the 24-fret Rosewood fretboard out with binding (black on the black model, white on the white model) and super custom, super cool inlays. Even the headstock on the Schecter Synyster Custom gets the A7X treatment, thanks to a demonic skull wearing a top hat inlay, a Synyster truss rod cover, and hardware color-matching Grover tuners for the perfect combination of tuning stability and devilish good looks. You strap the Schecter Synyster Custom on and there's no mistaking that you mean business, and business is good.
If you haven't "picked up" on it by now, every little feature on the Schecter Synyster Custom has been given the Custom treatment, and the pickups are no exception. You'll find a pair of Seymour Duncan SH8 Invader Humbuckers in the bridge and neck position, but instead of the usual matte black pole pieces, the Schecter Synyster Custom has been given pole pieces to match the hardware of the guitar - either gold or polished chrome, depending on the model. These powerful ceramic pickups are perfect for brandishing the hard-edged style of rock and metal that A7X have built their career on, all controlled by a volume pot, tone pot, and 3-way selector switch. Couple that with a Floyd Rose vibrato and locking nut system, and the Schecter Synyster Custom is capable of nuclear reactor dive bombs and the speediest of palm-muted chunk fests with nary a worry of tuning instability.
Schecter Synyster Custom: The Sunday Best
What would a signature custom model guitar be without a selection of signature, custom finishes? The Schecter Synyster Custom is available in two different finishes: Black with Silver Pimp Stripes and White with Gold Pimp Stripes. Pimp stripes, what are those? Have you ever seen someone just rock a 3-piece suit, maybe even with some sort of fancy hat? Chances are that suit had pimp stripes on it, and slinging the Schecter Synyster Custom really is as close as you're going to get to having a guitar make you feel like you're wearing said 3-piece suit. And if you decide to go with the White finish, you'll even be given a Schecter hardshell case to protect your new investment... nice!
