Melbourne's rock and metal enthusiasts, brace yourselves! Two powerhouse signature models from Schecter—designed in collaboration with Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold—have landed at Colemans Music in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom S (1741) and the Schecter Synyster Custom (1740) are absolute weapons built for the stage and the studio. Let's dive in Bats and all as to what makes these guitars must-haves for any serious shredder.
Schecter Synyster Gates Custom S (1741): Infinite Sustain, Infinite Possibilities
Finish: Gloss Black with Silver Pin Stripes
Body: Mahogany – delivering rich, warm, and resonant tones.
Neck: Ultra-Thin "C" profile, mahogany construction reinforced with carbon fibre for ultimate stability.
Key Features:
- Synyster Gates Signature Humbuckers
- High-output pickups deliver blistering distortion with remarkable clarity, perfect for cutting through even the densest mix.
- Floyd Rose 1500 Series Tremolo
- This premium bridge allows for deep dive-bombs and subtle vibrato while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability.
- Sustainiac Pickup in the Neck Position
- The standout feature of the Custom S, the Sustainiac offers endless sustain, turning solos into soaring symphonies and adding atmospheric depth to any riff.
The Custom S is the ultimate playground for guitarists who crave experimental sounds. Whether you're layering ambient textures or bending notes into infinity, this guitar delivers.
Schecter Synyster Custom (1740): Pure Power and Precision
Finish: Gloss Black with Silver Pin Stripes
Body: Mahogany – the perfect wood for a balanced tone with rich mids and a smooth low end.
Neck: Ultra Access set-neck design, ensuring effortless playability all the way up to the 24th fret.
Key Features:
- Synyster Gates Signature Humbuckers
- Like its sibling, these pickups offer searing output and crisp articulation—ideal for bone-crushing riffs and face-melting solos.
- Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo
- Built for precision tremolo action, this bridge is perfect for metalheads who need both reliability and dynamic expressiveness.
Unlike the Custom S, the Synyster Custom focuses on raw, unadulterated power. Without the Sustainiac, it offers a streamlined setup for guitarists who want to focus on shredding and heavy riffing.
Iconic Aesthetics & Shared Features
Both models boast Avenged Sevenfold's iconic "Deathbat" inlays and sleek Gloss Black finishes with Silver Pin Stripes. The striking visuals, combined with premium hardware and Schecter's excellent pickups, make these guitars everything you would expect from a Schecter Signature Model Guitar.
