The Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S is a core model in Schecter's Synyster Gates signature guitar line, built with Gates' specified pickup configuration and neck profile for the aggressive lead and rhythm playing style he's known for in Avenged Sevenfold. As the standard "Custom-S" designation, it serves as a baseline platform within the broader Synyster Gates catalog, distinct from the numerous limited graphic-finish variants built on the same specifications.
The Schecter Synyster Gates "RED RUM" is a graphic-finish variant within Schecter's Synyster Gates signature guitar line, finished with striking red-and-black artwork referencing the palindrome "RED RUM" ("murder" spelled backwards), a nod to horror-film imagery. It carries Gates' signature platform specifications, offering the same tonal and playability foundation as other Synyster Gates models with this variant's distinctive horror-themed cosmetic treatment.
