Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Limited Edition Dark Night is a limited-run graphic-finish variant within Schecter's Synyster Gates signature guitar line, distinguished by a dark, night-themed finish and artwork produced in restricted quantities. It carries Gates' signature platform specifications, offering the same tonal and playability foundation as other Synyster Gates models with this variant's distinctive limited-edition cosmetic treatment.
