Schecter · electric guitar
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.
