@aerocite No you don't. The tone is shit. It's really trebly and there's no depth to the sound at all. Besides, I would never want a guitar with another person's name on it.
I'm led to believe that the Syn Custom is built in South Korea, which is a tiny downside for me even though it's still a pretty awesome guitar. However i doubt that Syn plays a guitar made in South Korea, my guess is all his customs are made in California.
I like that the guitar that Synyster plays really ISNT that same thing. It might be SET UP the same or similar, however, his is ghost built and not really even a Schecter...
i dont get why everyone is bashing so hard on the standard...ive read reviews and talked to people that have the custom and standard guitars and they both say that arent really all that different. Ive even played both myself and havent seen much different other than the etchings on the headstock which say standard and custom
if the guy in this vid and syn love it so much why dont they marry it? jk, im probably gonna get flamed on me not having a gf/wife ect. or being a virgin but oh well, id marry it if i could, ive played em b4 at guitar center and they sound like an angelic choir metaphoriclly speaking, they kick ass

I'm sure Syn uses a Standard model as well for live and recording... Ermm... The Bat Country Instrumental video, SUMMER SONIC 07 and etc. He changes out the pickups to the SD Custom Invaders.. But the Floyd seems to be a licensed one in that guitar.. But I guess the Standard has a thinner neck... So I guess that's why he used it xD haha
omg i tryed one of these at guitar center and it was incredible one of the best ive ever played i want it but sadly can get it do to the 1000 doller price range
There is no black and gold. There is a white and gold. There are four versions of this guitar. This version in the video. The cheaper version. The white and gold version, and the black and red version.
Custom: -Set Neck(More sustain for killer solos) -Ebony Fretboard -Invader Pickups -Original Floyd Rose Standard: -Bolt-on Neck -Rose Wood Fretboard -Detonater Pickups -Licensed Floyd Rose any more questions just ask.
lol my jackson dinky has all the same stuff as thats got.. seymour duncan pickups, licenced floyd rose and locking system.. idk iff ther would b much differents tbh..
@HolyGodfather21 even though im assuming somebody already told you this, i will just in case. the the reason yours has black pickups is that you have the schecter synyster standard, but just to let you know i have the custom and my friend has the standard and they both sound pretty much the same so i wouldnt worry bout it too much :)
@xb0x360andps3, He could upgrade to the invaders that syn has on the Custom one. However, the Floyd Rose is still going to be diffrent, the standard one does not have original Floyd Rose, but a cheaper, anc easier version.
@HolyGodfather21 yours isn't the exact same. you most likely have the synyster standard. i have that one too. it has black pickups on it, cause they if im not mistaken invader pickups, not the pickups he uses
@HolyGodfather21 because u have the synyster standard not the custom! i hope u didnt pay 1000 for it cuz u got ripped cuz thats how much the synyster custom costs
@HolyGodfather21 Yours is the cheaper version. It's the SYN standard i think they call it. Your pickups are called Detonators or somethin. The SYN custom that guy is holding has Syn's Custom invaders.
@HolyGodfather21 pickups are black cause its standard version. Pretty much it looks exactly like syns but doesnt sound as good because the black pickups are cheaper.
@HolyGodfather21 the one in the video is the custom edition, if yours has black pickups, then you have the standard edition, different pickups, tremolo
@HolyGodfather21 oh simple thats because that urs is the synyster custom standard Duncan designed pickups while the synyster custom has Seymor duncan invaders,( just to be clear i do not own one of these u have a schecter hellraiser c-1 black cherry no tromolo)
@HolyGodfather21 If u have black pick ups then you dont have the Synyster gates Custom version. It has slighty better pick ups and a little better floyd rose :D
jus tune ur guitar accordingly....but his pick ups (semour duncans sry if i spelt it wrong) give a ggood sound quality i think, so that may be the difference from any ordinary guitar...but no u don't rly need a schecters to play his solos
