Synyster Custom Review

Just so you can get a basic idea of what the Guitar sounds like before you buy one/ if you want to buy one. This is not for skill, but for tone, so don't get mad that i didn't play a real song,lol.

Minimal editing and scene cuts ftw!

This guitar is amazing
I used a Marshall MG 50 with the 4 way foot switch for this demo.

and for those of you who dont know what coil tapping is:

Coil Tap
In general a coil tap is an access point somewhere along the wire that is wound in a coil or transformer. The tap could be anywhere along the wire, and the resulting voltage present at the tap will be related accordingly. Transformers may have their coils tapped to provide different voltages in a power supply that may be required for the operation of some device, for example. A coil may also be tapped at its halfway point, which in effect produces two coils of equal size. If the middle point is connected to ground, or some zero voltage reference, the two ends of the coil will appear to have equal, but opposite in polarity, voltages with respect to that center tap. The is one way balanced or differential signals can be created. Similar results can be achieved by taking a tap from a point between two identical coils wired in series with one another. In guitars a coil tap is a case of the latter. Humbuckers, or dual coil guitar pickups generally produce a fatter, warmer sound than their single coil counterparts. However, single coil pickups are known for their crisp and bright sound, and also for their propensity to pick up stray EMI. By the late 1970s manufacturers realized that musicians wanted both kinds of sound - crisp and bright along with fat and warm - and so they developed ways to split the coils, which is known as coil tapping. A selection between dual coil (humbucking) and single coil is provided by some type of switch on the guitar. Normally selection of the coil tapped mode causes one of the coils of a dual coil pickup to be turned off, and the signal is obtained between the other coil and the "tap," thereby making it into a single coil pickup. There are some other, more sophisticated designs that allow the single coil sound to be achieved without giving up the second coil -- and thus the benefit of humbucking -- but those techniques aren't, by definition, considered coil tapping, though they may be referred to as such.

No external effects in this video, its just straight out of my Marshal MG 50FX. and I can't remember the exact settings at the moment, but I think I might have been using a slight bit of reverb and a tinge of chorus on the clean part. I don't have a clue about the distortion,lol.

one thing I did notice is when you say neck/bridge pickup the toggle switch is in the opposite place to where you say it is?. For example at 4.40 "you say now on the neck pickup" and the toggle switch is pointing all the way down?

@lewisstorer89 OMG. I i just realized that, I was completely wrong. Now i gotta make annotations to fix that. Thanks for bringing that up!

[illchild316]

wow man that guitar sounds bad ass....if you dont mind me asking how much was it and what pickups are in it?

[ItachiCat]

@illchild316 $850, sh8 invader pickups at neck and bridge

[tmblacktrack]

@ItachiCat where'd you get it for $850 at?!?!?!

Also to solve that buzzing problem, i had it before and it can be solved. The problem is caused by either cheap cables, loose input or output jack, and sometimes bad wiring in the input jack port.

@tmblacktrack ebay and thanks for the tip

[rage906]

dude please what effects and amp do u use?

[benjaminrocker4098]

Great video! Kudos. Appreciate it

[lewisstorer89]

@ItachiCat thats ok mate easy mistake to make. When reviewing pickups the amount of time you have to say neck/bridge pickup its no wonder it happens lol
