Schecter Tuners

These high quality tuners feature a classic design in a lubricated and sealed housing to protect gears for a lifetime of maintenance free playability. Details include a 15:1 gear ratio for smooth and precise tuning, removable knobs, threaded hex peghead bushing, and a 10 mm diameter peg hole.

Ebony Fingerboard

Ebony has a snappy, crisp attack with the density of Maple, but with more brittle grains, oilier pores, and a stronger fundamental tone read more than maple. It has a tremendous amount of percussive overtones in the pick attack, that mute out shortly thereafter to foster great, long, sustain

Seymour Duncan Invaders SH-8 Pickups

Designed for the heaviest tones a passive pickup can produce. The combination of three ceramic magnets, over-wound coils and twelve black oxide cap screws make the Invader an electrifying force of energy. The wide magnetic field pumps power into your amp with a totally heavy sound.

3-piece Mahogany Neck

Made with 3 pieces of mahogany for extra stability. 3 piece necks can withstand the test of time. Where standard necks may show aging defects from temperature and moisture changes throughout the years, the 3 piece neck will stay nice and straight for a lifetime of playability.

Original Floyd Rose Tremolo

The Floyd Rose tremolo system is used by more professionals throughout the world than any other. No copy can duplicate the patented double-locking design of the Floyd Rose tremolo system that allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge. The Floyd Rose tremolo system is engineered like no other tremolo system.

Schecter Synyster Special Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Overall it is a great guitar. There is a nice sound and feel to it. The contoured body is ok, but would much rather have it flat like a synyster custom. Invader pick-ups produce a deep heavy sound and it responds very well to any playing style. It felt very heavy at first but the more I played it the better everything with it got. You can really notice a difference in this guitar as compared to others.
