Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-7 FR Headless LH- Oak Green Metallic

A Signature Custom-7 Built for the Demands of Modern Playing

This Synyster Gates Custom-7 positions itself as a performance-oriented electric guitar within Schecter's signature models: a 7-string designed to handle lower tunings while maintaining excellent definition. The headless design and Oak Green Metallic finish with Gold hardware reinforce its "modern high-end" identity, focusing on efficiency (ergonomics, access, stability) and electronic versatility thanks to the coil split feature.

Who Is It For, Which Styles, and What Feel Under the Fingers?

With its long 26.5" / 673 mm scale length and 7-string configuration, this model primarily targets intermediate to expert guitarists seeking impeccable low-end response, fast playability, and consistent feel across the entire neck. Styles naturally suited here include modern metal, progressive metal, djent, heavy hard rock, shred, as well as any context alternating heavy rhythms and expressive vibrato leads. The ultra-thin "C" profile (19 mm at the nut / 0.787", 20 mm at the 12th fret / 0.866") promotes fast transitions, wide stretches, and technical passages without fatigue.

Massive, Defined, and Versatile Tone Thanks to the Coil Split

The chambered mahogany body provides depth, a rich low-mid response, and a "full" sustain feel, while the presence of maple in the center adds attack and better clarity, particularly useful on a 7-string. The ebony fingerboard contributes to a sharp attack and excellent precision in the highs, ideal for tight palm mutes, harmonics, and fast runs. On the amplification side, the Schecter USA Synyster Gates Signature humbuckers are designed to push an amp into saturation with solid lows and a present high end, while retaining detail on complex chords. The wiring remains simple and effective: 3-position selector, Master Volume, and Master Tone with push-pull to activate the coil split for more airy and snappy tones when you want to step out of "full humbucker" mode.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To fully exploit this 7-string, plan for a reliable tuner, a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable, and a selection of plectrums (rigid if you play tight rhythms). A stable guitar stand is also recommended to protect the finish and hardware.
