Problems electronics

So I recently disovert some problems with my schecter synyster custom-s. The first problem being that I get microphonic feedback from my bridge pickup. I thought it was the pickup but a couple of days later my sustainiac also started to sound microphonic. My pickup selector also does some weird things where it seems like my bridge pickup sounds very quiet. It made me think that it might not be the pickups but maybe something else.
Anyone who can help me out with this problem?

Schecter synyster gates standsrd peoblem

So in december last year i bought my sny standard. I loved it sooo much, but soon i had my 1st problem. Guitar pickups when switched just turned down low, and it was so random. Later i sent it to guitar service, and it was a switch problem, and it was easily repaired.
Now a couple of weeks back i discovered, and idk if it was always like that, but tone konb seemed to to absolutely nothing untill fully turned down. Idk is it supposed to do that, and if it is not do you have any idea what might be the problem?
Thank you!

I mean ik i will get there, cuz some time ago, sweet chil o mine or *THAT* lick in tornado of souls seemed untouchable but now i play it fine( with enuf string oil😂😂) so, I don't know why i wrote this.....but i just felt like it ... sorry for wasting y'all's time

Year 2

This day last year I made a post about being here for a year and I wanted to do another one for this year. Last year I left a message for anyone new to learning to never give up but this year I've taken that message seriously. During the months I was too sick to even think about playing guitar I decided to start reading about music theory and taking notes, when I came back I realized I lost the ability to play like I used to and had to start practicing a lot more frequently. Now I am almost back to how I was before I got sick and have been writing/releasing music nonstop. To anyone out there recovering from illness or just decided to take a break from playing and want to get back to it: Don't lose hope, You got this! If you believe in yourself you can do whatever you set your mind to! 🥳

Let’s see those axes!!

First post here! I was looking back at some old photos and found one of the day I got my schecter syn custom! Unfortunately, I sold the guitar after about a year to help buy my children Christmas but hopefully one day I’ll pick up another one!! What syn models do y’all have and what’s your favorite?

New Dating App for Synners? 🤔

I saw the title for Jak's post that said "NEW LIVE CHAT FOR SYNNERS!" and thought it was something different before reading her post. The title gave me an idea. What about a dating app for Synners???

Make a 6 string sound like 8

I know. Weird title. So my boyfriend showed me the song Doom BFG Division by Mick Gordon. I really wanna learn the guitar part for him but I don't have an 8 string guitar.....yet. So is there a way to make 6 strings sound like 8 or transpose the tab somehow? The strings from lowest to highest are EBEADGBE. Maybe just tune the A up to a B? I know it won't sound the exact same but I would like to try. Thanks fam.

Issuing a challenge

Long time no see, $ynners! I have made a goal for myself and I also want to create a goal and challenge for each of YOU, as well. I've just posted THIS video with details, but I thought it'd be fun to create a thread and really get some fun going again.


What I want YOU to do is as follows: No matter what skill level you are, learn and practice a song for a week. Then upload a video at the end of the week of your progress or playthrough the whole song. I don't want perfect. I want RAW and UNEDITED. Leave your mistakes in as I have in the part I have trouble with in the included video. The one RULE I have... YOU HAVE TO HAVE FUN. I don't care about the mistakes, but I better see you having a blast and jamming like you're having a mini-concert in your shower! (You know we all do it...Don't even try it.) Then please post your video here, so we can all see and interact with you! And don't worry, we will only leave kind comments and improvements and give you lots of love.

So here is what I'm doing. I put off this song for the longest time... (I hurt my hand...been depressed, and have been working full time...blah blah blah) but I know I can do it now. A Ray of Light is my goal song for the week. I will play through it completely and upload my video next Sunday. See ya shortly! ❤️

Guitar Synyster Gates custom S whammy bar won't stay in

Hi, my whammy bar on my custom S won't stay in. So I screwed it in the day I got it, then I got it out again using the little hex key it came with. But now that in trying to put it back in, it won't stay in. When I looked inside the small hole the key is supposed to go in to, it doesn't have the same connection point anymore that was there before so now when I put the hex key in there, it doesn't do anything. Did something break or fall out or something? Thanks

NEW LIVE CHAT FOR SYNNERS!

Whaddup Synners?

Jak and CJ here!

We have been lurking on the school for a while now and we feel like the school could get some fire back.
Polish_20230422_215432822.jpg

One of the biggest aspects of this school is the sense of community that got us all hooked from the start. One of the things that would spontaneously happen in the good old days were meetings with school members in which we would just talk. Of course, it all somehow led back to music and our beloved 6 or 7 or however many, stringed friends. But we cherished that space in which we could put faces to those usernames and exchange interesting ideas.

In that spirit, we have been thinking about rebooting those spontaneous meetups, but in a more structured and consistent way. Therefore, we hereby, want to wholeheartedly introduce you to……..*Drum roll please*……..

WORLDS COLLIDE!

Worlds Collide, a safe space where people can exchange their world views on any topic that might come up. This idea was born from talks we had in which we would discuss random topics as they came up and we would like to keep doing that but actually doing it for the school.

BUT THERE'S A BIG ASPECT OF THIS! We want to hear YOU talk! We may be the hosts of this panel, but we want to hear your voice as well! Speak your mind in a safe place free of judgements, and let's get to know the new faces of Synner and rekindle past friendships!

Therefore, we kindly invite you to our first meeting and encourage you to join and participate if you like!

Avenged Sevenfold recently released "Nobody" and pretty much divided fans straight down the middle. So our first meeting will be talking about Nobody; what we liked and disliked, the fan reaction and more. But we want to hear YOUR thoughts, too!
AND...
Let’s have a Forum in which we all can discuss different topics. Be it music, gear, pop culture, social issues or whatever else comes to mind.

First meeting is: Saturday, April 29th at
12pm-1pm CST
7pm GMT+1

Building a guitar

Hi everyone! Hope you feel great! I want to try to build my own God damn heavy guitar using hand tools (I don't have access to anything other than a streigth line cutter). It will be wild AF but I want to take the time and patience to build a really nice, playable 7 string guitar. Let me use bullet points for what I want because it will be easier to navigate in it. Btw is Avenger style copyrighted by Schecter? I hope not.

# of strings: 7
# of frets: 24
Scale: 673mm (26.5')

Design: neck through
Style: Schecter Avenger

Neck: oak wood
Body: oak wood
Top: ash wood
Fretboard: rosewood

Truss rod: 590mm two way Göldo VS44B
Harley Benton locking nuts (4R, 3L)
Floyd Rose 7 string Special (I don't have enough money for now, later will be upgraded to Pro ver.)
Frets: Göldo WS210 Jumbo Fret Wire

Neck pickup: Sustainiac Stealth Pro (still don't know if I want to go into it)
Bridge pickup: Fishman Fluence Modern high output
Pots: 1 volume (provided by Fishman Fluence Modern set)
1 tone PP (also from the set)
Switches: 3 way switch
Sustainiac AUX 2 switches
High Frequency Tilt toggle switch (not provided - need to buy separate)
Jack: 9 pin (provided by Sustainiac)
Battery box: Gotoh 9V BB-04W

I am still thinking how I can do my personal position marks. I want to do the heartbeat graph as marks with one big heart taking 12th fret (it will not be bigger) and two small at 24th fret, both at different end of fretboard. Of course there would be a line going through the whole fretboard. If it would be possible, everything will be white except hearts and all of it should glow in the dark.
For a side dots, I am not sure if I want to try to put them in but they should be white and also glow in the dark.

For last, I want to do a ceruse finish on the ash top, not sure if red cracks and black wood, or blue cracks and black wood, or yellow cracks and black wood. Other parts should have the classic smooth gloss finish without any colour added to it, but now I am thinking that I will paint just the body in black.

For a use, I would have the guitar tuned in A standard (one step down) with Korn 10-65. If I would not like them, I will go into D'addario NYXL 10-64.

Thanks for any suggestions and have a nice day.

Possessed Sinner/Sam for short.
