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?
Let’s see those axes!!

I don't have any Syn models - they're just not my jam. But I do have a few that I quite like.
Here is my family picture and speaking of family...Welcome!!
Welcome! I got these, the furthest to the left is broken, other Spanish guitar is in the shed with 3 strings now. My Electric, I took the sticker off and the screws don't stay anymore where the cable goes, so I put tape on it.
Welcome to the family/school! I've got one Syn model which I think will be my last unless I snag a hard tail version as I just don't use/enjoy working with the floyd rose's.
My first guitar, an Ibanez RG6003FM that's been modified a bit electronics wise.
My Schecter Synyster Gates Custom S I bought from James Brown, the designer of the Peavey 5150 and Syn's Hellwin amps.
This was a gift from Syn to James as a thanks for designing his Hellwin amps. I bought it from James in Oct 2020 2 weeks after EVH passed. It's also autographed by James. This guitar will never leave my collection.
Then I got my Sterling 4 string bass
Then I got an Ibanez GIO 7 string that I can't find a pic of currently lol.
My most recent acquisition has been an Epiphone Matt Heafy MKH Origins 7 string. An absolute killer guitar from one of my biggest guitar heroes.

Dude wtf is that shark guitar that thing is so cool never seen anything like it
Love the Ormsby and Kiesel love, I am curious about the plain explorer shaped one? What's the story/name of that one? Reminds me of the plain/minimalistic Ibanez Meshuggah signatures.
That’s a one-off, totally unique. It’s a mixture of two Ibanez models - the Iceman and the Destroyer, so it’s sorta called a “Destroyerman.” Paul Gilbert had Ibanez make him a couple of these in the late 80s but they never went production.
This guy who does a lot of pickguards and other custom parts made it and sold it on eBay, and I felt lucky. It’s a mahogany body with a zebrawood neck in a fairly close Jem shape, stainless frets and Evolution pickups.
Definitely the most unique guitar I own, but I’m not super comfortable with how it lays, so I only play it sitting down. It’s a good rhythm guitar.
I was wondering about the Ibanez influence, that makes a lot of sense. I think I've seen the guitars you're referencing of Paul's. I think he just sold one of them here recently. Some cool specs on it! How heavy is it? I feel like the mahogany body would definitely make it a chunky boi lol. Yeah, the explorer shape isn't my cup of tea for sitting. I just sold my Schecter E-1 FR S recently to cover part of a trip but also to get it to someone who appreciates explorer shaped guitars more. I play in the classical position which this guitar wasn't comfy in haha. Also to not have to do floyd rose maintenance haha.
I don't notice a lot of weight, so it's less than my Les Paul. Maybe about the same as the PRS or the JP-15?
Not gonna lie…I would 1000% play this ! Just need to add in a Gru bass and it’ll be a perfect set !
This is by far my favorite guitar. She was a gift from my husband and I absolutely adore her unique sound. You can’t tell in this photo, but the outer ring of the body is a deep purple that is absolutely gorgeous in person.
