It's amazing how many people still don't know about that album or that it have a full live DVD with it that was produced and remastered for the DVD itself
@@garymaddux2000 u could say that about me, I LOVE A7X's music. First metal band I really liked when I was introduced to them back in 2016/17. I have all the albums as well. First album I bought was Nightmare
I got my Synyster Gates Custom for my 18th. My whole family chipped in for it. They are extremely versatile, you can play anything on them as long as it’s in drop D 😂
@@Danishdarwwizy I don’t think anyone knows who he/she is. I know I don’t so I don’t know why their mentioned here if they’re not related to the conversation.
@@thedog121 Well I mean, I really don’t care about Iron Maiden or anything really. Just didn’t know why the guy felt the need to to show off in a comment section. Like yea buddy, sure you have that guitar with that middle schooler spelling. 😂 Like really, I have a Mick Thomson American custom Sl2 (which is a 4000-6000 dollar guitar) but you don’t see me prancing around like a brainless doink on a site where anything can be a lie.
It's a cool looking guitar , but i was disappointed. I guess it's a personal preference , but it's got a weird rounded neck that i just couldn't get the feel i like in a neck. Plus the sustaniac isn't really worth it if you're a home player....
@@mikeg.9238 I beg to differ brotha. While it's all up to personal preference and opinion, and I'm not saying your wrong by any means. But I have the black and gold custom with the sustainiac and a 2010 white and gold with the seymour duncan invaders and they are both just simply amazing. The sustainiac helps with long drawn out divebombs as well as a long sustain when playing clean. I actually have trouble doing pinch harmonics and traditional dive bombs, so I rely on the sustainiac to help me out. At first, it did feel like cheating, but then I realized it's just another tool like a distortion pedal or a chorus pedal.
@@garymaddux2000 That's cool and i'm glad you like it , but it just didn't do it for me personally. But i'm a huge Schecter fan anyway , i had the Demon 6 and now i have the Omen Extreme and it's a killer! The next one will be the Damian or the Reaper , so it's all good. To me Schecter and Ibanez makes the best quality sounding guitars for reasonable prices...
@@mikeg.9238 I actually really love my 2009 Peavey Predator EXP Plus. I'm doing some work to it now, new pickups, paint, hardware. It's gunna be so fun
Dagan you totally can shred! A7X is my all time favorite band and syn has always been one of my guitar heroes, never owned one of his signature guitars though, might need to get one!
I had the custom S , it's a $1.400.00 guitar , it wasn't my style so i sold it. Definitely a cool looking guitar , but the FR 1000 trem sucks. Especially when you change strings , it's almost impossible to get it back in tune!
Girl I Know, Chapter Four, Unholy Confessions, Almost Easy, Shepherd of Fire, Second Heartbeat, Nightmare, and Beast and The Harlot!! I still feel like I’m missing one but I’m a huge A7X fan as well. I have the same model but mine is the white guitar with black pinstripes
I decided one random day to put mine in drop C for shit's and giggles, OMFG!!! The tuning matched the looks it was wild. If you're feeling frisky I would highly advise trying it.
I have a late 2020 Synyster Gates Custom S Black and Gold, sustainiac pickup in the neck, and a syn custom pickup at the bridge, as well as a 2010 white and gold custom with the invaders. They are both amazing in theor own way. I almost change out the neck pickup for a sustainiac on the white and gold one but decided not too after I fell inlowv with it!
I for sure wanted one of these when I was 14 - 16. The only thing putting me off was the bit SYN inlays. Kind of glad I stuck to it because I bloody HATE working with Floyd Roses lmao.
I've been wanting a fender electric because i have squire telecaster and I wanted to upgrade. That being said the thin neck on this might make my day. I'll save up for one of these
Also might get this for the pickups. I’ve always wanted the chrome invaders for one of my other guitars but ya just can’t get em anymore, plus I think brushed chrome covers would look amazing with this guitar
I was already listening to some Metallica but nothing more, but when I saw that guitar on the hail to the king music video, I really got into heavy metal, it was so dark and edgy, exactly what I was looking for, and now I have my own band 🤘
Dude i'm assuming your a young guy , do yourself a favor if you haven't already. Go back to the 80's and listen to the first 2 Metal Church albums and Savatage "Power of the night" and "Hall of the mountain king". You will not be disappointed , trust me! I was very lucky to see Metallica on the Kill em all tour , in a small club literally about 10 feet from the band , after that tour they blew up. That was back in 1983 , sick show with W.A.S.P. & Armored Saint opening....🤘✌
Long ago I had a syn gates city of Evil guitar and had no idea what I had. I remember thinking that it wasn't a real synyster gates guitar. And I sold it😭
The sustain is amazing in one had one a few years ago. Add a sustainiac switch and some Seymour Duncan invader pick ups and it's basically the same guitar that synyster uses. Along side of being a bolt on neck which is fine with me. I don't care if uts bolt on or neck through really has no effect on me.
Im new to guitars.. and want to get in the hobby. I really love the sound of this guitar. But im not willing to pay 1000$ for my first guitar. Is there a cheap alternative that sounds similar? Thank you
I gotta say i had the Synyster Gates Custom S and i wasn't feeling it like i thought i would , first off i hate FR trems and didn't like the way the neck rolls off on it. I ended up selling it and buying the Omen Extreme , and couldn't be happier. I love Schecter's but the Gates didn't do it for me....
Hey guys, I tried tuning my MM JP-6 down to C# tuning. I am using D'addario 10-52 strings. I raised the bridge a bit and adjusted the strings but the High E when in tune at C# is just way too floppy. How in the hell did Tony Iomni keep his proper using 8's on his High E?
The first riff was "Girl I Know" from 2008's Diamonds In The Rough which was the self titled albums B-side songs. I think they rule tho 🤘
Ah, a man of culture I see 😉
It's amazing how many people still don't know about that album or that it have a full live DVD with it that was produced and remastered for the DVD itself

U are so lucky

@@Danishdarwwizy I don’t think anyone knows who he/she is. I know I don’t so I don’t know why their mentioned here if they’re not related to the conversation.
It depends on setup, I have guitars in drop B and A and some in D and E Standard. Its all in the setup.

I wanted one of these so bad as a kid! But the white and gold one was always my favourite
It’s amazing isn’t it. My favourite was always the black and gold 🤘

I just got one today I found one in music go round it’s fucking sweet
@@matthewpierce6260 One of my friends in high school had one and even just holding it was awesome
@@matthewpierce6260how? I've been looking for one especially with the sustainiac pickups but can't find it anywhere
Seize the day solo \M/
its funny how no one mentionned that ''Seize the Day'' solo, you made my day now i want to learn that xD
First riff was Girl I Know from Diamonds in the Rough... 10 points please 😆
Dagan you totally can shred! A7X is my all time favorite band and syn has always been one of my guitar heroes, never owned one of his signature guitars though, might need to get one!

@@mikeg.9238the new models have a FR 1500 so you might like those more lol

You know the guy is a fan if he opens with a riff from a B-side.
Dagan is really pleasant to listen to and this demo was excellent! Great playing! I'm glad I came across it
The neck pickup sounds absolutely fantastic!
the "name that solo" was from Seize the Day from city of Evil. Utterly gorgeous to hear
Honestly he was off by so much that I barely recognized it. Love the dude but that solo has a entirely different feel to it.
You have too much fun with your job! Lol. Rock on 🤟
Sweet baby Jesus that's one of the best sounding guitars I've seen you play
Dagen - you seem happiest when playing modern metal - great chops 🤘🏼
I have the gold custom s and it is a beast. Saw him play it on the tour with Metallica and I fell in love.
Blasty profile pic goes hard. GO FLAMES
Best concert I've been to when I saw them with metallica in Toronto
@@tonydonahoe2595 - hell yeah man! C of Red for life.
Nice Medley to start the video Dagan !
I decided one random day to put mine in drop C for shit's and giggles, OMFG!!! The tuning matched the looks it was wild. If you're feeling frisky I would highly advise trying it.
The red one and the joker one are my favorites, the red guitar though is my dream guitar
What an truly A7X fans 🤘🏼👍🫶🏻
I loved the early models in the Joker purple and green pin stripes.
9:04 seize the day solo 🔥
Dagan, Girl I know was the first riff!!
I love that music, it’s heavy!
The silver black variant is my fave hands down, but things got *sexier* during the Hail to the King era when he busted out the White Gold variant
Solo at 9:20 is “seize the day” by master syn gates ofc
DAGAN IS A BEAST!!!!
I just recently picked up the gold burst custom and it has to be my favorite finish.
I waited for this video for an eternity; it’s finally here!
When younger, I wanted this so badly! But as I grew as a musician and started recording, I bought a PRS 24 and a Les Paul.
@Incesticide tea Boss gt1000, directly into the sound card.
@@Serbofreak wow, very unique. You will sound like no one else. No one has ever used that before.
@@ryderr7914 As much as you want to be sarcastic, a Les Paul offers more versatility than a Synyster custom.
@@Serbofreak 🥱
@@Serbofreak Also more time tuning lmao even a guitar with floyd rose will take you less time tuning than a fricking les paul over the years…
Forts riff Girl I know!! Finally, point. I love that riff too, from diamonds in the riff and live in lbc cd
Genuinely can’t wait to get one for myself
I have a late 2020 Synyster Gates Custom S Black and Gold, sustainiac pickup in the neck, and a syn custom pickup at the bridge, as well as a 2010 white and gold custom with the invaders. They are both amazing in theor own way. I almost change out the neck pickup for a sustainiac on the white and gold one but decided not too after I fell inlowv with it!
Finally i got one this year! Love this guitar 🤩🤩
I love your presentation style!!! and I audibly went "WOOOOOOOOOOOO BABY" at that lick @6:51 that was nastyyyyyyyyy
I for sure wanted one of these when I was 14 - 16. The only thing putting me off was the bit SYN inlays. Kind of glad I stuck to it because I bloody HATE working with Floyd Roses lmao.
I've been wanting a fender electric because i have squire telecaster and I wanted to upgrade. That being said the thin neck on this might make my day. I'll save up for one of these
Love the videos, would be amazing to see you review a custom s soon to show the key differences
pls do an a7x gear guide
Definitely needs to/WILL happen! 🤘
Also might get this for the pickups. I’ve always wanted the chrome invaders for one of my other guitars but ya just can’t get em anymore, plus I think brushed chrome covers would look amazing with this guitar
might buy the white one on reverb now
I love that headstock so much.
OKAY BUT THIS MADE MY WEEK!
I thought I heard part of the "hail to the king" riff during those "non A7X riffs" 😂. Good review. Helped me make up my mind. ✌️🤟
wow dagan love watching you play

Damn that axe sounds nice..love the tone on The city of evil album
Paradigm on Drop D sounds good
purple and green is my favorite
Long ago I had a syn gates city of Evil guitar and had no idea what I had. I remember thinking that it wasn't a real synyster gates guitar. And I sold it😭
First riff is Girl I Know, song is fuckin’ amazing.
Hell yeah!
You seem to really enjoy making this video
Was thinking about a Ibanez RG but goin to look at one of these today rock on!
You’re a great salesman/guitar man.
The sustain is amazing in one had one a few years ago. Add a sustainiac switch and some Seymour Duncan invader pick ups and it's basically the same guitar that synyster uses.

The solo is à great song, its seize the day 😉
I got that guitar I love it
That pickups are G&B. I have my own set, compare to Duncan Designed HB-108 Detonator, these pickups have more clarity, at least in my ear
girl i know!!!! ruthless tune!!!!
Good good one man ur killing it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That is one of my dream guitars dude❤️❤️😍😍🤟🏽🤟🏽😎😎
Pas sekali, gitar electric schscter ada demo cleannya. Terima kasih telah mendengar suara gitar ini dengan jelas.
Keren Synyster gate best gitar the world.. permainan gitar nya sgt berpengaruh di dunia banyak sekali yg meng cover karya karya beliau.. mantap
I like the white and gold custom 😂
Beast and the Harlot
Black & white strips with Sustainic pick ups..
Are those custom pickups using ceramics like the old invader or alnico magnet?
can we get a A7X tone video!!??
How the hell do I learn how to use my guitar the way you use this one? 😁. Do YOU have an online school with great structure and practice routines?
GIRL I FLIPPIN KNOW
Do you know any good amp settings to use for this guitar? Amp settings that were used in this video would help !
One question, I have this guitar with the same floating trem, but my bar is loose and falls out, whys that?
Im new to guitars.. and want to get in the hobby. I really love the sound of this guitar.
But im not willing to pay 1000$ for my first guitar. Is there a cheap alternative that sounds similar?
Thank you
First riff was "Girl I Know"
Plays "Girl I Know" in first riff. Things guy Avenges.
1:08 anyone know this intro? What's the name?
Shepards Of Fire! 🔥
Shepherd of fire
Is the FR special hot rod really good? Or it's better to buy the custom-s? because the custom-s has the FR 1500
What are the chances of an a7x gear guide
I gotta say i had the Synyster Gates Custom S and i wasn't feeling it like i thought i would , first off i hate FR trems and didn't like the way the neck rolls off on it. I ended up selling it and buying the Omen Extreme , and couldn't be happier. I love Schecter's but the Gates didn't do it for me....

My First comment, i love avenged sevenfold
I got one of these in August and I can get no where close to syn’s tone
What amp are you using. Syn uses a hellwin amp
I was thinking 1st riff was similar to beat and the harlot
first riff is girl i know from diamonds in the rough
These any good?
The fact that he knows "Girl I Know" tells me this guy's gonna know his shit and he'll probably be as biased as me 😅
First guitar I seen you play that don't look like a toy in your hands lol ...
First riff was "Girl I know" (-:
LEMME TELL YA BOUT A GIRL I KNOWWWWWWWWWWW (i was so surprised and confused hearing that first(Apparently M. Shadows doesn't exactly love that song))
sieze the dayyyy solo
"CRAFTED IN INDONESIA" ❤
Girl I know
Syn was you first favourite Guitar player? Jesus, the years have not been kind….
Do an ESP alexi laiho guitar !!
It’s coming soon! 🤘
First riff is “girl I know” lol
Girl I know off diamond in the rough?
what's the 2nd riff ?
Chapter four
@@noboru5138 thx
First song: girl i know
👍🤟🎸
The riff is girl I know, from the live in long Beach (diamonds in the rough) album!
Girl I Know off rip is WILD
Look at you now much a better drummer and starting guitar
