This is the bridge pickup from Schecter's Synyster Gates signature set, part number 6531. It is a passive humbucker built around a ceramic 8 magnet in a direct-coupled tri-field construction, with 12 high-carbon steel socket-set adjustable pole pieces. Output measures 17.6k ohms. The pickup ships with a 4-conductor harness, which gives you the option to wire coil splits. Each unit is hand wax-potted to suppress microphonic feedback under high gain.

Two things decide whether this pickup fits your guitar. First, string count: this is a six-string pickup and is not interchangeable with seven- or eight-string units. Second, pole spacing: this version is cut for 53mm tremolo spacing. That wider spacing is necessary on tremolo-equipped guitars because the string spread at the bridge is wider than at the neck. Put a neck-spaced pickup in a bridge route and the outer strings sit off the pole pieces. If your guitar has a fixed bridge or a non-tremolo tailpiece, measure your string spread before ordering — Schecter also makes this pickup in 49mm spacing for traditional bridges. Beyond spacing, confirm whether your body uses direct-mount or ring-mount for the bridge position, as each requires different mounting hardware.

The baseplate is custom-milled aircraft aluminum with an industrial black powder coat finish. The cover is black German silver with an etched Synyster Gates logo. The magnet is ceramic 8, direct-coupled in a tri-field arrangement — a construction that maintains note separation at the output level this pickup runs.
