This is the bridge pickup from Schecter's Synyster Gates signature set, part number 6543. It is a passive humbucker built around a ceramic 8 direct-coupled tri-field magnet construction with 12 high-carbon steel socket-set adjustable pole pieces. Output measures 17.6k ohms. The baseplate is custom-milled aircraft aluminium with an industrial black powder coat finish. Wiring is a 4-conductor harness with a split-coil design, which gives you the option to coil-split or series/parallel wire during installation.

Two things decide whether this pickup fits your guitar: pole spacing and string count. This part is cut to 49mm traditional spacing — that is the measurement for neck-position spacing on most six-string guitars. If your bridge route takes a tremolo-spaced (wider) pickup, this part will leave the outer strings sitting off the pole pieces. Check your existing bridge pickup's spacing before ordering. This part is also a six-string pickup; it will not drop into a seven- or eight-string route. Beyond spacing, confirm whether your body is direct-mount or ring-mount — each requires different hardware, and the pickup does not include both.

The existing listing notes hand wax potting, which damps the internal coil vibration that causes microphonic squeal at high gain. The 4-conductor harness is what allows coil-splitting; a 2-conductor replacement would wire straight in but you would lose that option.

If you are not certain this spacing matches your guitar's bridge route, send us the make, model and year and we will confirm before you commit to the order.
