Not sure what year it was made, probably made in Asia or China. 22 Fretts, solid guitar with 2 volume, and 2 tones. Pickup configuration is 2 humbuckers it appears that the frettboard is rosewood and the body is probably alder, mahogany or agathis. The finish is Ivory white and the inlays are pearl blocks. It has a tunomatic/ stopbar tailpiece style bridge. The tuners are sealed and stay in tune decently.

I play rock/metal music, with some better pickups it could sound good I think.

N/A The guitar seems to be an older model so most likely the setup is not original.

This guitar does really well considering it is made by synsonics, I think with some new pickups and some better tuners it could easily hold up to playing on stage, no doubt. The finish is real durable and the overall build of the guitar is very solid.

I have been playing for 8 or 9 years now, and I would say this is one rare guitar, they didn't seem to be in production very long and the synsonics website has been non existant for some time now. If I recall properly the last ones that were made sold for aproximately 350.00(U.S.) and featured vine inlays on the frettboard. Overall it seems to be a great guitar.

No idea when it was made, but i think it was built in asia. It has a 23 fret neck, with 2 humbuckers and your standard speed dials (like the real les pauls). I really have no idea what kind of neck it has, but its got a rosewood fretboard and a beautifull tree of life inlay on it.

I use this guitar for metal, so the stock crap humbuckers went in the trash, and i put in a set of emg actives (81/85) and now it kicks ass with a heavy set of strings (i use Zack Wilde 11-70 gage strings). The only problem with the sound is that there is alot of noise when it is distorted, so alot of muting of strings you dont want ringing is necessary.

As far as i can tell it is a fine guitar, even though it is pretty old it has aged well
