Description
Schecter Banshee Mach-6 Electric Guitar Fallout Burst
The Banshee Mach-6 is built for players who demand speed without compromise. Its ultra-slim neck profile and neck-through construction deliver exceptional upper fret access and a balanced, resonant response across the entire range. With a 25.5" scale and compound fretboard radius, this guitar responds equally well to aggressive lead work and controlled rhythm playing. The striking Fallout Burst finish makes a statement on stage while backing serious, modern hard rock and metal performances.
Playability & Feel
The Ultra Thin 'U' neck profile measures .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th fret, shaped for comfort and control during extended play. Roasted maple and purpleheart construction reinforced with carbon fiber rods keep the neck stable and free from shift—critical for maintaining intonation night after night. The Ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12"-16" compound radius makes lateral movement smooth and predictable across the board. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers aid navigation in live settings, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut provides solid tonal foundation and reliable contact.
Tone & Electronics
The Lundgren M6 bridge pickup cuts through a dense mix with articulate, defined output—essential for modern high-gain applications and solos that need to stand out. Swamp ash body with flamed maple top and neck-through construction generate the sustain and resonance players rely on for powerful, controlled tones. The Hipshot Ibby HM bridge paired with Schecter locking tuners locks in your tuning under the physical demands of aggressive playing and maintains precise intonation set after set.
