Description
Schecter Banshee Mach-6 Lefty Guitar in Fallout Burst
This Banshee Mach-6 Lefty sits in the hand with the ergonomic precision left-handed players need to unleash their best work. The ultra-thin 'U' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo fretboard let your fingers move through rapid position shifts and technical passages without friction. The aggressive body contours, neck-through construction, and Fallout Burst finish combine to create an instrument that holds its own under the most demanding playing styles.
Playability & Construction
The roasted maple and purpleheart multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement stays stable and resonant across venue changes and climate swings. At just .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret, the neck cradles in your palm during long sets, while the neck-through design with Ultra Access gives your hand room to work the highest frets without obstruction. The 12"–16" compound radius ebony fretboard responds consistently whether you're laying down aggressive riffs or executing precise bends, and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots keep you locked in on position no matter the stage lighting.
Hardware & Specifications
The Hipshot Ibby HM bridge and Schecter locking tuners lock in tuning under the most aggressive attack and survive the rigors of the road. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures clean string separation and lets notes ring with authority, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel gives you straightforward control over neck relief between gigs. Black chrome hardware ties the entire design together with the burst finish for a cohesive stage presence.
