Description
Schecter Banshee GT FR Electric Guitar Satin Trans Blue B-Stock 2202
The Banshee GT FR delivers a fast, comfortable playing experience with its Ultra Thin "U" neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo provides stable tuning and expressive pitch control for both studio work and the stage, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access ensures smooth upper-fret playability on those demanding lead passages. B-stock condition with minor cosmetic wear; the instrument is fully functional and ready to play.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale paired with a 14" fretboard radius creates a balanced, responsive feel for both lead work and rhythm playing. Carbon fiber reinforcement rods in the 3-piece maple neck provide rock-solid stability and eliminate neck movement during aggressive playing sessions, while the thin profile (.748" at the 1st fret, .787" at the 12th) allows fast hand positioning and reduces fatigue across long gigs. On stage or in the studio, the neck stays put and plays true night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60 neck pickup combination delivers the articulate highs and thick lows necessary for cutting through a mix, controlled via a volume/tone 3-way switch configuration. The mahogany body with flamed maple top and set-neck construction contribute to sustained resonance and clear harmonic definition—essential for live clarity and recording punch.
