Description
Schecter Banshee Mach-7 FR-S Lefty Guitar Fallout Burst
This left-handed seven-string is built for players who demand extended range without sacrificing neck feel or stage reliability. The Banshee Mach-7 FR-S pairs a razor-thin, ultra-accessible neck with innovative Sustainiac technology—a serious platform for progressive metal, djent, and experimental playing. The Fallout Burst finish commands visual attention, backed by equally commanding sonic character that cuts through any mix.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin "U"-shaped neck measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th, paired with a 26.5" scale and 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard that accommodates both chording and speed work across the extended range. Neck-through construction with Ultra Access design and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets provide uncompromised access to the higher positions while delivering clarity and sustain across all seven strings.
Tone & Electronics
The Sustainiac neck pickup with independent 2-Way on/off and 3-Way mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic) generates infinite sustain and harmonic generation, while the Lundgren M7 humbucker bridge pickup delivers aggressive, defined output across the extended range. Independent volume and tone controls with a 3-way pickup selector give you complete command over the instrument's sonic palette, from ambient sustain textures to crushing low-end aggression.
