Description
Schecter Banshee GT FR Electric Guitar Satin Trans Blue B-Stock
The satin trans blue finish feels silky smooth in your hands, and the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo delivers unlimited expressive range for dive bombs, subtle vibrato, and everything in between. Built on a resonant mahogany body with flamed maple top, this guitar produces scorching high-gain tones with crystalline clarity across modern metal, hard rock, and progressive styles. The ultra-thin 'U' neck with carbon fiber reinforcement encourages exploration of intricate lead work without fatigue, while the set-neck construction with ultra access ensures comfortable upper-fret reach.
Playability & Neck Design
The maple 3-piece neck with carbon fiber rods measures .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret, providing a fast, responsive feel without sacrificing stability. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius ebony fretboard let you bend and articulate with precision, while the 25.5" scale balances classic long-scale response with modern playability.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60 neck pickup combination delivers aggressive, articulate tones with exceptional clarity and output. A 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics, while the volume, tone, and 3-way switch give you tonal flexibility from thick rhythm tones to singing lead voices.
