Schecter Banshee GT FR Guitar Satin Trans Purple B-Stock 2501
Description
Schecter Banshee GT FR Guitar Satin Trans Purple B-Stock 2501
This unplayed B-stock Banshee GT FR puts a genuinely playable modern metal machine in your hands—ultra-thin neck profile and 25.5" scale engineered for speed and precision through high-gain territory. The Satin Trans Purple finish showcases the beautiful flamed maple top, though this particular unit exhibits fret cracking from the 3rd to 12th fret that requires attention (see detailed photos). At 8 lb 6 oz, the weight delivers responsiveness without sacrificing the substantial presence you need on stage.
Playability & Construction
The Ultra Thin 'U' neck measures just .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th—built for rapid hand position changes and aggressive technique. The 3-piece maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods stays rock-solid under the demands of live playing and hard bending. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access gets you to the upper frets without wrestling the body, while the ebony fretboard with offset/reverse Roman numeral inlays and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius grip your fingers with confidence and deliver clean articulation across the 25.5" scale.
Tone & Electronics
The active EMG pickup pairing—EMG 81 at the bridge for cutting, articulate high-end and EMG 60 at the neck for usable midrange—runs through a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment with straightforward volume/tone/3-way switch controls that stay reliable night after night. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo (Schecter exclusive) locks in your tuning through aggressive dive bombs and stays solid during packed sets.
