Frequently asked questions
Why would I choose the PT-7's 7-string over the Banshee's 6-string?
The PT-7 adds a low B string for extended-range metal and djent, while its 26.5" scale optimizes clarity in lower tunings. The Banshee stays at 6-string standard tuning with a 25.5" scale, offering tighter feel and traditional metal/progressive tone.
What's the main tuning-stability difference?
The PT-7 uses a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo with locking nut—precise but requires maintenance and understanding. The Banshee Mach-6 uses an Evertune bridge that auto-compensates for string stress, eliminating tuning drift with zero player adjustment needed.
Is the PT-7 suitable for a left-handed player?
No; the PT-7 is right-handed only. The Banshee Mach-6 is explicitly offered in left-handed (LH) configuration, making it the only choice for southpaw players in this comparison.
Which is better for studio recording?
The PT-7 excels in studio for its Sustainiac infinite sustain effects and three-voice bridge pickup flexibility, enabling experimental textures. The Banshee prioritizes live stability and tight, high-gain definition—both suit studio, but PT-7 offers more sonic shape-shifting.
