Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for left-handed players?
Only the Reaper-6 FR-S Elite is offered in left-handed configuration. The Banshee Mach-6 is right-handed only, making it unsuitable for southpaw players.
What is the key tonal difference between these two?
The Banshee Mach-6 focuses on articulate, cutting high-gain tones via a single Lundgren M6 bridge pickup. The Reaper-6 offers dynamic range with dual pickups and a Sustainiac neck pickup that can generate sustained harmonics and experimental textures, making it more versatile for progressive and ambient metal tones.
Do both guitars have the same fretboard and scale?
Both share a 25.5" scale, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard, and Luminlay side dot markers. The Banshee uses a compound radius while the Reaper-6 shares the same specification.
Which guitar is better for studio sessions?
The Reaper-6 FR-S Elite is explicitly designed for studio sessions and offers more tonal shaping options via its Sustainiac controls and dual-pickup setup, making it ideal for layered and experimental recording. The Banshee is optimized for live performance and straightforward high-gain delivery.
