Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for djent and drop tunings?
The Banshee-7 FR-S is purpose-built for djent with its seven strings, 26.5-inch scale, and extended-range focused design. The KM-6 MK-III is a traditional six-string that can handle drop tunings but lacks the extended range advantage.
Do either of these guitars have a tremolo system?
Only the Banshee-7 FR-S includes a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge for tremolo effects. The KM-6 MK-III Legacy has a Hipshot hardtail bridge with no tremolo capability.
Which one should I choose if I'm left-handed?
The KM-6 MK-III Legacy is explicitly a left-handed instrument. The Banshee-7 FR-S is not listed as left-handed, making the KM-6 the only option for southpaw players.
How do the pickups differ between these two?
The Banshee-7 uses a Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup for harmonic manipulation. The KM-6 uses dual Lundgren M6 pickups optimized for both high-gain and clean tones with natural compression.
