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 delivers the fast, aggressive playability Schecter built into the platform—an ultra-thin neck profile and 25.5" scale that cuts through with precision. The Satin Trans Purple finish shows 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, it balances responsiveness with substantial presence.
Playability & Construction
The Ultra Thin 'U' neck measures just .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th, paired with a 3-piece maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods for stability and minimal neck dive. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides excellent upper-fret access, while the ebony fretboard with offset/reverse Roman numeral inlays and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius deliver articulate note separation and bend control across the 25.5" scale.
Tone & Electronics
Active EMG pickups—the EMG 81 at the bridge for aggressive high-end articulation and the EMG 60 at the neck for balanced midrange—run through a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment and simple volume/tone/3-way switch controls. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo (Schecter exclusive) maintains pitch stability through aggressive playing and diving effects.
