Schecter Banshee GT FR Electric Guitar Satin Trans Blue B-Stock 1381
The Banshee GT FR is built for speed and precision, with an ultra-thin neck profile and Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo that make technical playing feel effortless. The aggressive yet articulate voice comes from a pair of EMG active pickups (81 bridge, 60 neck) that deliver high-output clarity across all registers. This is a purpose-built instrument for metal, progressive rock, and modern styles where both sustain and note definition matter equally.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin 'U'-shaped neck with 3-piece maple construction and carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides both stability and comfort during extended playing sessions. At just 8.1 pounds, the mahogany body with flamed maple top balances responsiveness with reduced fatigue, while the 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with 14" radius enable quick lateral movement and precise intonation across the entire 25.5" scale.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 and EMG 60 pickup pairing delivers articulate, high-output aggression with excellent note separation—ideal for both chunky rhythm work and soaring leads. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo with locking nut ensures tuning stability during aggressive playing, while the simple volume/tone/3-way switch configuration keeps signal path direct and responsive to pick dynamics.
