Sound & Tone
The EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers tight, high-output attack with cutting treble definition, while the EMG 60 in the neck position offers clearer, more focused voicing for leads and cleaner passages, both backed by the low noise floor of active electronics. Mahogany body with a flamed maple top and set-neck construction lend weight and sustain beneath that aggressive top end, and the ebony fretboard adds snap and articulation to fast picking. With a 25.5" scale, thin neck, 24 frets and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo, it is aimed squarely at high-gain metal, hard rock and shred playing where dive bombs and extended-range lead work are part of the vocabulary.
Schecter Banshee GT FR Electric Guitar Satin Trans Red B-Stock 2545
The Banshee GT FR delivers a distinctly thin, fast neck profile that rewards precision technique and rapid position shifts across its 24 frets. This B-stock example features small cracks in the fretboard binding at the 7th and 11th fret—cosmetic wear that does not affect playability or structural integrity. Built for players pursuing high-gain tones and advanced tremolo techniques, this guitar pairs aggressive hardware with refined construction at a significant discount.
Playability & Feel
The Ultra Thin 'U' neck measures just .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th, combined with a 25.5" scale and 14" fretboard radius for a responsive, contemporary playing experience. 24 X-Jumbo frets and an ebony fretboard provide smooth articulation and durability, while the Maple 3-pc neck with Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods ensures stability and minimal neck dive even during aggressive tremolo use.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81/60 active pickup pairing—bridge and neck respectively—generates articulate high-end attack and sustain characteristic of professional-grade metal and rock applications. Active electronics demand a 9-volt clip-in battery, delivering consistent output and minimal noise across all volume settings. The Floyd Rose Special "Hot Rod" locking tremolo with brass block and noiseless springs maintains tuning stability through extreme pitch manipulation.
