Description
Schecter Banshee Mach-6 FR S Lefty Guitar Fallout Burst
The Banshee Mach-6 FR S delivers an exceptionally fast playing experience thanks to its Ultra Thin 'U' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets on an ebony fretboard. Built for left-handed players who demand performance, this instrument combines aggressive styling with legitimate hardware: a roasted maple/purpleheart neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods resists seasonal changes, while the swamp ash body with flamed maple top and Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge provide both tonal character and precise tuning stability for studio and stage work.
Playability & Build
The 25.5" scale and Ultra Thin 'U' neck profile measuring .748" at the first fret feel naturally fast under the fingers, reducing hand fatigue on marathon gigs. Neck-thru construction with Ultra Access means straightforward truss rod adjustments without fuss, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep your place on the fretboard under any stage lighting.
Electronics & Tone
The Sustainiac neck pickup paired with a Lundgren M6 bridge pickup gives you harmonic sustain for atmospheric passages and articulate attack for punchy rhythm work. Independent controls include 2-Way On-Off and 3-Way Sustainiac Mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic modes) plus standard volume, tone, and 3-way pickup selection, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment that's easy to swap mid-tour.
