Sound & Tone
With a swamp ash body, neck-through maple construction, and a 26.5-inch scale, the Banshee-7 FR-S keeps its low B string tight and focused for modern metal, djent, and down-tuned riffing. The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI bridge pickup delivers an aggressive, articulate attack for percussive rhythm work, while the Sustainiac neck pickup and its mini switches add coil-tapping options and sustained, feedback-style textures for leads and ambient passages. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge lets you add dive-bomb and vibrato expression without losing tuning stability.
Schecter Sullivan King Banshee-7 FR-S Guitar Obsidian Blood Finish
The Banshee-7 FR-S is built for speed and precision, with its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and 26.5-inch scale delivering immediate access across all seven strings. The neck-through construction and carbon fiber reinforcement rods provide exceptional stability and sustain, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge offers the tuning lock and tonal control extended-range players demand. This is a purpose-built instrument for modern metal, djent, and lower-tuning experimentation.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape at 0.748" (19mm) at the first fret feels remarkably fast and comfortable for both standard and extended-range playing. A 12 to 16-inch compound radius ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets ensures smooth bends and clean articulation across the entire fingerboard, while the Luminlay side dot markers with black circle accents keep you oriented even in low-light performance conditions.
Tone & Electronics
The bridge position houses a Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI pickup for aggressive, articulate attack, paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup for harmonic sustain and textural flexibility. Master volume control and a 3-way selector with two Sustainiac mini switches give you direct access to coil-tapping and sustain activation, enabling everything from tight rhythmic punch to ambient feedback manipulation.
