Schecter Banshee Mach-7 FR-S Lefty Guitar Fallout Burst
Description
Schecter Banshee Mach-7 FR-S Lefty Guitar Fallout Burst
This left-handed seven-string captures extended range articulation with a razor-thin neck profile and ultra-access construction designed for precision tracking and layering. The Banshee Mach-7 FR-S combines seven-string capability with innovative Sustainiac technology, making it an essential tool for progressive metal, djent, and experimental recording work. The Fallout Burst finish delivers striking visual presence in the studio matched by equally striking sonic character that cuts through dense mixes.
Recording & Playability
The ultra-thin "U"-shaped neck measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th, paired with a 26.5" scale and 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard that accommodates both chording and speed work across the extended range. Neck-through construction with Ultra Access design and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets provide uncompromised access to the higher positions while delivering clarity and sustain across all seven strings—essential for tracking layered riffs and capturing harmonic detail in post.
Tone & Electronics for Tracking
The Sustainiac neck pickup with independent 2-Way on/off and 3-Way mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic) generates infinite sustain and harmonic generation for textural overdubs and ambient passages, while the Lundgren M7 humbucker bridge pickup delivers aggressive, defined output across the extended range that sits well in dense arrangements. Independent volume and tone controls with a 3-way pickup selector give you complete command over the instrument's sonic palette during sessions, from ambient sustain textures to crushing low-end aggression that translates across playback systems.

What is the neck profile like, and is it fast?
The ultra-thin 'U'-shaped neck measures 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard that accommodates both chording and speed work; neck-through construction with Ultra Access heel design provides uncompromised access to higher positions.
What hardware and tuning system does it use?
