Description
Schecter Banshee GT FR Electric Guitar Satin Trans Red B-Stock No. 2
The Banshee GT FR records with precision and aggression, thanks to its ultra-thin 'U' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 14" radius ebony fretboard. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access yields solid sustain and body resonance for tracking, while maintaining comfortable upper-fret reach during overdubs and layered parts. A finish crack at the pickup selector screw is present on this B-stock unit—purely cosmetic and non-structural.
Playability & Feel
Neck dimensions measure .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret, enabling the ultra-thin feel the Banshee line is known for. The 25.5" scale length and Floyd Rose Special locking nut with 1.625" width ensure stable tuning across punch-in sessions and precise intonation through aggressive tremolo effects. Maple 3-pc construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists neck movement for consistent string height and tone across multiple takes, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access allows straightforward setup adjustments.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup captures high-output aggression and clarity, cutting through dense mixes, while the EMG 60 neck pickup provides balanced warmth for lead textures and cleaner rhythm passes. A single volume and tone control with 3-way pickup switch keeps session switching intuitive, and the 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active EMG electronics. Mahogany body construction with flamed maple top and set-neck joinery produces focused midrange definition and solid sustain, tracking consistently across different recording spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with a minor cosmetic imperfection: a small finish crack at the pickup selector screw. This mark is purely superficial and has no impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The guitar includes full manufacturer warranty coverage and is sold at a significant discount compared to new condition.
Is this guitar good for metal and djent?
Yes. The Banshee GT FR is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent styles. Its ultra-thin 'U' neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and active EMG 81/60 pickups deliver the speed, aggression, and articulate lead clarity these genres demand, while the Floyd Rose Special tremolo handles aggressive playing techniques reliably.
How does the neck feel, and will upper frets be accessible?
The neck measures .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret, delivering the ultra-thin profile the Banshee line is known for. Set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides comfortable upper-fret access for extended-range passages and rapid position shifts without sacrificing sustain.
What pickups are included, and can I adjust the tone?
The guitar ships with an EMG 81 bridge pickup for high-output aggression and an EMG 60 neck pickup for balanced warmth. A single volume control, single tone control, and 3-way pickup switch keep operation intuitive; the 9-volt battery powers the active electronics.
How stable is the Floyd Rose tremolo?
The Floyd Rose Special locking nut (1.625" width) paired with a 25.5" scale length ensures stable tuning and precise intonation even with aggressive tremolo use. The maple 3-pc neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods further resists neck movement under string tension and tremolo stress.
