Mythical tone
Screaming highs. Rumbling lows. And mids that go bump in the night. The Banshee Mach-6 FR S was built for the slayer who demands the best. Whether you’re laying down a fast solo, a steady chord progression, or something in between, two humbuckers give you full-bodied crunch that’s responsive to pick attack. The Lundgren M6 pickup offers articulate clarity across an entire frequency range, promising aggressive bottom end without sacrificing the tops. Go from thick tonal textures to bright, glassy timbre even when distorted. And when you need to add a touch of finesse, balance your sound with the fundamental mix harmonic switch. That’s versatility that’s almost supernatural.
Haunting atmosphere
Don’t be mistaken. The Mach-6 FR S may be full of bite, but that doesn’t mean it can’t howl too. In fact, Schecter have equipped the Banshee with a Sustainiac pickup for when you’re ready to let out your inner beast. From dark, droning ambience to infinite, ethereal sustain, this unique humbucker unlocks a new dimension of creativity. And thanks to a range of sophisticated controls, you can blend your tone to get something truly unique. This is sonic texture like no other. You’ll see exactly why they call it the Banshee.
Monstrous playability
There’s no denying it. The Banshee Mach-6 FR S sounds as fierce as it looks. But don’t be scared. It plays like a dream. Go from fast, chugging solos to tight, dextrous scales without breaking a sweat. The roasted maple/purpleheart neck has been sculpted for smooth playability. With its ultra-thin U shape and 25.5” length, you’ll have uninhibited movement across every fret on the fingerboard. And thanks to a choice cut of ebony, your strings will be howling with resonant sustain. Whether you’re up high or down low, the extra jumbo frets make finger positioning easy. So even if your riffs sound hardcore, you can be sure they won’t be hard to play.
Legendary hardware
From classic rock to modern metal. Guitarists from all genres have been searching for a mythical beast… flawless tone at every fret. Finally, the search is over. The Banshee Mach-6 FR S ensures faultless tuning stability, even after soaring dive bombs on the tremolo system. The Floyd Rose bridge works in harmony with the locking nut, providing unrivalled intonation at every fret. Take a look for yourself. Each string boasts improved vibration with minimised crosstalk for maximum clarity. Whatever style you play, your strings will be singing in tune. Or should we say, wailing in the night…
