Full Description
View Full DescriptionTurbo-charged tone
Articulate lows. Glassy highs. And plenty of midrange punch. The Banshee GT-FR gets its signature grit from two EMG humbuckers. At the bridge, the EMG 81 delivers detailed intensity and fluid sustain. Built from powerful ceramic magnets, the close aperture coils help your solos cut through any mix. At the neck, EMG’s 60 pickup boosts your tone into overdrive. Full of rich harmonic overtones, you’ll be shredding with clarity and character. Both humbuckers work together for well balanced, dynamic expression. This is for the guitarist who demands the best.
Shred with blazing speed
With this much power at your fingertips, you need full control. That’s why Schecter have built the Banshee GT-FR for ultimate comfort and playability. Shred at full speed on a maple neck that’s sculpted for effortless finger positioning. The satin finish makes movement easy, so you’ll be able to go from hot licks to open chords without slowing down. Discover flawless tone at every fret position. 24 extra jumbo frets ensure natural sustain, helping you play scales and shapes with confidence. And thanks to the ebony fingerboard, your riffs will resonate with aggressive charisma. That should help you keep both hands on the wheel…
Tuned to perfection
A high octane machine needs high performance hardware. The GT-FR comes fully equipped with enough juice to take your playing into pole position. Whether you love fierce licks or steady solos, the Floyd Rose tremolo system elevates your riffs to new heights. Soar and dive without knocking your tuning. Thanks to the special locking bridge and nut, your bends and vibrato won’t affect your strings’ pitch, so you can spend more time getting creative, and less time turning your machine heads.
