The Schecter Banshee Mach-6 is the result of player feedback and Schecter's continual quest for improvement. This solidbody electric guitar features a maple/purpleheart neck-through construction, compound-radius fingerboard, and an attractive maple cap. This version of the Banshee Mach-6 was built to be the most versatile in the entire lineup. It's loaded with a pair of humbucking pickups. The Sustainiac in the neck holds notes as long as you want while the roaring Lundgren M6 bridge pickup pumps out chunky tones. For your dive-bombing pleasure, this axe has been outfitted with a Floyd Rose 1500 locking tremolo bridge that ensures you're always in tune. For those who demand the most from their guitars, the Schecter Banshee Mach-6 is the only way to go.





Neck-through construction boosts sustain





To provide you with the best playing experience possible, Schecter designed the Banshee Mach-6 with neck-through construction. Made with alternating plies of maple and purpleheart, the neck provides you with incredible stability and a boost in sustain. You'll find that your notes sustain a little longer and that the body resonates more than usual. The neck is capped with a compound-radius fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets that are perfect for huge bends and blazing-fast licks. On either side of the neck, two swamp ash wings and an eye-catching flamed maple veneer round out the rest of the body.

Sustainiac neck pickup brings the noise





For unending sustain and almost unlimited creative potential, Schecter added a Sustainiac pickup in the neck position. When engaged, the Sustainiac gives you the option to have a fundamental note ring forth indefinitely or add harmonic feedback to your signal. The Sustainiac system has two mini-toggle controls. The first turns the system on and off, while the second provides you with a 3-way switch to choose between Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes. For the adventurous player, there's simply no substitute for a Sustainiac pickup.





Lundgren bridge pickup brings the ruckus





Guitar fanatics at Sweetwater know that pickup selection is crucial, especially if you're planning to tune down. You'll be happy to know that the Banshee Mach-6 is loaded with a pair of Lundgren M6 humbucking pickups. Descended from Lundgren's well-loved M7 humbucker, the M6 creates the optimal blend between heavy-hitting power and superb clarity. With the boosted clarity, you'll find that these pickups sound tight and ferocious even in the lowest tunings.

Floyd Rose 1500 does your dive-bombs justice





This version of the Mach-6 is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1500 Tremolo bridge. The Floyd Rose 1500 is made from stainless steel to add extra sonic oomph and carries a custom knife edge for improved tuning stability after deep dive-bombs. You'll be perfectly in tune, no matter what sort of Floyd tricks you can pull off.
