The Schecter Banshee Mach-7 is intended for the player who isn't afraid to explore new sonic textures. This 7-string solidbody has a maple/purpleheart neck-through construction with a compound-radius fingerboard and was designed to be the most versatile extended-range Banshee in Schecter's catalog. It's loaded with two tonally diverse humbucking pickups. In the neck position, a Sustainiac holds onto notes as long as you want, while a boisterous Lundgren M7 bridge pickup pumps out high-output goodness. 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. If you're looking for heavy tones and incredible tonal variety, the Schecter Banshee Mach-7 is a clear choice.





Neck-through construction boosts sustain





To provide you with the best playing experience possible, Schecter designed the Banshee Mach-7 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-7 is loaded with a pair of Lundgren M7 humbucking pickups. Used by artists including Meshuggah and Ghost, these pickups sit in the sweet spot between knockout power and incredible note definition. With the boosted clarity, you'll find that the M7's sound tight and vicious even in the lowest tunings.





Floyd Rose 1500 does your dive-bombs justice





This version of the Mach-7 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. Whether you're adding subtle and expressive vibrato or really leaning into the bar, the Floyd Rose 1500 will easily keep up.
