Based on a rare Schecter gem - sort of
This Schecter Banshee FR-A is loosely based on the short-lived Banshee from 2005-06. It was a very cool guitar with a unique vibe, packing one humbucker, one lipstick single coil pickup, and an odd 5+1 headstock. The Banshee FR-A is equipped for more aggressive tonality, making this model a decidedly different Banshee.

Aggressive tone from active EMG humbuckers
For 100% solid-metal tone, you just can't top the Banshee FR-A's tried-and-true combination of active EMG pickups. Possibly the most popular pickup in metal history, the EMG 81, gives the Schecter Banshee FR-A the intensity your amplifier thrives on. An EMG 85 in the bridge completes the picture, giving you the edge you need to cut through even the busiest mix.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge/tailpiece lets you carve out hardcore bends
Schecter knows that serious shredders like you demand absolute performance out of their guitars. That's why they loaded the Banshee FR-A with a real Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo bridge. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you grab on, rock out, and never worry about pulling your action out of whack. You'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need when you rock out with a Banshee FR-A.
