Rage Onstage with Sullivan King’s Banshee

Sullivan King’s genre-blending approach to metal and EDM has garnered him a legion of devoted fans, including many of our Sweetwater Sales Engineers. Schecter has taken notice, too, in bringing him on as a signature artist. The Sullivan King Banshee FRS makes the fan-favorite Banshee body shape all his own. Everything centers around a 3-piece maple neck-through design and ash body wings. The neck is carved into a lightning-fast, ultra-thin “C” profile for maximum playability. Plus, it comes with carbon fiber neck reinforcement rods to prevent it from warping over the years. On the electronics side, you get a Schecter USA Apocalypse humbucker in the bridge and a Sustainiac in the neck. There’s also a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo for maximum expression. With the Schecter Sullivan King Banshee FRS, you get the musical tools to break sonic boundaries — just like Mr. King himself.

Hard-charging pickups

Plug into your pedalboard and prepare for sonic supremacy. The Sullivan King Banshee FRS comes loaded with two humbucking pickups. You get a Schecter USA Apocalypse bridge pickup, which offers a metric ton of hard-hitting, high-output tone. Switch into the neck position, and the Sustainiac pickup gives you limitless sustain and harmonic content. Whether you’re genre-bending like Sullivan King or playing down-tuned metal or hardcore, the Sullivan King Banshee FRS has the tonal versatility to make it happen.

Ultra-stable maple neck

Schecter outfitted the Sullivan King Banshee FRS with a 3-piece maple neck. It’s carved into an ultra-thin “C” profile for supreme playability up and down the neck. The neck also comes with a pair of carbon fiber reinforcement rods, which help boost the neck’s overall stability. Over the course of time, the reinforcement rods make the neck more resilient to changes in humidity and temperature and prevent string tension from warping the neck.

Maximally expressive tremolo system

Every Sullivan King Banshee FRS is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge and tailpiece. A remake of the original Floyd Rose, the 1500 Series enables you to rock out to your full potential without worrying about tuning stability. Plus, the locking nut ensures you never knock yourself out of tune, no matter how you use or abuse your tremolo system. With the Floyd Rose 1500 Series system, you get rock-solid reliability and effortless response.

Reviews

Rated 5/5
Awesome!
I had no idea who this artist is that designed this signature guitar was...but that's really irrelevant. I have many Schecters...none quite like this one. The quality is just outstanding. The Schecter Apocalypse pickup sounds great in it as does the Sustaniac. Neck is thin and fast. Floyd stays in tune after abuse. I have found zero negatives with this guitar. Also..the blood spatter paint is just sick.
