Built for Maximum Performance

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

  • Neck-through body design boosts sustain
  • Sustainiac system adds 3 modes of unending sustain

Banshee Mach-6. Outstanding.

Where to start. this guitar is loaded with features. The playability is phenomenal. The neck is so comfortable to play. I love the Lundgern pickups. A long with the the Sustaniac. You get jumbo stainless steel frets not only smooth playing but all so will last you life time. Fit and finish top notch. I had other Shecters before and this one is by far my favorite. It's well worth the price for what you get. I like to give a 5 star my sales engineer Jacob Shutzman for superb service.

Banshee Mach 6FR S

I recently bought a Banshee Mach 6 FRS from Sweetwater and I couldn't be happier. I was a bit scared of buying a guitar without trying it first, but sweetwater answered all my questions. I was especially concerned about the thin neck everyone is talking about online. I don't see why everyone is saying it's so thin, It's not noticably thinner than any other guitar I've played, I mean we're talking about 0.125" thinner than my Fender Tele neck at the first fret. That's literally 17 human hairs thinner according to Google's human hair thickness specs. Plus, it looks SICK with the 5 piece neck, neck through construction, Roman numeral inlays, etc. Schecter is so good that even though you can barely see it, there's binding around the body, neck and headstock. One thing I never thought of is the stainless steel frets. Bending is so different on this guitar, it's effortless to bend because the frets are so smooth. Schecter quality and value are why I chose Schecter and the Lundgren and Sustainiac pickups with Floyd are why I chose this model.
Rated 5/5

Outstanding Axe!!

I'm simply amazed by the amount of specs you get for your money on this loaded axe. The neck and the fretboard are very comfortable. I'm loving the lundgren pick up and it sounds MASSIVE. Looks amazing in person. My 2nd Schecter guitar, no issues.

A+ for Schecter

This axe is stacked with specs. The Lundgren is very articulate with plenty of power. Completely satisfied with the Banshee Mach FR S!

Schecter Banshee Mach-6 FR-S

I had always overlooked Schecter, for many years. Late last year I got a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S in the "Deals" section really cheap due to wood exposure to dings. It was my intention to rip the Sustainiac and cannibalize the Floyd to put on another guitar I had sitting around.

The Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S arrived and I plugged it in and ws frankly stunned. Aside from the Abolone from hell binding and fret inlays the guitar was just too sweet to mess with.
It took me over a year to find the ding since it was on the Abalone.

Since getting that first Schecter I've added several more of the line in my stable.
They are that good.

I've been a sustainer guy since 1988 when I bought my first Kramer Sustainer.

A Little thing to note about the sustainer systems - Unplug your instrument cable from the guitar or they will drain the battery.

Now on to the Schecter Banshee Mach-6 FR-S

This was another score of mine on the Deals section of Sweetwater (My 4th Schecter in the last year)

I was not disappointed, after a string change & setup this guitar sings!
The Lundgren pickups are all that & then some. Capable of searing leads & crunchy rhythm, they also shine for cleans. I absolutely love them for what I play.
The guitar itself is gorgeous as all hello..

I plan on adding a few more, my Fenders & Gibsons are getting dusty..
